Personalized Design.
Elevated Service.
For more than 70 years, Big Sandy Superstore has been furnishing homes across Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and beyond — a family-built, employee-owned business where showing up for our community has always come first. Living Inspired is where that same care meets a higher standard of design.
Housed in our Dublin, Ohio showroom, Living Inspired pairs you with a dedicated designer for personalized, one-on-one guidance building mood boards, renderings, and a plan built around your actual space. We've partnered with sought-after furniture makers to bring in pieces made for luxury and longevity, and our support doesn't end at delivery: our designers stay on for styling help long after your new pieces are in place.
It's the same local, real-people approach Big Sandy has built for over seven decades — just elevated for the rooms you're proudest of.
Design Fee
A truly personalized design experience is complimentary when you furnish with us — because vision like that shouldn't come with a price tag.
Our History
Living Inspired carries seven decades of craftsmanship into every room we design.
Employee-Owned
Every Living Inspired designer has an actual stake in Big Sandy Superstore — so the advice you get is aimed at getting your home right, not hitting a sales target.
Real People
Your designer isn't a chat bot or a name that changes with every order. They're the same person who has been with you since the beginning.
