  • Mid in Mod Outlet

    Curator’s Pick
    Featuring many of the same mid-century home furnishings as Mid & Mod in Upper Kirby, their outlet in Katy is another one of the best modern furniture stores in Houston, especially if you prefer hands-off salespeople. Here you’re free to browse at your leisure but be warned: catching the attention of a salesperson during peak hours can be difficult. Even so, affordable outlet prices and stress-free shopping are just two of the many reasons to visit this modern furniture outlet.

  • Modani Furniture

    Curator’s Pick
    Discover Modani Furniture, one of the best modern furniture stores in Houston. Located in Houston’s Uptown neighborhood, they cleverly advertise “minimalist prices” despite their luxury batch of exclusive contemporary designs. The parking lot can get crowded during neighboring Truluck’s happy hours, but the store reserves plenty of spots strictly for their clientele. If you prefer avoiding the crowds altogether, Modani’s design team will meet with you online, providing 3D renderings to demonstrate how their furniture will look in your space. Their customer service team goes the extra mile for your comfort and convenience throughout the entire shopping process.

  • Modern Furniture

    Curator’s Pick
    Modern Furniture on Fondren specializes primarily in Danish furniture and just as their name indicates, they exclusively focus on modern style. They offer a wide array of minimalist Danish furniture pieces and are arguably the best modern furniture store in Houston for dining and bedroom sets. With gorgeous bar stools, benches, curios, console tables, and more, anyone who loves contemporary furniture should visit them. Thanks to being located in a strip center, parking is a cinch. Just keep in mind the glass coffee tables, shelving units, and vases make Modern Furniture the opposite of kid-friendly.

  • MW Furniture Outlet

    Curator’s Pick
    If you’re cool with “open box” furniture, then the MW Furniture Outlet might be the best modern furniture store in Houston for you. If you know what you’re after and your budget is your prime concern, visit their showroom on Beechnut and Highway 6. While you’ll find affordable modern furniture here, you will not find glamorous displays with lots of pizazz or the white glove service provided by luxury modern décor powerhouses. What you will get are straightforward deals, and it’s worth noting that reviews rave about their customer service and efficient delivery.
