Curating a more conscious closet continues to be one of the fastest growing fashion trends, but the same concept can be applied to styling your home, too. This could mean hunting for goods that are sustainably and ethically made, but it also may be about the folks behind the business you’re giving your money to. With Pride Month underway, it’s a great time to introduce yourself to some LGBTQIA-owned home decor brands that will help spruce up your space and support the community at the same time.

Pride Month was created to honor and celebrate the achievements of the LGBTQIA rights activists in the Stonewall uprising in June 1969. There are so many ways these celebrations can take place, and that includes shining a light on emerging queer-owned companies. And when it comes to dressing up your home with fair trade goods, cool, contemporary furniture pieces, or vintage decor, there are a tons of brands and retailers with a member of the LGBTQIA community at the helm that you may not have even heard of yet — but they could be the key to the home upgrade you’ve been dreaming about. In essence, shopping these businesses is a total win-win scenario.
