I Styled My Home Using Only Walmart — It Looks Like Crate & Barrel
I love the modern look of Crate & Barrel: the velvety, textured pillows, sculptural wood bowls and other warm, elevated pieces that help pull a room together.
What I don’t love is the price tag, especially when I’m on a tight budget. And while Crate & Barrel has outlet stores, it doesn’t always carry the same items or color options as the main retail locations.

So I decided to see whether I could find similar home decor at a lower-priced retailer like Walmart. I was skeptical at first, but I was pleasantly surprised by some of Walmart’s stylish home brands, including Better Homes & Gardens, Beautiful by Drew Barrymore, Jolusere and Famiware.
Here are five Walmart home decor finds that look like they belong at Crate & Barrel.

Better Homes & Gardens Rattan Round Caddy
Price: $11.97
Better Homes & Gardens Rattan Round Caddy is a handy small storage staple made from woven fiber, a metal frame and resin. The caddy has four individual compartments for storing utensils, napkins and other items. It’s ideal for kitchens, porches or outdoor get-togethers by the pool — and it’s easy to clean. The best part: It costs under $12, minus the tax.
Crate and Barrel sells a similar caddy that retails for $35.95, and the quality of the woven material looks identical.
Famiware 12-Piece Stoneware Dinnerware Set With Plates & Bowls for 4
Price: $69.99
The Famiware 12-Piece Stoneware Dinnerware Set with Plates & Bowls serves four and includes four 10.2-inch dinner plates, 8-inch salad plates and four cereal bowls for under $70. The lip on the plates avoids liquid spillage, and the speckled pattern is an appealing stoneware design.
If you were to buy a 12-piece stoneware dinnerware set at C&B, you’d fork over $199.99. Why pay $130 more? Instead, put the savings into your emergency fund for a rainy day.
Better Homes & Gardens Indoor Carved Mid-Tone Brown Wood Decorative Dough Bowl
Price: $17.96
This Better Homes and Gardens Indoor Carved Mid-Tone Brown Wood Decorative Dough Bowl has a beautiful, warm texture, and you can certainly use it for more than just dough. The scalloped wooden edges give it an elegant appearance. Compare it to a wooden bowl in a similar size at Crate and Barrel that costs $39.95. That’s more than double the price.
Beautiful 8x10 Burl Wood Photo Frame by Drew Barrymore

Framing your favorite memories and moments with your family and furry and human friends — whether you shoot them with a digital or analog camera — doesn’t have to be expensive. This Beautiful 8x10 Burl Wood Photo Frame by Drew Barrymore is a Bohemian-style frame with character that warms up a room, and it only costs $14.97 at Walmart.
If you were to buy an 8x10 burl wood picture frame at C&B, you’d be shelling out $79.95. That’s a difference of $65 minus two cents and the tax.

At Crate and Barrel, the Oxford Shirting blue-and-white striped duvet cover in organic cotton costs $127.96, and you have to purchase the sheets separately. That’s enough to make you want to crawl into bed and hide under the covers when you learn how much you could have saved at Walmart.
