Rock This Way

Rckndy Opens

You really love candy. (Who doesn’t?)

But the calories aren’t helping out your muffin top (or your back fat).

So for a sugar-free treat, head to Rckndy (pronounced rock candy), the brand new home store that just opened on U Street.

The shop focuses on modern design with lighting, textiles, tableware, furniture, and accessories — all in an accessible and airy space decorated with a huge pink and marble candy counter.

You’ll want to fill up on graphic print bedding from Plush Living and brightly patterned silk pillows by Thomas Paul. Indulge guilt free with affordable laminated dining tables from Blu Dot and Gus Modern custom upholstered sofas (that ship in just two to three weeks). And satisfy your cravings for something sweet with glossy design books from Assouline, trays by French company Idibre, and tableware from Mud Australia.

It’ll become your go-to for gifts or something to freshen up your own place.

And you won’t have to worry about gaining anything except compliments.

Rckndy, 1515 U Street NW, between 15th and 16th Streets (202-332-5639).
