Some of Our Favorite Wilmington Home Decor Artists

At The Cameron Team, we believe it’s important to support local businesses. They are the foundation of Wilmington’s economy. Most new jobs are provided by local businesses and 70 cents of every dollar spent at a small business stays in the community through paid wages and nonprofit donations. For big box stores, it’s only 30 cents. If everyone spent just $64 more per year locally, the economic impact would equate to 200,000 new jobs. So, next time you’re thinking of buying, consider buying locally.

To help, here’s a list of some of our favorite local “handmade” home decor artists.

Coastal Crate

The folks at Coastal Crate make homemade beach-inspired picture frames, furniture, and gifts. Their signature look is recycled wood pallets painted in varying shades of teal, green, and coral. They also like to decorate with fun and inspiriting quotes. However, they will also do custom orders (you can see a Superman headboard on their Facebook page) and in-home parties where you choose the colors. Ready-made pieces are available at High Tide Home and Uptown Market in Wilmington.
