About Us
Let your home be a place the soul tells its story...
Welcome to Alhambra - Soul Inspired Living, where your home becomes a reflection of your soul’s journey. Nestled in the heart of Taos, New Mexico, our store is a sanctuary of artistry, craftsmanship, and global heritage.
We specialize in exotic, hand-selected furniture, rugs, and décor sourced from the rich tribal cultures of the regions of India, Morocco, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Each piece tells a story—woven, carved, and crafted by skilled artisans whose traditions have been passed down for generations. Whether it’s a hand-knotted wool rug, a vintage wooden cabinet, or a one-of-a-kind textile, we believe in bringing you timeless pieces that evoke beauty, warmth, and meaning.
Alhambra is more than a store—it’s a design destination. Owner Tess Jessop, an interior designer with 38 years of experience, brings her passion for soulful, layered interiors to every piece she selects. Whether you need guidance in curating a single statement piece or a full home transformation, Tess offers personalized design services to help you create a space that is both stunning and deeply meaningful.
At Alhambra, we embrace the idea that home is more than a space—it’s a feeling. It’s where memories are made, where cultures meet, and where your soul feels at ease. Our passion is helping you create a home that feels as rich, layered, and inspired as life itself.

I bought a beautiful hand woven rug here. There is lots of tempting merchandise to choose from at reasonable prices. The owner is very nice and shipped my item in a fast and efficient manner. I will definitely stop by next time I am in Taos!
