Willa Home

I originally entered this store because my beautiful niece is named Willa and I had to see what was inside. What a cute store with cute home items. I love all the French items!

Adorable little shop in downtown Burlingame! Friendly, knowledgeable staff. The store is fresh, lovely and packed with items around every corner. I could spend hours inside carefully looking through all the details. Willa Home is the perfect place for finding that special gift!
Some of my favorites are the gorgeous jewelry lines and beautiful cards. If you like mirrors, like I LOVE them, they have some that fit into any collection — I know, mirror collections are weird!
Don’t hesitate — check it out!

Ohhh they always have cute things here. Soaps candles jewelry furnishing. Considering all the chains on Burlingame ave it’s very refreshing to have an independently owned store with great unique products. I have been meaning to get in there and pick up some Jaliska products. (I totally spelled that wrong).

Willa Home on Burlingame Avenue is the perfect place to shop if you admire the finer things in life. Willa Home sells simple yet elegant furniture, their stock of candles and lotions are amazing, and the jewelery is beautiful. Stop by this charming home boutique and you are sure to find something to brighten up your home and life! The new management and staff are so helpful and are knowledgable about everything in the store! I highly recommend this store to anyone who wants something special and unique!

There are so many great things to be said about Willa. From their little items to their large furniture items there selection is absolutely wonderful. With new ownership (and helpful staff) it is has home décor pieces that are so cute and unique. This is a really good spot to browse around in as the items are picked perfectly and anyone can find something to fall in love with. By far my favorite spot on Burlingame Ave!!! I highly recommend making a stop and chances are you will find something to fit your home. I know I have!

Best place to get a unique, well priced gift for home. My best friend just bought a house and i was looking to buy something practical and beautiful for her. i had a certain budget in mind. The customer service is definitely 5 stars. they worked with my budget and gave me many ideas without pushing for sale. My friend loved the present and even came to the store to get more stuff. it made me happy.

I love my sister in laws and whenever I need to find that unique and stylish gift for them, Willa Home is the place I find myself wandering in for that perfect gift.

I have been a huge fan of Willa ever since I found the original location in Noe Valley years ago. Then the owner moved to Burlingame, and I started making the trek there. Now this location is #3, and it is amazing too. There is a nice mix of vintage and new items, including amazing jewelry by Heather Moore. She makes dainty gold necklaces with little disks that you get engraved with names of your kids or other dates that are important in your life. I’ve seen 3 women who have them, and every one is just beautiful. So going to Willa turns out to be a surprise every time! Definitely a must-​go on the Peninsula, and not far from the SFO if you have to pick somebody up there.

On my first trip to Burlingame, I went Willa Home and couldn’t have been happier with my visit. The shop is in an amazing loft-​like space and filled with so much to see. Everywhere you turn there’s something beautiful to look at. They carry a great selection of vintage and modern merchandise, a great mix of new and old for your home, including furniture, artwork, glassware, silver, lamps, and decorative accessories to name a few, and they also carry a great selection smaller gift items like jewelry and candles. Also, the women who work there are super friendly and know their stuff! I look forward to going back again soon!

All my senses are satisfied as soon as I walk in this beautiful store. Elena the owner really knows how to create an ambience. Whether your looking for a housewarming gift or a special something for yourself, you will find it here. All I can say is indulge and spoil yourself with the many temptations Willa Home has to offer.

I love Willa Home. I’ve been going there for gifts since they were in Noe Valley 7 years ago and still luckily I followed them to Burlingame. I find the best gifts there and now have them managing my bridal registry! Catherine has been great to work with on that and I’m happy to give them the business versus some mega store. UPDATE: I still love this place, but they have lost a lot of the stuff I knew and liked and they did not do the best job of managing my registry. I think they may be too small to handle something so complex. Also, they are carrying mostly vintage stuff now which I like, but I also miss some of the old lines.

