“I’ll pop in to see you.” I hear it all the time, and it always surprises me.

For those who are new to Fiore Home, we are a full-service interior design company and home furnishings showroom in Yarmouth, Maine. When I opened Fiore Home in 2016, I wasn’t aiming to create a traditional retail store. I wanted a space where people could experience the organic, modern, coastal aesthetic I love—filled with curated pieces that reflect my design philosophy. While in Portland, Maine, I found nice stores but nothing that felt like my style. So, I opened my own little creative space, and it grew. I moved to Yarmouth, where parking is available (unlike Portland, where parking is scarce). Plus, I love that we’re only 15 minutes north of the city.

On the design side, I take on projects that fit us in terms of scope (usually whole-home projects), and we serve a wide range of locations—from Maine to California, Arkansas to Boston. It’s safe to say I’ve worked on great projects all over. This is Fiore Interiors, the design firm side of the business. Fiore Home is for anyone who wants to bring warmth, texture, and natural beauty into their space. Sometime over the years, I got tired of explaining the two and just went by Fiore Home. Because of this, folks often expect me to be sitting at the register all day.

However, I, Vanessa, am the owner, and I’m rarely behind the counter at our shop. I’m not there to volunteer my favorite paint colors (truly, what works for one home doesn’t always work for the next) or spend hours with sales reps who won’t make an appointment. That was never my vision—and dear Lord, I have no time for it. If I were there every day, I wouldn’t be able to get any design work done.

Fiore Home is a design driven store.

Fiore Home, a design-driven store, is an extension of my interior design business and core values. Our pieces are curated for busy families (durability is key) and designed to elevate your home. We blend beauty and practicality so you can create a space that feels like home, not a big-box store that everyone else shops at. Most of our wood products are FSC-certified and non-toxic, which is becoming harder to find.

Our gift section is also a creative outlet. If you walk by our front windows, you’ll see that most products are made by women or, if made by larger companies, are women-owned. We support artisans whenever possible, but I keep the selection fresh and ever-changing, balancing the abstract things my creative soul loves with mainstream items like organic linen bedding.

I’m an Interior Designer.

I’ve been in this industry for 19 years. I know more about furniture construction than most—in fact, I sell that furniture to designers across the country, too! My team handles my pickiness quite well, and they naturally love both design and helping people. Everyone has kids and/or dogs—we get it—that beauty + practicality combo. They work with our store customers to help find what fits their space. I step in as needed, usually for special-order furniture projects (I am the upholstery queen), since I work full-time on the design firm side of the business. We all work hard to keep the space fun, down-to-earth, and inspiring.

I grew up just outside Yosemite National Park, so you’ll see a bit of hippie in here—my favorite candles, sculptural pottery, even jewelry made from nature-inspired materials. I love recycled materials, petrified wood, terrazzo, and solid white oak. I’ve been asked more than once by our delivery team to “please stop adding these heavy things to the store.” In my defense, they’re really, really pretty.

My design style is coastal, organic, modern—a mix of clean lines, natural textures, and warmth. I focus on creating timeless, functional spaces full of character. Fiore Interiors, my full-service interior design firm, is where I dive deep into client projects, from renovations to multi-room designs. Our clients span beyond Southern Maine—we frequently work with clients in Maine, New Hampshire, and across the country, thanks to our nationwide shipping and 19 years of experience.
