About Nerd Nest

It’s finally happened. The moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived. You’re headed off to your college dormitory. You’re moving into your first apartment. You and your partner just bought your first home.

This place is yours. Yours to fill with a style that fills you with joy, comfort, and familiarity when you trudge through the door after a long day.

This site is here to help you do exactly that. 

A nerd’s ultimate guide to bringing their favorite worlds just a bit closer to home.
