We’re excited to share the latest chapter of our Sidewalk Stories series at Helms Design District, and this time we’re sinking into something soft — with a spotlight on the furniture and design showrooms that anchor our campus and the talented teams behind them.
Whether you’re drawn in by a perfectly sculpted lounge chair or the calming vibe of a beautifully curated space, there’s something unmistakably inspiring about the design energy at Helms.
Illustrator Nancy Nimoy, a longtime Helms tenant, captures the feel of this chapter beautifully, with a warm and welcoming setting that reminds us all why thoughtful design matters. It’s not just about how something looks. It’s about how it makes you feel.
Come for the comfy chair. Stay for the everything.
More than just places to shop, our showrooms are a destination for dreamers, doers, and design lovers alike. You’ll find timeless classics and innovative new pieces, eco-conscious materials, and design icons — all under one creative roof. From modern minimalism to rich, layered luxury, the District offers something for every taste and every room in the house.
But what truly sets Helms apart? The people. Each showroom is staffed by experts who are not only passionate about design — they live and breathe it. Whether you’re furnishing your first apartment, rethinking your living room, or sourcing pieces for a full-scale renovation, you’ll find guidance, creativity, and genuine collaboration around every corner.
