Where to Shop for Budget Home Decor

Below is a list of different types of places your can go for your budget home decor. Get inspired online and then create a space you love with these affordable places.

Shop Secondhand

1. Thrift Stores & Consignment Shops: You can find some beautiful furniture from decades past at local thrift and consignment shops. 

• You will find unique furniture, vintage home accents, picture frames, mirrors, old books, and bowls—really anything that adds charm and depth to your room.
• If you’re willing to DIY, this can be a perfect place to find your next masterpiece. Search for style and craftsmanship that you love and then refinish it to match your room.

2. Facebook Marketplace: This is one of my favorite first stops before I go shopping. Perfect for furniture and gym equipment. 

• What you’ll find: Pretty much everything! I have gotten lamps, tables, and workout equipment and sold many things, too. 
• Prices are negotiable, and oftentimes, a great place to find a wonderful addition to your decor. You can even search for items listed as "free.”
• A good tip is to play with the location and “shop” different towns near you. There can be name-brand furniture for amazing pricing if you play around with the search.

3. Facebook Groups: This is different from the Marketplace. If you join a Facebook group, you can always find items tailored to the type of group it is.

• You can join groups based on types of furniture (Restoration Hardware for example) and find people selling those items.
• Join groups that offer swaps and free items. Here you can find anything from your next restoration project to a bed frame (and everything in between).

4: Garage & Estate Sales: People love going to these. It offers second-hand furniture and decor at bargain prices.

• You would have to have cash on you to purchase.
• Prices are often negotiable, so don't be afraid to offer a lower price!!

Shop Big Box Stores

5. Target: Target constantly collaborates with new designers to bring fresh, stylish home decor at affordable prices.

• Even with the prices being so good, you should search the sale and clearance sections. 
• Shop at the end of each season to score the best deals on seasonal items.
• Use the Target app and keep items saved in the section below your cart. You can keep an eye on the pricing this way and not lose the items you love.

6. Walmart: Walmart is known for its affordability in every aspect of life. Why wouldn’t they have great decor for amazing prices?

• Don't forget to check out Walmart's exclusive brands like My Texas House, which offer stylish, affordable decor. 
• Walmart does an exceptional job with holiday decor, so you can celebrate the holidays in styles.

7. Homesense: Homesense is known for affordable home decor, furniture, and rugs. You can also find cute holiday decor here.

• With the prices already great, you know you’re getting a deal. Many of the items I find at Homesense are similar to those sold on Amazon.. You can do some comparison shopping, but usually, Homesense has better pricing.
• Always look in the clearance section first. With new inventory coming in frequently, they will sometimes have THE SAME item on discount as they do at their regular price. I inquired and was told that it must have been an “old” shipment.
• You get to see and touch items which is great compared to Amazon.

8. TJ Maxx: TJ Maxx is owned by the same parent company as Marshalls (listed below) and Homesense, it has a small section of home goods and decor to find.

• This is another great place to grab holiday decor that is unique and priced well.
• TJ Maxx carries similar items to both Marshalls and Homesense, so you just need to determine which one is closest.

9. Marshalls: This is the last in the trio from the same company. Marshalls offers everything from glassware to holiday decor. 

• It's a perfect spot to find candles.
• Like with TJ Maxx and Homesense, go back frequently because inventory is quick to change. That also means that if you like something, get it. It may not be there the next time you go.

Places to Shop Online

10. Amazon: Are we surprised that Amazon made it onto the list? They have EVERYTHING!

• Amazon has a really great Affiliate program that you can use to your benefit. Influencers are constantly styling their products, so you can get what you see online!
• Returns are easy if you have Whole Foods or Kohls nearby.
• Save items you like on a list and check back to see if the prices went down.
• Use Prime Day to your advantage. There can be amazing deals on things you want from your list.

11. Wayfair & Birch Lane: Both stores are owned by the same parent company (if you check the website’s footer, you can find other amazing stores in their lineup).

• Usually, they offer great deals on both the products and the shipping.
• They have so many options to choose from, so you know you’re going to find something that you like.
• Periodically, you can get a 10% discount code sent in the mail.

12. Overstock: I feel like Overstock is the OG of online discount home goods and furniture shopping. With that said, Overstock is still running strong offering deals on your home and decor needs.

• Depending on where you live, Overstock provides free shipping on orders over $50. With many furniture companies, this is not the case. 

13. Ikea:  Ikea isn’t just for first-time homebuyers. Ikea is known for build-it-yourself style furniture, and it also has great decor to style your home.

• Search through sites like Pinterest to see how you can style up an inexpensive piece from Ikea. There are pages dedicated to it!
• You can find amazing frames, pictures, and storage baskets that bring both style and function to your space.
• Grab the Swedish meatballs if you go, they’re delicious!

Shop the Home Decor Section of Craft Stores

14: Hobby Lobby: A craft-and-decor store, Hobby Lobby has so much to offer when it comes to small decor.

• You should check weekly to see what’s on sale. They have a good rotation and put many items on sale.

15. Michaels: Though Michaels is known for its crafts, they also have an impressive selection of cute seasonal decor to brighten your home.

• Keep an eye on the sales, they have them often.
• Perfect for seasonal decor and DIY framing and crafts.

Take it from someone who's been there—decorating on a budget is totally possible. Start shopping and create a space that reflects your style and doesn’t break the bank!
