Founded in 2016, Brown & Beam is a family owned furniture and home decor boutique created as an alternative to conventional retail. Shaped by the homes we have designed and lived in over the years, the store reflects a thoughtful blend of old and new, modern and traditional, urban and industrial influences brought together with intention and care.
Owned and led by interior designer Lora Brown, Brown & Beam is rooted in a belief that furnishings should feel considered, personal, and enduring. Each piece is selected not only for its visual appeal, but for its craftsmanship, material integrity, and ability to stand the test of time. The result is a collection designed to help create spaces that feel lived in, balanced, and genuinely yours.
At Brown & Beam, our mission is to help create spaces that feel personal, meaningful, and lived in. We believe a home should reflect who you are and support the way you live each day. Rather than offering mass produced furnishings, we focus on thoughtfully curated pieces that balance design, durability, and long term appeal. Whether you visit us in store or shop online, our goal is to offer furniture and decor that feels both approachable and enduring, with guidance rooted in experience and care.
Brown & Beam is grounded in a strong connection to community and a belief in giving back. From contributing to local projects such as Parade Home staging to hosting wellness focused gatherings, we are committed to supporting and uplifting the people and places around us. We value integrity, approachability, and genuine service, and we strive to create an environment where customers feel welcomed, supported, and inspired. Every interaction and every piece we offer reflects this commitment.
In addition to a carefully curated selection of furniture and decor, Brown & Beam offers interior design services led by founder Lora Brown. With years of experience designing residential and commercial spaces, Lora brings a thoughtful and intuitive approach to every project. In 2020, Brown & Beam was honored with a bronze medal for interior design by the city of Madison, a recognition that reflects both experience and dedication to the craft. Each project is approached with an emphasis on function, balance, and lasting comfort, resulting in spaces that feel both refined and easy to live in.