I adore this little shop on Burlingame Ave! I can, and have, spent a pretty penny on various items in this lovely little shop only to receive infinite complements on my home décor. This is the perfect little spot for unique, hand-​made, well-​thought gift for any woman in your life. The owner of the shop is so sweet… she even let me borrow an item I was eyeing when I couldn’t decide if it would look just perfect in my home. Needless to say, I ended up buying the cute little rug. Every time I stop in I end up finding something I absolutely «need!» Which is why I’ve limited my visits to once a month.
Definitely worth stopping in if you are Shopping the Avenue!

I love the owner of this store. It is so beautiful in here and there is always something that catches my eye. Today it was there lovely collection of cards which are perfect for handing out to girlfriends for birthdays. Every time I hit Burlingame Ave I go to Willa Home just to see whats new and what is on sale, something always is.

what a cute and unique little gift shop. i come here for the «kai» body glow mist — it’s fabulous! when i don’t have time to make my own cards, which is pretty much the case these days, i will most likely find something here that i like. what i also love are their candles; the beautiful scent permeates and makes my home warm and inviting. a cup of my favorite tea, some candles, a nice book and a lovely throw is something on my calendar at least once a week. it’s «me» time! :)

This is a place to shop if you want the better things in life… yes, you pay the price but sometime it’s worth it… YOU are worth it… I know I AM worth it!
It’s a small space but they packed this place tastefully with a great selection of home items. Go to the back and you’ll be overwhelmed with the fantastic selection of bath items and scented oil and such… fantastic!
Go ahead, splurge and enjoy!

I declare this place… Unique and fun
Selection– wide
Service– excellent
Ambiance– divine
I recently went to Willa to purchase a gift for a housewarming party and found the experience most pleasant.
Like another reviewer, I also was helped by Catherine, or Cathy (?), however I found her to be delightful, knowledgeable, friendly and the type of person I would seek out in order to get good advice.
The items they sell can be a bit pricey, but if you need to get someone that «perfectly unique» gift for the home, then it’s a good bet you’ll find it here!
I ended up buying some very nice bowls and putting a couple of sea urchins in them. They were the hit of the party!

This place has lotion so lovely-​smelling that my hand was permanently glued to my nose all day (the smell actually lasted that long) and I was trying to trick my not-​always-​financially-​responsible-​trigger-​debit-​scanner mind into believing that $ 30 is too much for a bottle of body lotion. Since I’m still obsessing over it, it’s obviously worth it, right? Time to go on «lunch»…
Really, though, the housewares in this store are beautiful (if pricey) and I actually thought the staff was fantastic. The girl I met and chatted with (Ava) even wrapped up the candle I bought as a wedding gift for my cousin for me at no charge and wished me a fun trip home.

Adorable gift shop. Right down the street from Willa Home Furnishings. I’m not big on gift shops. Usually filled with useless crap you could find on your grandma’s nick-​nack shelf, right? Not Willa. I wandered in because of the fab tinsel tree display in the window right now (see West Elm for purchasing tinsel trees). I loved it! Really cute scarves, hats, Hobo handbags, nice lotions, candles, soaps, and a nice selection of baby-​shower type gifts in the back. This is a great place to find hostess gifts for the holiday party circuit.
Update: Went back again for some cute mary jane baby booties (gift) and noticed many cool unique things imported from France. I saw some very pretty and well priced (ie. affordable) necklaces and pins hadmade by a french artisan. I also realized the the chirping noise heard in the store is not a bad nature soundtrack but a live bird in a giant birdcage in the middle of the store. Oh, some great christmas ornaments and pine scented products are in stock right now.

When you have just had enough of the mass produced home items from Crap & Barrel, Blood, Bath & Beyond and Pottery Farm go do some digging at Willa. They have the very best selection of Le Jacquard Francais table linens (the Herms of tablecloths) and the sweetest dishes and serving platters from France & Italy. Willa also has an amazing collection of silver candlesticks some even in antique mercury. My favorite find today was 2 Flirt serving bowls by Pot Luck Studios with ruffled edges in soft yellow and green, the robin’s egg blue platter was pretty too.
Nicole, who’s the manager, was super-​friendly and fun to talk to.
Check her out when you need that special item for your next gathering at home.
By the way, there are 2 Willas on the same block. 1402 & 1414.
Visit both.
