Southern Housepitality built its business on a simple idea: gently used furniture deserves a second showroom, not a landfill. Since opening a 7,500-square-foot space at 110 Mauldin Road in Greenville, South Carolina back in 2006, the consignment store has grown into one of the Upstates go-to spots for upscale secondhand furniture and home decor, drawing on a network of more than 7,000 consignors who supply everything from sofas and dining sets to artwork, mirrors, rugs, and lighting fixtures. The style range runs from traditional to modern, so shoppers furnishing a historic Greenville bungalow and shoppers decorating a downtown loft can both find pieces that fit.
The shop is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m., and reaching the team ahead of a visit is as simple as calling 864-299-0045 or emailing info@sohogreenville.com. Because the inventory is entirely consignment-based and changes constantly as new pieces arrive and sell, no two visits to the showroom look the same, which is part of the appeal for shoppers who treat a stop at Southern Housepitality as a regular hunt for a specific missing piece rather than a one-time errand.
What distinguishes Southern Housepitality from a typical furniture consignment shop is its approval-based purchase process: customers who find a piece they are interested in can take it home on a 24-hour trial before committing, a policy uncommon in secondhand furniture retail where sales are usually final on the spot. The shop also handles the pricing and staging work for consignors, so anyone hoping to sell furniture simply emails photos to info@sohogreenville.com, receives a response within about 48 hours, and then either drops the piece off or schedules a pickup. Accepted items are professionally priced, displayed on the showroom floor, and marked down progressively over a 120-day consignment window, with consignors earning half of the final sale price and receiving payment on the 11th of the following month. Anything unsold after 120 days has a ten-day grace period for pickup before the shop moves it along, keeping the floor turning over and the selection fresh.
For customers who need a larger item brought home rather than hauled in a personal vehicle, Southern Housepitality offers delivery starting at 100 dollars within a 10-mile radius, with an additional charge of 5 dollars per mile beyond that, making it practical for buyers throughout Greenville, Mauldin, and the surrounding Upstate to furnish a room without renting a truck. The consignment split, free setup with no upfront costs to sellers, and sustainability angle, giving furniture and decor a second life instead of adding to landfill waste, have helped the shop build a loyal base of both consignors and repeat shoppers over nearly two decades in business.
Since 2006, Southern Housepitality has operated as an upscale furniture and home decor consignment showroom on Mauldin Road in Greenville, South Carolina, pairing a 7,000-plus consignor network and a 24-hour approval policy with an ever-changing selection that ranges from traditional to modern styles at a fraction of new-retail prices.
