Similar to the old adage, “The clothes make the person,” in today’s world, the decor makes the home. This statement doesn’t mean that the bones don’t matter; they do. When searching for the perfect luxury apartment, the floor plan, molding, tiling, appliances, building amenities, location, and lighting all matter. But, after our team at AptAmigo finds you your dream apartment, the furnishing and decoration make it fully your dream home. With that in mind, we compiled a list of some of our favorite places online to find the perfect home decor to fit any style or budget.

The Best Places to Buy Home Decor Items Online
Even if you plan to go to brick-and-mortar stores like Bob’s Discount Furniture, IKEA, and Neiman Marcus, most people these days purchase at least some of their home items online, especially as online retail giants, such as Amazon and Wayfair, take over increasingly more significant shares of the market. Most stores with physical locations have also expanded their online presence to remain competitive, producing a huge range of digital stores for consumers.
If you recently moved or simply want to refresh your space, you’re sure to find the perfect home decor to fit your needs from the places on our list below.
All-Purpose Apartment Home Decor
IKEA
Perhaps the most well-known build-your-own furniture store, IKEA also boasts a remarkable inventory of home decor essentials. Their infamous big box stores allow you to see beautifully curated mock-ups, and their low prices make up for their complicated, word-free assembly manuals. However, you can skip the day-long journey through the IKEA labyrinth and order online for pick-up or scheduled delivery.
Pottery Barn
Much more than Pottery, Pottery Barn has served as a one-stop shop with an extensive selection of affordable home decor for 75 years.
Luxury Home Decor
Rove Concepts
If you love the inevitable question, “Where did you get this?,” look no further than Rove Concepts. Their avant-garde home decor and furnishings will turn heads and prompt questions.
Neiman Marcus
The aforementioned Neiman Marcus is a treasure trove of unique and stylish home decor. From serene simplicity to the truly baroque, they sell (for a price) what you seek.
Williams Sonoma
Perhaps best known for its picturesque kitchen collections, Williams Sonoma has taken over the luxurious yet accessible market. From bakeware to garden furniture, cutlery to bar essentials, they offer the top brands to suit your taste.
Apartment Home Decor on a Budget
Wayfair
A monolith of furniture and home goods, Wayfair’s site lists so much, perhaps too much, to choose from. If you don’t mind putting in a little elbow grease, this retailer is one of the best options for high-quality home decor at a budget price.
Overstock
Sometimes, great products don’t sell, or companies produce too much of a given item. Whatever the issue, let the mishap benefit you by shopping Overstock. Neither damaged nor mismade, these goods simply went on sale because the supply outweighed the demand. It might require a little patience and effort, but this site yields genuine savings.
New York Magazine
Although not an online retailer, New York Magazine’s The Strategist lists cheap but “expensive-looking” apartment decor ideas. There has never been a more affordable way to plus-up your apartment.
Quirky Apartment Decor
The House of Things
If you like a statement piece, if you like to display that unique item that no one else has seen before, look no further than The House of Things for iconic home decor that begs a story.
The Other Aesthetic
You could fashion yourself a Baddie, or adore the Cottagecore that floods your feeds. Whatever your style, you can find unique and coordinated decor ideas through The Other Aesthetic.
Cheap Apartment Decor Ideas
Outside of online retailers, many resale sites offer cheap used home decor. While eBay and Craigslist were some originals, sites like Facebook Marketplace and apps like OfferUp and Letgo have exploded in popularity. Amazing deals on your dream decor await if you don’t mind something a little pre-loved.
