And this is where working with a local store with highly trained staff comes in. We offer In Home Consultations, so that we may guide the selection process to fit your needs. Decorum Furniture has access to some of the best Domestic and International lines of Furniture and Home Accents. Products are purchased directly from suppliers to assure bringing you the best possible prices in a highly competitive market.
Our promise is simply to do everything humanly possible to make your decorating experience awesome!
Decorum Furniture opened in the Mid-1970s. Originating in a city that began in the 1600s, you would believe that traditional “Williamsburg-inspired” furnishings were the preferred choice for residences in such an historic city. But the lure of something different, and a crisp and clean contemporary style, proved to be a genuine success. In the mid-1980s, owners Vernon Middleton and Claus Ihlemann decided that remaking the local furniture market wasn’t enough, and proceeded to remodel a grouping of older buildings in the 300 block of West 21st Street in Norfolk. The Palace Shops & Station was born, anchored by Decorum Furniture and home to 45 business, retail shops, restaurants and services.

Today, Decorum Furniture employees a total of 20 people, managers, sales associates, designers, installers and delivery technicians.
