Mission + Philosophy

More Than A Store
Founded in April, 2016, by Stephen & Allison Willoughby, Home Alternatives originally began as Kindred Spirit, a small home decor store on Merchants Row in downtown Rutland, Vermont.
From their first day in business response from customers was incredible and led us to expand and move around the corner to 116 West Street. Our new location allows us to offer a wider selection of furniture while still displaying the smaller accents and decor our customers love.
