Your home is your personal sanctuary, so it's important to design it in a way that suits your style (and needs) best. While finding a comfortable couch and stylish dining table may seem simple, the real magic is in the decorative details.
Whether you love a glam look or want to create a calming oasis, there are several retailers that make it easy to find the perfect pieces to finish your space. From vintage to modern and everything in between, we researched the best places to buy home decor and evaluated them based on their affordability, delivery options, inventory size, aesthetics, and business practices. Our top picks include direct-to-consumer model Parachute, contemporary and stylish CB2, and Wayfair, which has a diverse range of products at a friendly price,
Here, the best places to buy home decor.
Wayfair
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/ScreenShot2022-06-07at11.52.39AM-31b9c4fa6ba840bcb826fbfe948d68f1.png)
Wayfair
Budget-friendly
Diverse inventory
High quality products
Confusing product assembly instructions
Shipping delays
Wayfair should be your go-to shop when you want to shave a bit off your budget. From headboards and lighting to outdoor furniture and rugs—plus almost anything else you can think of—Wayfair has it. Many of their pieces have the look of designer furniture available at a fraction of the cost, and the retailer almost always has a big sale going on. Some of our favorite pieces from Wayfair are the Bungalow Rose Oriental Handmade Tufted Wool Area Rug, which has a durable backing, attractive design, and is made of thick material, and the Lark Manor Raspberry Rolled Arm Sofa Bed, which is made from genuine leather upholstery and features a decently supportive mattress. In testing, we especially enjoyed the high end look of the Lark Manor sofa bed, which completely disguises its secondary purpose as a pull-out sleeping spot.
You can find Wayfair products nestled into practically every roundup in our home decor section. Keep in mind that certain products from Wayfair may take longer to ship, especially items from their custom upholstery line, or larger items like mattresses and closet systems. In addition to home decor, Wayfair is a great place to shop for major appliance brands Whirlpool, Café, and LG.
“Wayfair offers free in-home delivery for this sectional [the Inifini Furnishings Reversible Sectional Sofa], and it usually ships in 24 hours. Assembly can be added for an additional price…”

Anthropologie

Anthropologie
Eclectic, maximalist pieces

Larger products have very high price tags
You may know Anthropologie for their clothing and accessories, but don't miss out on their home decor assortment. From bedding and rugs to decorative accents, there’s plenty of decor to choose from—all of which offer a whimsical, fun, and stylish touch to your space. While large furniture pieces come with a higher price tag, you can find smaller budget-friendly decor as well.
Some of our favorite products from Anthropologie include the Audrina Woven Leather Mirror, the Nifty Napkins, and the Moroccan Wedding Pouf. Anthropolgie’s products are often made with high quality materials and have the appearance of handmade designs. Their Kalle Sculptural Oak Bookshelf is a great solid wood bookshelf option with a unique design, plus white-glove delivery is available.
CB2
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/CB2NovoAcrylictray-2098273ccae74deaaced766dc160848f.jpg)
CB2
More affordable than Crate & Barrel
Modern design
Generous return policy
Limited U.S. locations
The younger sibling of Crate & Barrel, CB2 is truly just a touch less traditional and slightly more affordable than the original brand. You'll find plenty of covetable furniture, but you'll also love their smaller household essential items like flatware, barware, bath linens, and small giftable items. In addition to the quality of their products, they also offer a generous 90 day return policy on all non-furniture items.
The CB2 Novo Acrylic Folding Table stands out as one of our favorite products for its impressive craftsmanship and stylish appearance that could easily serve as a permanent piece of furniture in your home. Looking for a chic, modern, minimalist bathroom accessories set? Check out the CB2 White Rubber Coated Bath Accessories.
IKEA

IKEA
Affordable pieces
Minimalist design
Large inventory
Expensive shipping on large items
Vague or confusing assembly instructions
IKEA’s iconic affordable approach to Swedish minimalism continues to be a popular choice for first-time homeowners and renters. Whether you shop online to browse their expansive inventory or visit one of their stores—with a side of Swedish meatballs at the end—you won’t leave empty-handed or disappointed in your experience. Just beware that shipping can be expensive for big-ticket items like beds and furniture.
It’s also important to note that most of IKEA’s furniture pieces require assembly, and the directions can be confusing. The FADO Table Lamp with LED Bulb is a great bedside table lamp option if you’re looking for soft lighting with a minimalist design. A toggle switch on the cord makes it easy to turn on and off when you’re ready to wind down for bed.

While Article doesn't have the largest selection online, their direct-to-consumer model that offers affordable, modern home decor is worthy of mention. Article is especially well-known for their couches, in materials ranging from plush velvet to sleek leather. Their Sven sofa is easy to assemble, plus its deep cushion and 88-inch-long option is great for lounging comfortably.
But don't miss Article's other offerings—their nightstands, console tables, outdoor furniture, and accent chairs are also worth browsing. The Article Natica Gray Rug is a great indoor-outdoor rug that would fit under a bistro dining table or accent any seating area. It’s made from eco-friendly materials and is also stain and weather-resistant.

Though they’re a splurge in most categories, their dreamy furniture, rugs, and decorative pieces are worth the investment.

