Bon Maison is the ultimate destination spot for the serious Francophile and those just looking for the perfect gift or home accessory. Located on Chelsea's 9th Avenue (at 19th street), Bon-Maison is part of the growing trend of French retail and restaurants in the neighborhood.

Nestled in a charming yellow brownstone, Bon Maison’s bay window draws you in past a black wrought iron fence. Passing through the front door is like stepping into a picturesque French cottage, complete with a rustic barn wood floor, candle chandeliers and antiqued garden gates.

The essence of Bon Maison is “French country”. Items range from French farmhouse furniture and tabletop to delicate hand-etched glass pieces, hard-milled soaps from one of the oldest soap-making families in Provence, intoxicating candles and hand embroidered linens.

Other standout items include a variety of French cafe plates and glasses, Seda France candles, Bon Maison signature collection candles and limited edition framed botanical prints. A perfect spot for host and hostess gifts, Bon Maison boasts a beautiful selection of French dishtowels in an array of colors and designs, fragrant soaps which are hand wrapped exclusively for the store, as well as special glassware items such as a “verre d’amitie” which means “glass of friendship”. Also interspersed throughout the store are one-of-a-kind vintage pieces specially selected by the owners during travels to the renowned flea markets outside of Paris.

Bon Maison is merchandised in a series of vignettes meant to evoke the atmosphere of an authentic French country home. The result is unfussy elegance with an emphasis on affordability. While a large portion of the inventory is imported from France, other items which embody a French sensibility or are French inspired are made domestically or are brought in from other parts of Europe, a decision the owners made in order to keep prices down. “We wanted to create a French country aesthetic that can translate effortlessly in a New York apartment or country house while remaining reasonably priced so it’s accessible to all,” says owner Christian. “We want people to feel like they’ve traveled through France and picked up some special souvenirs along the way.”
