6 IKEA-Alternative Furniture Brands You Need To Know About Now

Listen, we’re just like everyone else. When we see the new IKEA catalog in the mailbox, we cancel all our plans, order in, pour ourselves a nice big glass of wine and thumb through each page, marveling at the myriad of thoughtful design choices, absurd price tags and exotic unpronounceable Swedish names: GRÖNKULLA, DAGSTORP, NORRÖRA…

Everyone does this, right?

There comes a point in your life, however, when you look around your living room, take in the BILLY bookcases and EKTORP sofa, and realize, “it’s a little too IKEA in here.” But what to do about it? Unless this point in your life has magically coincided with a pay raise, are there any convenient, stylish, low-cost options out there?

Rest assured, there are.

We’ve pulled together a list of six IKEA alternatives to help you diversify your modest furniture collection without breaking the bank. Some of these stores have smaller collections or require you to do a little bit of careful deal-searching, but now that you’re no longer spending the evening with the IKEA catalog, you’ve got a little extra time on your hands, right?
