We all love a great IKEA piece! My home is covered in IKEA, from the coffee table and the media console to the china cabinet and the home office desk. Yet it never hurts to shake things up! Maybe you’re looking for a piece with “some assembly required” rather than “total assembly required”. Perhaps you’re simply wanting a bit of modern design variety at home. While nothing beats IKEA prices and the brand’s eye-catching Scandinavian design, today I’ve rounded up 15 IKEA alternatives should you want to look elsewhere for a furnishing or two…

1. CB2

Affordable, stylish, and always on-trend, CB2 (the sister store of Crate & Barrel) features a range of modern furnishings and decor. The patterns and materials are fresh, the colors reflect today’s most popular hues, and the product photography is gorgeous. Plus, the brand collaborates with talented artists and designers to breathe new life into each collection which makes it stand out as one of the best IKEA alternatives. A true Decoist favorite, CB2 seems too good to be true…except it isn’t! [Below: the Go-Cart Rolling Console Table, used as a desk, $369]

2. MUJI

If you’re a fan of IKEA, you’ll love MUJI, a Japanese company committed to quality craftsmanship and simplicity of form. And yes, there are amazing deals to be found, such as the brand’s U-shaped table, which sells for $127. One aspect of the company’s philosophy reads as follows: “MUJI’s products, born from an extremely rational manufacturing process, are succinct, but they are not in the minimalist style. That is, they are like empty vessels. Simplicity and emptiness yield the ultimate universality, embracing the feelings and thoughts of all people.” [Below: the High Back Reclining Sofa, $680]

3. ferm LIVING

For a designer spin on Scandinavian style without the high designer prices, check out ferm LIVING, founded by Trine Andersen in 2005. Offering products for every room of the home, ferm LIVING is committed to quality materials and innovative style. Items aren’t on the bargain level, but they are fairly priced. Plus, as any good IKEA alternatives would do, you can always find a good deal, especially if you shop accessories and smaller decor. We love the clean-lined, cutting edge look!

4. Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters may cater to a young demographic (college students and young adults), but there’s something here for all ages, especially if you’re into modern design. Think Boho-modern, because there’s a definite California vibe with a dose of ’70s style. But even if you’re not a fan of macrame wall hangings, you can find a range of IKEA alternatives and affordably priced furnishings, textiles, and decor items. Have a look!

5. World Market

For another retailer with a Boho vibe, browse the selection of World Market, which offers everything from bedding and barware to substantial furniture. Yet not all finds are earthy and Bohemian. If you’re into sleek and modern, do yourself a favor and take a second look. [Below: the Natural Wood and Chrome Colton Mix & Match Desk]

6.AllModern

Curating an array of modern products at an equal array of price points, AllModern is a one-stop-shop featuring hundreds of brands (including Kartell, Knoll and Moooi).

7. H&M Home

And as with H&M’s clothing, you can’t beat those prices! Vases, cushions, bedding, storage baskets…feather your nest in style. [Below: an assortment of vases, planters and baskets]

Like H&M, Zara is known for its well-priced clothing. And like H&M, it also offers eye-catching home decor. Beautifully designed like its clothing, this furniture and decor are affordable and fabulous.

10. The Land of Nod

Sure, The Land of Nod specializes in quality kids’ furniture and decor, but as the tagline reads, this is “design for kids and people that used to be kids”. In other words, there’s something here for everyone. The brand’s shelving, rug and lighting options are particularly ideal for design lovers of all ages. Plus, there are some playful pillows that would breathe new life into any living room! And yes, this is a sister store of Crate & Barrel and CB2. No wonder the design is so good… [Below: the Spotlights Pendant, $129]

11. PBteen

While we’re on the topic of furnishings that work well in the homes of adults and kids alike, we can’t skip over PBteen. This sister company of Pottery Barn and West Elm (among others) offers fun furnishings, bedding and accessories for teens. And the prices reflect the demographic. So don’t be ashamed to hunt for a bargain on this site, which features many of the latest trends. [Below: a sectional sofa from the affordably priced Cushy Lounge Collection]

13. Room & Board

Not every piece is a steal at Room & Board, but the selection is so wide, there are affordable finds in the mix. We’re particularly smitten with the end tables, many of which showcase retro-modern flair. Visit the site, look around, and you’re sure to cross paths with an interesting piece that fits your price point. [Below: the Eileen Gray End Table (among other R&B finds), $399]

Sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference. And if the price is right, even better. [Below: the Pyramid Hanging Cage Light, $19.99]

Let’s talk about Etsy! While this e-commerce site features a range of shops selling wares (the focus is on vintage and handmade items), the result is a wide array of unique products, many of which are priced well. While you may pay artisan/designer prices for items such as handcrafted furniture, there are deals to be had. You just have to be willing to look! And there’s always a good sale. If you’re a true bargain hunter, stick to small decor to avoid higher shipping costs. [Below: Copper + Cement Air Plant Holder from Etsy shop Etta & Odie, $12]
