11 Black & POC decor brands to shop from now (and forever)
H e l l o d e s i g n l o v e r s !
With everything happening in the world, I’ve been thinking more and more about representation in the design industry. Did you know as of 2019 the Design Census reported that the design industry is 71% White/Caucasian and only 36% Asian, 8% Latinx/Hispanic, 5% Bi-racial/Multi-racial, 3% Black/African American, and less than 1% Native American?
These numbers do not surprise me, because as a Black female designer, I’ve lived it. But design is such a colorful, important space and I have hope that we will do better! So with all this extra time on my hands (thanks quarantine) I started hunting and found some great, talented BIPOC (Black/Indigenous/People Of Color) furniture and decor brands that I plan to source/shop from, and you should too :)
Keep reading to see my top 11 BIPOC designers to shop from now and forever!

This list just scratches the surface of the talented, inspiring BIPOC brands that exist. I’m making it a personal goal to not only furnish my own space with BIPOC designers but actively source from them in my KEEKS Interiors design projects. Will you join me in supporting small, BIPOC designers?
P.S. - Expand your support by sharing this post with someone you know! And if there are any BIPOC designers you know of that I should check out, comment & let me know :)
