Our Story

At Maison Muir, we blend the timeless with the contemporary, bringing together pieces that tell stories and create meaningful spaces. Our global travels have inspired us to discover exquisite vintage and antique treasures, as well as small-batch collections from brands we love—each chosen for their quality, craftsmanship, and history.

We are driven by a passion for sustainability and a commitment to the circular economy—choosing antiques and vintage pieces as a meaningful alternative to mass-produced decor.  We thoughtfully source fabrics and materials that reflect our values, selecting each item with care and deep respect for the artisans and the stories behind them.  Every piece is built to last, ready to begin a new chapter in your home and be cherished for years to come.
