These stores are like a cross between IKEA and HomeGoods, and while it takes a bit of hunting, the prices are unbeatable.

You’ll be surprised at the hidden gems you’ll find in these aisles!" — Kevin O'Gara, founder of Kevin Francis Design

One of my favorite places to look is Zara Home. Their items are unique and do not stay on the website long, keeping them unique. They have everything from vases to upholstered furniture. Similar to their clothing line, the items have a high end designer look for a budget friendly price." — Alexis Warren, founder of Alexis Warren Designs
