MODERN HOME
Palm Springs, known for its amazing restaurants and fun bars, is also one of the best Mid-Century shopping meccas in California. Throughout the city, you can find many vintage and resale shopping destinations from thrift stores that benefit nonprofits to art galleries and chic Uptown Design District boutiques with one-of-a-kind funky finds.
You don’t have to go hog-wild and redo your entire home — a new chair, wall accessory, lamp, or centerpiece can go a long way to freshening up your home and giving it that mid-century modern vibe. Most will ship right to you. Here are some of our favorites:
H3K Design Showroom
As seen on many an HGTV Palm Springs episode, this showroom specializes in unusual Mid Century finds. Most items are new, inspired by the years gone by.
Palm Canyon Galleria
The Galleria feels a little like an open-air marketplace nestled in a vintage Palm Springs building. Made up of several different shops, the Galleria boasts an impressive range of midcentury-designed and vintage clothing as well as eclectic items and antiques — from art, pottery and sculpture, to small furniture, lighting, accessories, and design-oriented books.

Hedge
This home design shop is in the up-and-coming Perez Road Art & Design District, in nearby Cathedral City. Hedge is a wonderful place for one-of-a-kind finds. They offer a range of moderately priced furnishings, art, and home goods, ranging in styles from Danish Modern to Mid-Century. The store has a bit of celebrity appeal, as well—it's the work of designer Thomas Sharkey and Charles Pearson, who used to be actress Shirley MacLaine's assistant. (Only open 12-5 PM Thurs-Sun)
At Hom
Also found in the Perez Road Art & Design District, At Hom offers a wide variety of vintage, mid-century, and modern designed furniture, art, and accessories in over 5,000 square feet of showroom.
