Forget a Night at the Museum—how about an overnight stay at Anthropologie? The chain’s free-spirited-yet-uncluttered take on boho style has inspired countless “I wish I could move in here” moments, and it may leave you inspired to redecorate your whole home. That is, until you realize doing so would cost a small fortune. (The chain’s famous Fern cabinet alone will set you back $2,698.)

But your Anthro fantasies need not be dashed, even if your budget is more HomeGoods. If you know the right statement pieces to shop from the store, you can bring that effortlessly cool vibe home—and preserve your style in the process, so you’re not catalog living, either. Here’s what to look out for.

20 Stores Like Anthropologie to Shop Right Now


Bubble jewelry is having a moment, so why not extend the trend to your walls? These fun letters—in bronze or silver—add a whimsical-yet-still-elevated touch to kids’ rooms and mudrooms.

In a sea of boxy furniture, the minimalist arch of the Fern line stands out. But at nearly $2,700 for the full-size storage cabinet, it’s an investment. If you’re not ready for that level of commitment, go smaller scale with the hanging wall cabinet. It’s got room to store your favorite glassware, books and other tchotchkes—as well as two drawers for the things you’d rather hide, like charging cables. Slide a minimalist bar cart underneath, and you’ve got the same statement-making level of storage at a fraction of the price.

The Volcano candle’s blend of sugared citrus scents is burned so frequently in Anthropologie stores that it’s become known as the “Anthro scent.” It’s like a tropical vacation (or shopping spree) in a goes-with-anything matte black jar. Choose the small size if you’re placing it in a bathroom, medium for most bedrooms, and large if you’d like to fill a living room, kitchen or other large, open area.

4. Icon Juice Glasses

It’s called the icon for a reason. Just as charms on everything have taken off, so has Anthropologie’s set of trinket-bedazzled glassware. It’s a prime example of the brand’s style: There’s a flourish of whimsy, yet the cup doesn’t skew so over-the-top that it’s childish or gaudy. And with 24 options to choose from (berries! Bumblebees! Evil eyes!), you’re bound to find a style that reflects your personality perfectly.

5. Scalloped Ceramic Pot

Scallops can turn twee real fast. As the trim on this otherwise mod, straight-sided planter, they feel fresh and fun—and distract if your pothos is looking a bit, ahem, tired. (Psst: It includes a drainage hole too, making watering a bit easier.)

6. Luisa Mirror

The Gleaming Primrose Mirror was everywhere from 2018 to 2020, to the point that it started feeling overdone. If you love the aesthetic, take a closer look at the Luisa style. It features a gilded iron frame, only with a more nature-inspired romantic accents, like hummingbirds and flowers. Available as an oval mirror, an above-the-mantel arched design or a floor-length number, you’ve got plenty of options to make it the focal point of any room.

What Anthro does really well: Creating modern pieces with a time-worn, heirloom quality. The intricate stitching on this lustered velvet quilt creates texture that still feels snuggly, elevated without looking shabby. It’ll instantly class up your bed, even (especially?) if you’re not the wake-up-and-fold-military-corners-to-pressed-perfection type. (Psst: This style is only available online, but you can score it in sizes ranging from twin to California King—and with four colors options, from bronze to mossy green.)

Get one step closer to the Nancy Meyers kitchen of your dreams by adopting her strategy of displaying your dishware. You don’t need a giant overhead rack—those can get cluttered looking anyway—just this delicate fluted utensil rack to adorn a narrow strip of wall.

Maybe now isn’t the time for a full-scale remodel, or even a new backsplash. But you know what? You can bring that glam subway tile feeling into your kitchen with this monogram mug. Plus, it’s a pretty chic addition to that aforementioned utensil rack, don’t you think?

Speaking of dishware you’ll want to display, have you seen these delicately scalloped terracotta plates? Made in Portugal, this set of four side plates has a solid heft to them, let the detailing still makes them feel delicate. (Best of all, though, they’re microwave and dishwasher safe.)

Anthro lures you in with its statement-making patterned sofas (just peep the Colleen pied-a-terre design). But at nearly $3,000, it’s an investment you may tire of quickly. Time to, as Ross from Friends famously said, “pivot!” Bring the drama with an embroidered velvet pillow. It’s just as eye-catching and intricately designed, and you can easily swap it out (or temporarily retire it) when you need a refresh.

Sumptuously cozy, outrageously fluffy throws are all the rage right now, and for good reason—it’s freezing outside. These cheery stripes modernize the look, but you’ve got nine options to choose from, including solid colors, if that’s more your thing. At 60 by 70 inches, it’s big enough to share—or fully cocoon yourself until spring arrives.

Maybe you’re not the candle-burning type, but you still love scent—and something sculptural on your bookshelf. That’s where this diffuser comes in. Its ivory and gold accents feel so very Coastal Scandifornia, and provided you flip the reeds every few days, your room will be filled with that iconic Volcano scent.

The only thing separating you and the supremely organized person you are deep inside is something to corral your stuff. Let’s start with your jewelry, and this dainty floral box that gives everything its proper place, tangle-free. It’s great for adorning a dresser with the pieces you wear daily, and at 4.25 inches wide, it’s compact enough to travel with you.

You need a new shower curtain. It’s the fastest way to revitalize a bathroom with just one purchase, and Anthropologie’s designs could double as wall art. Usher in spring with this floral number—while staying atop the coquette trend, thanks to those bows kissing each shower ring.
