It's time to mix things up.

We love IKEA for its Scandinavian style­-for-less reliability. Specifically, we love how easy it is to get that empty one-bedroom apartment off the ground with a few starting pieces and home essentials. We also highly anticipate the release of its catalog each year. From its clever storage systems to its ever-evolving kitchenware collection, there's no contest: IKEA is our go-to for all things pretty and practical. It's the accessibility of the Swedish décor giant that makes it so good.

However, even the most die-hard IKEA fans will admit that sometimes you want something that’s not sold in 43 countries around the world and can be found in everyone's living rooms. To help expand your horizons, we rounded up 11 affordable home décor stores worth similar fanfare. Are you looking for the perfect rug without breaking the bank or quality lighting at affordable prices, or is a kitchenware upgrade on your mind? Bookmark these 11 IKEA alternatives filled with unique, accessible décor.
