Even when I'm trying not to shop too much, I still try and visit brick and mortar stores as much as possible for inspiration. Retail stores often take more risks in the way they can decorate and display items than we do in our homes because the stores don't need to function as a long-term, livable space. Whether it's a painted storefront, an illustrated window, or amazing tile—all of these examples really inspire ideas for my "some day" home.
P.S. More retail inspiration right here…

I completely agree with you! Retail stores sure know how to decorate whimsically with a modern or classy touch. I love how creative stores can be! These pictures are so much fun!
It’s for the very reasons you described, that I love Anthropologie…almost more for their store decor than their clothes! There are times when I’ve gone in, not to try on anything, but to just sit on one of their fabulous tufted leather couches and read a coffee table book! It’s a space that always feels warm and comforting….no matter which one I visit!
The yellow ‘light glow’ is too stinking cute! This would be great in a kid’s room as well.
