We are the funky aesthetic.

Welcome to the funky aesthetic. We’re a secondhand & vintage home decor and clothing shop based in New City, NY. My husband and I bought our first home in 2021, and like many new homeowners, we didn’t really know what our style was. We knew how we wanted our home to make us feel, but none of the more mainstream aesthetics seemed to fit. Naturally, shopping became overwhelming.

Totally clueless, I jotted down as many ideas as I could, images that I felt evoked the vibes we wanted in our home. Fabulous and deranged ideas like: Gloria Steinem smoking Virginia Slims in a sunken living room or Mad Men meets The Highwaymen meets Grumpy Old Men, and more broadly: confident basement & probably drugs. While there aren’t any cigarettes or hard drugs in our cocky excuse for a basement, our ideas were really just an amalgamation of references from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

With form & function in mind, we moved forward with our design strategy: the pursuit of a funkier era. We call it the funky aesthetic.

The funky aesthetic indulges wood panelling and carpeted walls, and makes no apologies. The best part? We drop new vintage decor, clothing and furniture every single day in our online shop as well as Saturdays* in our booth at the Brooklyn Flea, and our steadfast goal will always be to make interior design accessible & affordable for all budgets. At the funky aesthetic, we source vintage, we shop sustainably, and we restore quality craftsmanship from a funkier era back to its former glory.

Oh, and the dog is Rambo. He’s our mascot and accountant.

This is Rambo.

*Update 2025 Flea Season: Visit us at Brooklyn Flea every Saturday in April, June, August & October.