If you’re looking to upgrade your decorative pillow game, the Arlo Linen Pillow is filled with down feathers and includes an invisible zipper on the linen cover for a well-designed and luxurious finish. Although it’s more expensive than other pillows, the linen cover and down filling make it a worthy splurge.
Pottery Barn

Expensive
Another member of the Williams-Sonoma brand family, Pottery Barn has been furnishing homes across the U.S. for over 70 years.

In addition to offering a variety of quality-made products, Pottery Barn also has an experienced team of designers that give free consultations to work with customers on bringing their personal vision to life.
One of our home testers tried out the Pottery Barn Faux Alpaca Throw and its appreciated its light weight and soft texture. However, she did note that it was difficult to dry and that it wasn’t quite large enough to use as a full body blanket. As with most of Pottery Barn’s inventory, you also pay a hefty price for the brand’s name and reputation.
Design Within Reach

If you thought the in-store experience of shopping at Target goes unmatched, then consider browsing the home decor on Target's website.

With in-house brands like Project 62 and Threshold, you can find tons of on-trend accessories to complete any decor vision.
The picture frame section of Target is especially convenient not only for its variety but also for its cost effective options. Lydia Salazar, the Instagrammer behind @everyday_home, says she loves the Target Thin Gallery Frame with Mat because it’s perfect for a small or large gallery wall and looks high end even though it's available at a fraction of the price of professional framing.

The Citizenry
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TheCitizenry_stonewashedsheets-23ec8a40d4e545d6a9288fb1e36dc6cc.jpg)
The Citizenry
Guaranteed Fair Trade of all their products
Unique, well-crafted goods
58% female artisan entrepreneurs
Expensive
The Citizenry was founded with the hope of connecting consumers with quality products sourced from across the globe. Every collection at The Citizenry is made in collaboration with small business owners all over the world, and 58 percent of the entrepreneurs that collaborate with The Citizenry are female artisans. The Citizenry is also the first home retailer to have 100 percent of its products made with a fair-trade process audited and guaranteed by the World Fair Trade Organization.
If you’re in the market for splurging on a new set of linen sheets, The Citizenry’s Stonewashed Linen Sheet Set is crafted in Portugal with 100 percent French flax that’s Oeko-Tex certified. The set’s stonewash grade means that it’s exceptionally soft and it’s also moisture-wicking so you can sleep comfortably even on warm nights. Be aware that these sheets aren’t available in a twin size.
One Kings Lane
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/OneKingsLane_MoroccanWhimsyWallpaper-7c05b00878fe4620962dd12401c55371.jpg)
One Kings Lane
Vintage items available
Diverse styles in inventory
Frequent sales
No price adjustments
There are so many ways to shop at One Kings Lane. You can browse online by themes like Parisian Chic, American Classic, or Hotel Luxe, as well as search by room, brand, or the more traditional way: items and groupings. Along with stylish new items, One Kings Lane also carries an impressive variety of vintage pieces.
Although One Kings Lane does offer frequent sales, they do not accommodate price adjustments on sale items that you may have purchased prior to their price drop. We’re particularly fond of the Moroccan Whimsy Wallpaper in Greenwich Green and White because of its quality and sustainable materials. It’s also available in several other color combinations.
West Elm
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/WestElmRattanBaskets-1fe447fe940546128996cbc9ffc1fdb5.jpg)
West Elm
High quality products offered at reasonable prices
Sustainable options available
Delivery and in-store pickup
Some back-ordered products can take months to arrive
Pricier than competitors
For furniture with a mid-century modern look, West Elm should be your go-to. Along with keep-forever furniture pieces, West Elm also carries high-quality bed linens and statement-making lighting, much of which features exposed bulbs and brass fixtures. Our favorite products include the 400-Thread-Count Organic Cotton Percale Sheet Set, the Cotton Canvas Pouf, and the Modern Weave Rattan Harvest Basket.
We also love that West Elm is a vendor for several small businesses. If mid-century modern design isn’t your taste, then West Elm may not be the best home decor brand for you. West Elm also has sales throughout the year and often offers free shipping if you keep an eye on deals.
What to Look for in Home Decor
Price
Home decor is offered at a wide range of prices. In some cases, it can be sold affordably, but in other instances, pieces may be more of an investment. You will want to determine what items you need for your home right away and what items make sense to save up for over time, as purchasing decorative objects for an entire home can be quite pricey, no matter where you shop.
Style
Do you prefer glam accents, or is your style more boho? Are you a minimalist or a maximalist? Determining your personal style is a key component to shopping for home decor. You will want to go into your search with a clear sense of your aesthetic and decorating goals so that you don't end up wasting money on items that you'll tire of a few months down the line.
Lead Time
While some home decor websites can ship furniture and accents within just a few days, others require several weeks of lead time—if not longer. Consider how quickly you will need your items and how long you are willing to wait for pieces, even if they are not essentials.
Material
Home decor can be made from plastic, or it might be quite fragile. If you have young children or host guests frequently, you may wish to opt for pieces that aren't so precious. If you live alone and take good care of your belongings, go ahead and purchase that delicate vase or sculpture.
