New Gift and Home Décor Shop Brings Personal Touch to Fallon

A passion for home décor, a lack of storage space, and a desire to offer something unique to the community led Starr Austin to open Fallon Home Décor & More this spring.

Located at 182 Industrial Way, the new gift and décor boutique shares a building with Nevada Floor and Carpeting and features a diverse collection of items, from western-themed wall art and beachy accents to hunting lodge flair and children’s crafts.

“I ran out of room at home, and I was tired of having to drive to Reno just to get gifts or find home décor,” said Austin. “So, I decided Fallon needed a place where you could find something different, something personal.”

More than just a retail space, Fallon Home Décor & More also serves as a showcase for local artists. “I really wanted a place where local creatives could bring in their work and be seen,” she said.

Each item in the shop is handpicked by Austin with a specific inspiration in mind. “Everything in here kind of has a tie to someone in my life,” she explained. “If I see something and it makes me think of a person I know—and nobody else in town is selling it, I bring it in.”

Austin has organized the store into themed areas, including western, beach, hunting, and country styles. New additions include a corner stocked with art supplies and trinkets for kids, strategically placed to keep little hands busy while parents browse.

Even the shop’s display pieces, tables, bookshelves and end stands are for sale, and Austin has plans to expand the furniture offerings in the near future. “We’re hoping to start bringing in modular couches, lamps, and other home furnishings to give Fallon another furniture option,” she said. “Right now, we really only have one place for that.”

Fallon Home Décor & More is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Beginning June 28, Saturday hours will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Austin runs the shop with help from her daughter, Michelle Jarschke, and together they’ve created a space that feels more like home than just another store. “It’s all about finding something meaningful,” said Austin. “That’s what makes it special.”
