Chelsea House

What Chelsea House does

Chelsea House is a family-owned wholesale distributor of home accessories, furniture, lighting, wall décor, and mirrors, founded in 1974 and headquartered in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. The company operates a trade-only go-to-market model, selling exclusively to interior designers, retailers, and contract/hospitality buyers rather than direct to consumers. Its product portfolio spans decorative lighting, case goods, upholstery, and accent pieces, including named designer collaborations and a sister brand, Wildwood, which addresses adjacent design aesthetics.

The company generates revenue primarily through wholesale trade orders, supplemented by project-based contract and hospitality work that includes custom modifications such as COM (customer's own material) acceptance, custom finishes, and international wiring configurations. Trade accounts access the catalog through printed catalogs, dedicated account management, and project quoting. Chelsea House also offers in-house customization services, allowing it to support both small designer orders and large hospitality rollouts within the same operational footprint.

Chelsea House is privately held and family-owned, with 11-50 employees and no public revenue or funding disclosures. Its competitive positioning rests on 50+ years of brand heritage, a curated trade-only distribution channel, designer-led product development, and flexible customization capabilities for both residential and contract/hospitality customers.
