The Goods
Bold, Marimekko-inspired fabrics, upholstered furniture, one-of-a-kind lampshades and more, by Los Angeles designer Paula Smail.

The SecretHenry Road's ecclectic mix of textiles are designed by owner Paula Smail, who named the shop after a street she grew up on in South Africa. The fabrics -- used to reupholster one-of-a-kind vintage furniture pieces, throw pillows, table linens and other home goods -- are also sold by the yard. Smail can even reupholster pieces you already own. Her handmade lampshades, chandeliers and mobiles (above) are designed in-house using fabric remnants and Victorian shades.
Things to Know
You can buy (and custom order) Henry Road's colorful wares online or at their Los Angeles shop, or at one of the retailers listed in the "Stockist" section of their website. Lampshades are only available in store, where they also feature (and sell) the work of a new local artist every four months.
