19 Furniture Stores Like West Elm For Midcentury Modern Home Decor

<span class="copyright">Joybird</span> — Joybird

We all love West Elm for its mid-century modern aesthetic, which can include design details like clean lines, dark woods, geometric shapes and bold accents. Over the years, the brand has become extraordinarily popular for its selection of minimal furniture with a vintage feel, and it seems like everyone and their funky mom bought the same blush velvet armchair and went through the same “Peggy couch” phase (followed by, of course, the “getting a refund for the Peggy couch” phase).

While West Elm may seem like the obvious destination for sleek, eye-catching and nostalgic home furnishings, we promise you it’s not the only one. There are a multitude of online shops offering clean-lined, modern furniture that’s affordable and stylish.

If you’re not looking to spend enormous sums of money on a couch, allow us to clue you in to the plethora of budget-friendly retailers to buy mid-century modern furniture and home decor. You may even find some steals at discount home decor sites. On the other hand, if you’re in the market for a true luxury piece, there are plenty of elevated destinations for masterfully crafted, gorgeous furniture that will stand the test of taste and time.

To help you decorate a new place or spruce up your beloved home, we’ve pulled together a list of furniture stores similar to West Elm where you can buy modern furniture in an array of styles, colors and prices.

Amazon

Walker Edison at Amazon

One look at the Walker Edison landing page and you won’t believe it’s an Amazon brand. Their pieces look much more expensive than they are, with incredibly aesthetically pleasing options for every room of your house. This rounded, fluted credenza looks like something out of a high-end design magazine. As beautiful as it is functional, it has plenty of storage space and is available in two different sizes and colors.

Burrow

The first couch I ever purchased for myself was from Burrow, largely in part because I loved the mid-century design inspiration. The brand started with couches, and has now expanded its repertoire to include all manner of furniture. It’s well made, liveable and at a fairly reasonable price point for large pieces like this lovely recliner.

Walmart

Before you scoff, take a peek around Walmart’s extensive furniture options. There is a surprising amount of majorly stylish options at a range of price points, most of them pretty affordable. I purchased an outdoor furniture set from Walmart myself a few years ago, and I remain shocked at how well it’s held up. This popular retailer has just about everything you can think of when it comes to furnishing your home and is worth a look when shopping for mid-century style pieces like this three-legged reading chair. It looks like it came straight out of my grandparents’ home!
