About Wilderhouse

Our retail space is approximately 1,200 sq ft and offers a warm, neutral backdrop ideal for photoshoots, filming, workshops, and more. The front-of-house features beautiful built-in shelving set into gently arched wall niches, perfect for styling flat-lays or portrait set-ups. A high, vaulted ceiling with soft globe lighting adds height, elegance, and a lovely, even natural glow throughout the space. Against this serene backdrop, the organically textured ceramics, natural-fiber textiles, and curated sustainable goods we showcase bring a refined, minimalist-bohemian aesthetic. The retail floor feels airy yet grounded, making it a versatile setting for a wide range of creative and commercial uses. Beyond the sales floor, the back-of-house area is a well-organized and beautifully designed space that functions not only as a functional workspace, but also as a stunning, photogenic environment. With clean lines, thoughtful storage solutions, and soft lighting, it provides an excellent secondary zone for photoshoots, behind-the-scenes content, or film production. Whether used as a prep area, wardrobe zone, or a scene in its own right, this part of the space continues the elevated aesthetic that defines Wilderhouse. What works beautifully here: Editorial photoshoots featuring natural light, neutral tones, and texture-rich props—ideal for home-goods, fashion, ceramics, candles, and jewelry. Video content such as brand interviews, tutorials, or short films, framed by the space’s calm, Scandinavian-meets-West-Coast aesthetic. Workshops & classes, e.g., candle-making, soap-crafting, ceramics, or herbal-apothecary sessions—drawing on Wilderhouse’s own in-house production. Intimate gatherings: book clubs, artist talks, trunk shows, or cocktail receptions with up to 30–40 guests in the open floor-plan. Pop-ups or small retail events: perfect for local creators seeking a thoughtfully curated setting to showcase lifestyle or artisan wares. Trade or styling rentals: interior designers, stylists, and creative professionals can use the space for product staging or editorial content creation. Space highlights include: Built-in arched shelving for layered product displays or mood-board vignettes. Natural and ambient lighting, thanks to large storefront windows and soft overhead globes. Neutral palette with organic accents, providing a clean canvas that photographs beautifully. Versatile floor area adaptable for seated presentations, buffet tables, easels, or video gear setups. Back-of-house space that’s just as photogenic and functional as the main area. Logistics & amenities: Street-level entry with showroom access; adjacent prep/storage areas included. Occupancy accommodates ~10-15 seated, or ~60 standing guests comfortably. Wilderhouse is more than a store—it’s a creative canvas. Whether you're planning content creation, experiential pop-ups, brand launches, or wellness events, this space offers an elevated and authentic environment that supports beautiful, design-driven experiences.
