Pottery Barn is renowned for its beautiful home decor that seamlessly blends elegance and sophistication. While it is undeniably beautiful, the price point often reflects the use of higher-end materials and a commitment to craftsmanship. The brand takes pride in employing quality materials, ensuring that each piece not only serves a functional purpose but also stands as a testament to enduring style.


While we admire Pottery Barn's commitment to excellence, we're broke! As much as we drool over their $200 vases, the truth is it's not in the budget. So we have to get creative to find affordable home decor! Some turn to DIYs to make their own versions of Pottery Barn decor pieces. Others scour the internet for decor pieces that have the look of Pottery Barn decor but for a much lower price.


So we took some time to browse Pottery Barn's bestsellers and searched the internet for similar more affordable home decor options. Some items are made of a different material or they might not be the exact same color as the Pottery Barn version, but they have the same overall elegant look. We hope you find the perfect piece for your home!

Now lets discover timeless home decor pieces that have that luxury Pottery Barn feel but at more affordable procepoint!



Weathered Terracotta Vases

Weathered Terracotta vases are all the rage at Pottery Barn right now. They come in several different colors ranging from bold blue hues, warm earth tones, and stark white. The below items were our favorite finds that look similar to several vases on the Pottery Barn website right now but for WAY less!




Rattan Wrapped Chain

Pottery Barns rattan wrapped chain adds the perfect organic accent to your tabletop decor. Beautifully crafted, this decor piece adds visual interst and warmth to any space. But its beauty comes with a price... over $100 for a tabletop decor piece!! Fear not rattan fans, there is a cheaper alternative. Amazon has an almost identical rattan chain for much less than the Pottery Barn version. And if that price point is still a little high for you, there are different size variations on Amazon you can get for 1/4th the price.



Bedding

Pottery Barn has amazing bedding in beautiful colors and patterns to create a peaceful and serene bedroom space. Over $100 for a simple duvet cover, however, does not bring us peace and serenity. Thankfully Amazon has some highly rated and affordable alternatives. The Evergrace collection, for instance, has bedding in beautiful colors, prints, and luxurious fabrics for less than half what Pottery Barn is charging! Plus, who is going to check the brand tags on your comforter anyways?! Check out some of our favorites below.

Candelabra

Pottery Barn's Laurine Candelabra has a very striking look. This rustic iron candelabra has a hand-forged feel that catches light beautifully. I'm just not sure it catches $129 woth of beautiful light. Instead you can find a similar looking candelabra on Amazon for around half the price. The Amazon candelabra comes in an antique brass finish instead of black, but if you really prefer black adding the cost of a can of spray paint will still have you in the black.




Chinoiserie Lamp

New with their Spring 2025 releases, Pottery Barn has introduced us to the beautiful Montrose Ceramic table lamp. This beautiful white and blue chinoiserie style lamp is crafted of terracotta clay and is sure to be a focal point in any room. However, you will need to shell out $300-$350 (depending on the size) to call this lamp your own. Save some cash and get one of these beautiful Chinosierie lamps off Amazon for a quarter of the price!

Tabletop Crane Figurine

Also new with the Spring 2025 collection is a brass crane tabletop decor object. Hand cast and finished in antique bronze this decor object exudes elegance. At around $80, its not the worst prices Pottery Barn item we've ever seen, but as usual, we can do better. If you can deal with a wood crane object instead of brass, you can find the below pair of crain figures for around half the price! And if you would rather it be brass, you can get a can of spray paint for a couple bucks and still be saving tons of money!






Floral Throw Pillows

Decorating with throw pillows is an easy and versatile way to enhance the aesthetic of a space. Pottery Barn has several throw pillows that landed on their bestseller list, but the one that caught our eye was the Zea Embroidered Lumbar Pillow. Delicate florals paired with warm neutral tones create a beautiful relaxing and refined look. This pillow has a striking and unique look so it was surprising to find something so similar on Amazon for a much better price. The below spring pillow covers are not embroidered, but this beautifully printed pillow cover will cost you far less for a set of 2 compared to the $76 you would spend for 1 at Pottery Barn!




Round Wall Mirrors

Round wall mirrors gained popularity a few years ago and this trend is still going strong. Mirrors are great to help enhance natural light, make spaces appear larger, and serve as stylish focal points. A black-rimmed round mirror from Pottery Barn can run around $400-$700, but there is no need to spend that much for this home decor staple. The below mirror 39" black round mirror comes in at less than HALF the cost!

Pillar Candle Holder

Pillar candle holders can serve as a great table centerpiece or even mantle and shelf decor. The Pottery Barn woven rattan and glass hurricane candle holder lends a tropical mood to your space. The small size candle holder from Pottery Barn is around $70. However, you can get the same costal feel from the below 2 piece candle holder set on Amazon for way less!





Woven Tray

Woven baskets are a very versatile decor piece. They are perfect for coffee tables or countertops. Adding a few small decor pieces, books, or candles completes the look. You can find a beautiful 18" hand-woven rattan oval tray on Pottery Barn's website, but it will cost you $120. Instead check out the below 17" oval woven rattan tray for a steal!
