Way back when, Third & Main launched as the very first seasonal home decor subscription box (modern farmhouse, a bestseller to this day!). It was a thrilling experience, even as the market became more and more crowded, with new companies hopping on the bandwagon and, in some cases, churning out pretty low-quality boxes! Fast forward to 2025 (wowza), and it’s not unreasonable to wonder, are home decor subscription boxes still a thing? Yes! And… no. Let’s discuss.
An Exploding Market
When Third & Main got its start, subscription boxes of any kind were the domain of small brands. But the subscription model worked so well, companies rushed to capitalize. That was true across the subscription box scene as a whole, but the home decor segment in particular became really saturated with niche boxes that appealed to specific design preferences. As the market changed, so did Third & Main, introducing new boxes aimed at fans of contemporary, modern traditional and ultra high-end styles and offering quarterly and even semi-annual subscriptions. But more and more, we heard from members who wanted a little more control over when their seasonal home decor box arrived. And honestly, it makes sense! So, we pivoted. And guys, it’s working out so well.
Your Favorite Home Decor Box, Minus the Subscription
Third & Main has gone subscription-less. We’re offering the same quarterly and semi-annual boxes you adore, but each one is sold as a one-time purchase and we give you a handy heads-up in time to order one. That means you aren’t locked into home decor boxes indefinitely (because let’s be honest, you always forget to cancel and then another box shows up), making each Third & Main delivery truly special and wanted. Instead of opting out, you get to opt in as it suits you, minimizing waste and general irritation and making this an entirely commitment-free relationship. You choose what you want when you want it. Easy peasy!
It’s a tidy workaround to the biggest problem of any subscription box—too much stuff. With home decor especially, there’s a fine line between “cozy” and “cluttered,” and you really can have too much of a good thing. Actually, that was our motivation for launching Revive Decor, our marketplace for previously loved and fabulously cared-for decor items. Just sign up, send us the pieces that you’re ready to pass along, and we’ll stage them for sale. Then, at the end of each month, you get a gift card for the value of your sold items.
So, Are Home Decor Box Subscription Still A Thing?
If you’re locked into a home decor box subscription, just know there’s a better way! Here at Third & Main, we make it easy to get only what you want, only when you want it. As a member, you’re notified of new boxes as we release them, but we aren’t automatically billing you and sending them your way. We do that only with your say-so, making each and every Third & Main home decor box you receive absolutely worth it. Call it the home decor box subscription of the modern era!
