Furnishing a Life of Style

Where personal style meets timeless design—custom furnishings that turn houses into deeply personal homes.

Personal style is so much more than the clothes we wear or the way we style our hair. It’s how we carry ourselves, how we gather, how we rest—and most of all, how we live. Style should shine through in every area of life, including the spaces we call home. Because when a home is furnished with care and intention, it becomes a true extension of who we are.

That belief has shaped everything at Helm, a local, family-owned custom furniture and interior design store that’s been helping Utahns furnish their dream homes since 1976. For nearly five decades, Helm has partnered with homeowners, builders, and designers across the state to create environments that feel beautifully personal, refined, and deeply livable.

Step inside Helm’s 30,000-square-foot showroom on State Street in Murray, and you’ll quickly sense the difference. This isn’t just a store—it’s a curated experience. Every piece on the floor has been selected not just for how it looks, but for how it feels and functions in a real home. From classic to contemporary, warm neutrals to bold statements, each item reflects Helm’s core belief: style starts with soul.

“For us, furniture isn’t a commodity,” says Chris Ross, Helm’s owner. “It’s a way to carry a person’s unique style into their home and create spaces that feel intentional, collected, and completely one-of-a-kind.”

That unique approach has earned Helm its reputation as Utah’s go-to destination for high-end, high-style furnishings. Their in-house designers work closely with clients to find the perfect pieces—or design them from scratch. With access to a vast network of premium vendors like Baker, Century, Bernhardt, Hickory Chair, Lexington, and Massoud, Helm can deliver a curated mix of quality, comfort, and custom fit.

And in today’s age of online shopping and impersonal service, Helm offers something refreshingly tactile: the opportunity to see, touch, sit, and truly experience a piece before it enters your home. If something in the showroom isn’t quite right, their team can help you customize everything—from wood tones and finishes to fabric choices, sizes, and silhouettes.

Whether you’re furnishing a single room or sourcing every last rug, light fixture, and piece of art for a new build, Helm brings the vision, logistics, and craftsmanship to make it happen. They even handle the warehousing and delivery coordination that complex, whole-home projects require.

At its core, Helm is more than a furniture store—it’s a style partner, a design studio, and a trusted resource for homeowners who want to live beautifully. When your home reflects your true self, every day feels a little more grounded. A little more you.

That’s the magic Helm brings home.

Today, people want houses to be more than just comfortable places to live. They want their homes to reflect their personal styles while providing a sense of luxury.
