Curating Spaces, Enhancing Everyday living
Onyx + Anchor is a lifestyle and design studio rooted in Wilmington, North Carolina, dedicated to creating intentional spaces and soulful experiences. We believe your home should be a reflection of who you are—a sanctuary that nurtures your well-being, supports your rhythms, and tells your story.
Through personalized home organization, curated tablescapes, and holistic design services, we help you reconnect to what matters most: beauty, meaning, and ease. Whether you're designing a space to gather or refining the quiet corners of your daily life, our approach is thoughtful, sustainable, and deeply personal.
At Onyx + Anchor, we don’t just style homes—we create environments that ground, inspire, and restore.
