Above the Fray: At Barneys, Home is Where the Shopping Is

Head downstairs through the men's section of the Barneys Warehouse Sale and into the Chelsea Passage and voila! You've found the oft forgotten home accessories section. In a mishmash of random home and tabletop items, shoppers can source some real finds.

Create your own color palette with a selection of plastic casual plates and bowls in punchy colors ($4-6), then mix in some handblown wine glasses and tumblers by Bribe ($8-$9 each). There are also adorable pink tea kettles for $22 each and neon plastic utensil sets for $15 per set. Turn the corner to happen upon a handful of Hermès fine china on the shelves (how about a creamer for $180?). There are also table linens, cashmere throws (a bit steep at $695), patterned throw pillows and $19 tie-dyed beach blankets. You can also decorate and pretend to be well-rounded with a random selection of coffee table books—from Alabama Stitch to Apt. 301 by Will Anderson. Also of note—for forward-thinking decorators, look for funky seasonal holiday items. There are a few green vine Christmas trees and neon orange menorah shaped wall hangings—something for everyone. Happy shopping!—Fawnia Soo Hoo
