Napa Home & Garden celebrates 25 years

Napa Home & Garden announced it will celebrate its 25th anniversary this January, with a year-long celebration that highlights its milestones and honors its most loyal and long-standing customers.

The company will kick off the celebration with over 475 new introductions at January markets, including a new collaboration with lifestyle designer Barclay Butera. A special celebration in Atlanta this January will include a showroom party and a live Q&A session with founder and chairman KC Cunningham.

Founded in Napa, California, by KC and Jerry Cunningham, Napa Home & Garden was built on KC’s love of gardening and her affinity for elegant living. In 2000, they first opened showrooms in Atlanta, Dallas, New York and High Point markets, with an emphasis on garden. In 2004, they introduced Fibreclay planters, solidifying Napa’s position in the outdoor space. 

Driven by KC’s passion for home decor, they expanded their offerings to Italian ceramic masterworks, woven goods in Burma rattan and, soon after, were the first wholesaler to introduce real preserved boxwoods at market. In 2009, they made their way into the lighting and pendant category, and it was in 2015 that they added their signature floral drop-ins.

Napa was the first to introduce hand-crafted orchids and ferns, many of which continue to be top sellers at every market. Italian tableware and garden pots by Wakefield Handmade made their debut in 2014, and Napa Home & Garden was a formidable home décor brand.  

“I was never driven by industry norms,” KC Cunningham said. “Jerry would always encourage me to buy what spoke to me, regardless of trends. This was the key to our growth in those initial years.”

The Cunninghams traveled the world to bring an elevated aesthetic at an affordable price point to their customers. They credit the success of their ever-expanding product line to their strong partnerships with many talented vendors, retailers and designers, whom they have always considered good friends.

Throughout 2025, Napa will honor some of its long-time customers with testimonials and recollections specific to Napa via social media and on their website.

This special anniversary for Napa coincides with a robust collection of new introductions, including the company’s first-ever tabletop collaboration with  lifestyle designer Barclay Butera. Also making its debut is Alluna, a new line of sixteen cordless LED lamps in an array of designer colors with distinctive empire shades in linen and metal, and a round charging station base. The company also is introducing new European flax fiber woven pillows in floral and striped patterns and colors, mango wood accent furniture pieces and large-scale LED solar lanterns in both modern and traditional silhouettes.
