About Cradle & Hearth
We help people turn a house into a home that reflects how they actually live.
Our Story
Cradle & Hearth began with a simple observation: buying a home is the first step, not the last one. The harder part starts once the keys are yours and every room is empty at the same time.
Furnishing a whole house is a genuinely different problem from buying a chair. You are not making one decision, you are making eighty, and every one of them has to agree with the others. Most furniture retail is built for the first kind of shopping and leaves you to do the hard part alone, which is why a catalog of forty thousand sofas is less useful than it sounds.
So we start from the other end. Work out the style first, in terms specific enough to act on, and the individual choices get much easier. That is what the consultation is for, and it is free because it is the part that should come before anyone asks you to buy anything.
Our Approach
Three steps, in this order, because getting them out of order is how people end up with a house full of things that do not go together.
Discover
A short consultation reads your taste from choices between rooms, then asks which rooms you want to furnish, what you are keeping, and how the rooms should feel.
- Choices between rooms, no style labels
- The rooms you want to furnish
- What you are keeping
Define
You get a finished room for each room you chose, shown complete, with why it fits you and what to avoid, so you can judge a piece against something concrete.
- Each room named and explained
- Every piece marked and priced
- Three things to avoid
Furnish
That room becomes the filter. Instead of forty thousand sofas, the point is a small number of rooms that actually go together, each one added to the cart as a whole.
- Curation over selection
- Whole rooms, not single pieces
- Built to be lived in
