For anyone in a Chicago apartment, whether it be a Ravenswood Manor manse, a West Loop loft or a teeny weeny Lincoln Park dollhouse, the one requirement for all of our living spaces is style. And at times shopping for cute, efficient and versatile furniture or accessories can be a challenge. Lucky for us, Chicago is one of the richest cities in the world when it comes to home stores.

Today, for the very first time ever we've mapped out 38 of our favorites, including the high end design showrooms like Haute Living and Branca to niche and specialty shops like Paperish Mess and Neighborly that help take Chicago living to new heights.

Did we miss one of your favorites? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section or drop us a line and we'll give it careful consideration for the next update.
