Shop quiz! Bright insight into Abat-Jour Interiors

William Evans, owner of Abat-Jour.

Bonjour! Wait sorry, we mean … hello. After chatting with William Evans, owner and operator of Abat-Jour Interiors (French for “lampshade”), we are in the French spirit.

Evans has been in the lamp and lighting business since 1991. And while Abat-Jour also offers antiques, wall art, and furnishings, lighting is where his firm shines brightest.

From custom light fixtures (like the instrumental piece created for a musician’s office in the Instagram post below) to chandelier cleaning, Abat-Jour truly specializes in lighting and lighting care.

Keep reading for all the details on the business in the Q&A with Evans.


What was your reason for opening the store? When did it open, and how has it grown or changed since then?

We opened our interior design store in 2001 with a passion for helping people create beautiful and functional living spaces. Over time, we noticed a growing demand for specialized services, which led us to lamp repair and custom picture framing. By listening to our customers’ needs and continually enhancing our offerings, we’ve grown to provide a more comprehensive range of services to better serve our community.
