Customer Spotlight: Vivid Hue Home

August 25, 2015 By: Two's Companycomment

We are so lucky to work with some of the best retailers in the country.  We believe every retailer has a story worth sharing so today’s spotlight is focused on Vivid Hue Home in Farmington, CT.  Vivid Hue opened its doors in Spring 2015 and offers stylish “must haves” for the home. It’s the perfect destination for hostess gifts, greeting cards, dorm room decor, small home furnishings, pillows, art, tabletop accessories and other gifts.

How did you come up with the name?
I started a popular design blog 3 years ago called, Vivid Hue Home.
I believed that everyone could use a dose of color in their lives and I loved to mix patterns and colors in decorating. The blog ended up being a platform for the decorating projects in my own home located in Farmington, CT.

Why Farmington?
I am a Farmington resident and have wanted to bring a unique gift shop to our area. I wanted to create a destination that locals could visit frequently and always find something different and unique for their homes. One of the historical cottages became available along the row of buildings on Brick Walk Lane and I thought that would be a perfect spot for my type of gift shop. The boutique is located within walking distance from Miss Porter’s School, the Hillstead and the Stanley Whitman House.

What business are you in?
My gift shop offers stylish “must haves” for the home. Vivid Hue Home is the perfect destination for a hostess gift, greeting cards, dorm room décor, small home furnishings, pillows, art, tabletop accessories, colorful accessories and other gifts. I am also featuring a few brands of furniture that have never been offered in Connecticut. While I will provide staple items that you can always find, I want to always have rotating inventory so that when my customers come into the shop, they will always find something unique and different that they won’t see anywhere else.

What’s the most difficult challenge you’ve faced as a business owner?
So far there have not been any, other than all of the preparation involved with opening up a small, locally owned business.

What’s been your proudest achievement since opening?
We opened on May 1st and the feedback has been tremendously positive. Local residents have stopped in to check out our space and have said it reminds them of a gift shop they’d see in Palm Beach or on Martha’s Vineyard. Many customers come into the shop and make themselves comfortable on the sofa and vintage chairs and sit and socialize. I love the idea that we’re not only a gift shop but a local destination for the community.

How does your business give back to the community?
I hope to participate in local charities and offer a fun, unique destination for my customers.
