Modern & Contemporary Furniture Stores in Austin
Modern furniture in Austin clusters in a few places. Domain NORTHSIDE has three showrooms on neighboring blocks. Downtown has three more within about a mile of each other. The rest are single stops in East Austin, South Lamar, South Austin, and the northwest side.
Every address below comes from the store’s own website as of October 2026. Call before driving across town for one specific piece.

Copenhagen is a short drive from the Domain, so it pairs well with a Domain NORTHSIDE trip. The North Austin guide covers what else is nearby.
Modern, contemporary, and mid-century
Stores use these words loosely. A few practical differences:
- Modern usually means clean lines, low profiles, and little ornament. Room & Board, Blu Dot, and Design Within Reach fit here.
- Contemporary often means current European design: Italian sofas, modular systems, sculptural pieces. Scott + Cooner and Urbanspace fit here.
- Mid-century modern means designs from roughly the 1940s to 1960s, or new pieces in that style. Joybird leans this way. For original vintage pieces, see our mid-century modern guide.
Before you go
- Measure the room, the doorways, and any stairs. Low modern sofas are often deep, and depth is what gets stuck in a doorway.
- Ask whether the piece on the floor is in stock or made to order. Many of these stores build upholstery after you order.
- Ask for fabric or leather swatches to take home. Showroom lighting is not your lighting.
- Get the delivery price and what it includes. Our delivery guide lists the questions to ask.
