Love IKEA but tired of shopping solely at IKEA? There are many IKEA alternatives that you may or may not have heard of. Today, we are going to take a look at some of these other great furniture stores.

Ikea alternatives

Not all of these furniture stores are the same but they all are favorites of people who like to shop at IKEA. But what these people haven’t always known is that IKEA may be a great store, but it isn’t the only one like it.

Today, we have quite a handful of IKEA alternatives for those branching out. These stores are primarily affordable stores with a variety of furniture that will suit anyone’s needs. So let us take a look together.

Wayfair – the best IKEA Alternative

Wayfair isn’t just one of the best IKEA alternatives but one of the best furniture stores in general. You can find just about anything that you want at Wayfair at absolutely any price. Whether you have a small or large budget.

So of course, if you love IKEA or are looking for something different, then you will love Wayfair. The versatility alone will draw you in but so will the fact that they are super easy to order online from.

CB2

CB2 is a branch of Crate & Barrel that has some of the best modern furniture available. Whereas Crate and Barrel tend to focus on more country or alternative furniture, CB2 has primarily modern furniture.

This is perfect because that’s exactly what IKEA does too. They both prefer to feature modern furniture that is trendy and safe. They are for the average budget, not leaning towards high or low budgets.

MUJI

MUJI is a Japanese company that specializes in minimalism and organization. The store sells everything from stationery to apparel. But they also sell some furniture that you can’t get anywhere else.

Their furniture is clean and smooth, making your space look cleaner and smoother. They don’t have a large variety of options but as their popularity grows, so will their inventory in the furniture department.

Ferm LIVING

If you like IKEA prices but want something that looks even higher-end then check out ferm LIVING. They have all sorts of home decor items that are so easy to fall in love with that you’ll have matching sets in no time.

Their unique style is heavily influenced by Scandinavian design, which is already trending itself. So if you also love Scandanvain design then you will probably have a hard time leaving this store online.

Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters does usually offer everything a college student could want or need, from clothing to dorm furniture, but that’s not all they have. Though their taste is younger than most other stores, they have other options too.

If you have young taste naturally then you will love most of what they have to offer but if you prefer something more traditional, then you may have to go deeper. Still, their prices are good enough that it is worth a look.

World Market

World Market can easily become a favorite of those who are IKEA fans. They have a very large inventory and a very large variety of styles. You will have to know what you are looking for or you may get overwhelmed.

So start by finding out what piece of furniture you want. For example, instead of looking for living room furniture, look for an accent chair. This will get you more detailed results, so try searching this way.

Fab Furniture

Not everyone has heard of Fab Furniture, but it is definitely one to add to your list. Their prices are average but their inventory is unique. You can find things here that you won’t be able to find anywhere else.

One unique category at Fab that other stores don’t have is headboards. They don’t just have beds but they have headboards so you can save money by not buying an entire bed while getting the same look.

AllModern

Did you know that H&M has a home store? It is really just a home section of H&M but it feels like its own store because of the uniqueness of what it has to offer. Always check it out if you are looking for home decor.

While they don’t have a lot of furniture in general, they have a lot of accessories and home decor that are often missing from furniture stores. You need both in order to have an inviting and functional home.

Zara Home

Zara is another clothing store that has great home decor. They have high-end decor and accessories at some great prices. However, they don’t have a large selection of choices so this is a great place to find inspiration or finish up.

If you already have everything you need, this is a great place to go because you can find the finishing touches. This will bring the room together without you going home with a lot of stuff you don’t need.

West Elm

Despite how experienced West Elm seems, they’ve only been around for twenty years. This isn’t long in this industry but it is enough to give them everything they need to have a successful business that draws you in.

Again, here is a store with a lot of really amazing sales. So if they don’t currently have a sale going on you may want to wait until they do so you can catch all of their best furniture at all of the best prices.

PBteen

Pottery Barn in general is a great alternative to IKEA. But did you know that have a special branch known as PBTeen that specializes in teen furniture? Yep! This is your one-stop-shop for your kids.

You may even be able to find furniture for your room and for your younger kids’ rooms. Their prices are great and everything they have is interesting because teens need something to inspire them.

Target

Yes, we know, you’ve probably already been to Target this week or you are already an avid anti-Target shopper but hear us out. Target has some of the best, if not the best, prices when it comes to furniture.

Most people don’t even buy furniture at Target but those people are missing out. Their low prices don’t mean that they have cheap furniture either. Most of their stuff is well-made and worth a shot. Just make sure to look at reviews.

Lulu & Georgia

If this name sounds familiar but you just can’t pin it down, you’re like a lot of people. The owners have been in the family business since the 1950s, so their name has been circulating for quite some time.

Their unique furniture and home decor can be pricey, but it is worth it if you can afford it. Your home will look as high-end as possible if you give them a chance. Maybe just one piece will be within your budget.

Room & Board

Not only does Room and Board have a great selection of furniture, but they also offer great resources too. They even allow you to shop for certain looks as Houzz does. Find inspiration within their inspirations.

As far as prices go on chain stores, Room & Board can be on the medium-to-high end of things. But they do have some good sales every once and a while, making some of their medium-priced furniture rather low.

Etsy

Who hasn’t shopped at Etsy in the last couple of years? They have absolutely anything and everything that you could want or need. From jewelry to clothing to knickknacks and furniture. There isn’t anything they don’t have.

Their furniture doesn’t come at a set price because there are thousands of sellers on Etsy offering different furniture. But you won’t find anything as unique as the handmade creations you find on Etsy.

Scandinavian Design

Have you hopped on the Scandinavian design style train? Well, you probably should because there is something in it for everyone. And what better place to shop for Scandanavian designs than Scandanavian Design?

Though their prices are slightly higher than average, the quality of their furniture is much better than average. So it is worth it if you have a medium to high budget. Definitely take a look at their inventory either way.

Amazon
