I shopped at Crate & Barrel for the first time and saw how the brand's quiet luxury is boosting sales

• I shopped at Crate & Barrel for the first time at the brand's new Flatiron location.
• The store features a Design Desk with 30 staff members offering design consultations.
• With elevated basics in neutral colors, the store is nailing quiet luxury.

With a 23% increase in sales during the company's last fiscal year, Forbes reported, Crate & Barrel's housewares are in high demand.
