Together, they built a team that's grown from two best friends in a van to 60+ full-time employees across California and North Carolina.

OUR STORY

From a Borrowed Truck to a Nationwide Brand

In the strange, uncertain days of 2020, while most people were figuring out sourdough and succulents, we were zigzagging across the country noticing something no one seemed to be solving: people needed furniture — just not in six months. So we did the only logical thing: quit our jobs, cleared out our savings, and built a furniture company from the ground up. One that delivered same day.

We Bought Our First Truck

The very beginning. No fancy logistics, no fleet — just one truck and two guys with a dream to deliver furniture faster than anyone else.

August 1, 2021

We Rented Our First Store & Renovated It Ourselves

No contractors, no budget for professionals. We rolled up our sleeves, grabbed some paint, and got to work building our first space from scratch.

August 25, 2021

20 Days Later — Our First Store Was Open

We finished the renovation in just 20 days and opened our very first store. It wasn't perfect, but it was ours.

Fall 2021

Small Store, Big Ideas

Our first store was small, but we even built an outdoor furniture display and moved everything in and out every single day. Hustle was our only strategy.

The Grind

Startup Life: Where Even Bruises Tell a Story

Paint on faces, bandaged hands — the startup life wasn't glamorous. But every scratch and sore muscle was a badge of honor.

A Big Moment

Our First Ashley Shipment Arrives

One of our very first Ashley shipments arriving. A milestone that proved we were on the right track — partnering with the biggest names in the industry.

Spring 2022

A Broken Window & A New Beginning

While getting a window repaired, we saw our future Santa Ana store listed "For Lease." Sometimes the universe puts opportunities right in front of you.

May 15, 2022

Signed, Sealed, Renovating Again

Not even a month later, we signed the lease and started renovating again. By now, we were pros at turning empty spaces into something beautiful.

Grand Opening

Santa Ana — The Beginning of Our Next Chapter

The ribbon was cut, the doors were open, and a new chapter of Ornate Home had officially begun. From a van to a flagship store — the dream was becoming reality.

Winter 2025

Charlotte, NC — A New Chapter on the East Coast

And then came the moment we'd been dreaming about since day one: going coast to coast. When we opened our Charlotte showroom, it wasn't just a new location — it was proof that two friends from California could build something that resonated far beyond their own backyard. From a borrowed truck in LA to a brand-new showroom in North Carolina, the journey still feels surreal. But if there's one thing we've learned, it's this: great furniture and honest service don't have a zip code. Charlotte, we're glad to be here — and we're just getting started.

What We Believe

We built Ornate Home on one simple belief: everyone deserves to feel at home — fast. That meant no more six-month shipping times. No snooty showrooms. No confusing prices. Just beautifully made furniture, at honest prices, with delivery that actually works around your life.
Along the way, we've served more than 50,000 customers — families decorating their first apartment, celebrities furnishing their guest houses, and everyone in between. Some of them hugged us. Some of them fed us. All of them reminded us why we started.

"We weren't just delivering furniture — we were delivering comfort, dignity, and something to believe in."

— Mehmet & Ozzie

When It Mattered Most

And when our community needed us most, we showed up the only way we knew how — by helping people rebuild their homes. After the devastating Los Angeles fires, we donated furniture to families who had lost everything. Because that's what home means to us.

"Ornate Home isn't just a company. It's a love letter to the American dream — written in assembly instructions, delivery routes, and thousands of living rooms across the country."

— Mehmet & Ozzie
