ABC CARPET & HOME
888 Broadway
212-473-3000

It’s the obvious choice for floor coverings, but who knew ABC Carpet & Home has one of the best selections of lamps and light fixtures to be found under one mansard roof? While some stores specialize in traditional or modern, here you’ll find both (and everything in between), in versions both vintage and new. Browse the Las Venus in-store boutique on the second floor for sixties-era funnel-neck standing lamps, peruse the vintage-inspired silk shades at the Judi’s outpost on the ground floor, or pick a Victorian stained-glass lamp from Dream Works made for ABC. Look ceilingward for multi-armed Murano glass chandeliers and cut-glass Baccarat extravaganzas. Lighting can be one of the store’s most affordable categories, with fixtures starting as low as $80.
