Paramount Decorators

I LOVE THIS STORE. So many Great things here for the HOME… I’m always shopping … Very helpful staff also

They have some nice stuff in this store for those who are on a tight budget. However they need to lower the counter in the front so customers can see their transactions.

Got some things for my new apartment here when I moved this summer. Nice staff and good selection of home décor items, trash cans (it’s actually really difficult to find a decent trash can within lugging distance to your apt in this city!), door hooks, etc. Will definitely stop by here again if I need something for my place. They don’t carry super durable, quality stuff, and some of it is just plain cheese, but it’s cheap and comes through when I need it!

I decorated my new apartment with the great stuff found in this store. And the fact that it isn’t reviewed yet means that too many of you Unilocalers are walking by it scared of the glory hole that is Paramount Decorators on 125^th. Come on people. Act like a conservative politician at a rural rest stop and just try it. You’ll like it, I promise.
There is something you need for every room in your apartment here. And it’ll cost you, on overage, 10−50% less than you’d pay in a Bed Bath and Beyond or Home Depot. (haha, suck it roommate who also bought stuff for our apartment and spent hundreds more shopping downtown.*)
Not only did I furnish my apartment on the cheap, but I absolutely love everything I found.
Four perfect red curtain panels and 2 great rods (such a wide selection — dig and find the gems!) for $ 55 total.
Super cool light fixture for my room, $ 30
Window blinds for $ 10 each
Super cool red dish drainer for $ 8
Great 3-​drawer plastic drawers for my closet for less than I could find them online. $ 27 each.
Window fan, $ 20
They also have great kitschy stuff here — elephant sculptures galore and matching bathroom sets featuring gold seahorses and lots of stuff with fruit designs. Fruit is big in 2010 home fashions apparently.
Staff is helpful with the searching. Especially in places where the inventory goes up to the ceiling, asking the people who have to stock it is an important part of cutting your shopping time in half.
*I mean suck it in the most loving way possible. My roommate rocks.
