I love beautiful decor, but I am not willing to pay the price for it. I thrift a lot, but sometimes making my own version really saves money.

But as beautiful as Pottery Barn’s pieces are, the price tags can often be out of reach for any budget-conscious decorator. Fortunately, with a little creativity and some DIY spirit, Pottery Barn DIY dupes will let you enjoy that designer feel without sacrificing your savings.

One of the easiest ways to start is by duplicating smaller decorative pieces like vases, candle holders, or woven baskets. Many Pottery Barn items have a rustic or vintage-inspired feel that’s simple to replicate using thrifted finds and a few craft supplies. For example, a distressed ceramic vase can be mimicked with a basic glass vase from the dollar store, some baking soda paint, and sandpaper for texture. You’d be amazed at how a little paint can transform the look and feel of an object.

Larger furniture dupes are also achievable if you’re up for a weekend project. Coffee tables, dressers, wall hangings, and shelving units can be recreated with plans found online and a trip to your local hardware store. Even IKEA hacks can be used to mimic Pottery Barn pieces with added molding, new hardware, or a fresh wood stain. A plain white cabinet can suddenly become a farmhouse-style statement piece with just a few updates.

Textiles like throw pillows and curtains are another great DIY opportunity. Look for budget-friendly fabrics that resemble Pottery Barn’s popular linen or cotton materials and sew your own pillow covers or curtain panels. Even no-sew options with fabric glue or iron-on tape can give your home that elegant touch. Stenciling or block printing can also help you recreate their signature patterns at home.
