Io sono un autarchico
If you could move in this shoe-box-sized shop you would probably enjoy browsing through the bric-a-brac. As it is you have to make way practically every time someone new enters. Still, the shelves are heaving with weird and wonderful household items and it's a friendly place. The shop's name is a reference to a film by Roman director Nanni Moretti.

Archivia
Muted is not in the vocabulary of Archivia, with its bright mix of modern homewares. The Italian and French designs are made to stand out: minimalists should give it a wide berth; others should expect plenty of plastic tableware in primary colours, modern lamps, garish mirrors and loud picture frames.

Modiglioni
Upper-class Romans flock to Modiglioni for its high-class homewares, including unusual pieces such as oversized ceramic chickens. Besides chickens, it stocks the best in Italian design, from classic Murano glassware to sleek Alessi steel, as well as Wedgewood plates and Danish porcelain.

La Chiave
La Chiave is one of Rome's best shops for ethnic bits and pieces (ceramics, furniture, hammocks, paper lanterns and so on). Just off Largo di Torre Argentina, it's reasonably priced and ideal if you're on a gift hunt.

Rap
This street is home to some idiosyncratic artist studios. Pick up an offbeat chicken-legged table by children's book author and artist Chiara Rapaccini at this shop.
