In 2012, Heidi Woodman operated a clothing and home shop with her business partner on the corner of Kessler and College. She dreamed of running a store in the building across the street that she always admired. It just so happened in 2013, that her business partnership was dissolving and a “For Lease” sign appeared on her dream building. She was scared to start a new business but is a big believer in following her passion. She decided to take the risk and open Haus Love Interiors.

Haus Love is a retail store with a mission to create thoughtful, beautiful interiors that meet their clients’ aesthetic, functional and economic goals while honoring and celebrating the buildings that contain them. The store features furniture made in the US, antiques, vintage items and art. Their upholstered furniture is all made in the US.

“The fact that this furniture is made in the U.S. is very important to me,” Woodman says. “The quality is so much better, and I try as much as possible to support things made in the U.S. and anything handmade. I have always been drawn to the handmade, it has a soul.”

Woodman started helping her customers with design needs in their homes and that part of the business has grown immensely. They now have a design staff and an employee who does renderings. Their approach is flexible and responsive. They work with some clients who have a strong vision, and they help them achieve it. Other clients are less sure, and they guide them through the design process, helping them formulate their own aesthetic.

“It’s so much fun, I absolutely love it,” she says. “This just never feels like work to me.”

Woodman is an Indianapolis native and her mother is from Germany. As a family, they traveled quite a bit, which influenced Woodman’s design aesthetic and passion.

“German design is amazing,” she says. “It’s funky. You’ll see a home that is super modern but they’ll throw in several vintage pieces. I love that combination. It makes that purist-modern-look more approachable.”

Haus Love is not a cookie cutter store, everything is very curated. The store and design aesthetic has been very well received by the community. Being located near several residential areas makes it easy for folks to wander in.

“People will come in and stay for a couple of hours,” Woodman says. “They will sit down and have a cup of coffee with us and they become our friends. We hear all the time, ‘I just had to come in to get happy.’ I just love to hear that.”

Recently, Haus Love had a flea market sale in July. A huge tent was set up in front of the store, and they sold everything from their warehouse. A portion of the proceeds was donated to Type 1 Diabetes Research.
