Don't get me wrong. I love IKEA. Many of the core pieces in my home came from the Swedish retailer, and of course, the prices are hard to beat. However, when I'm ready to trade up my BESTA media cabinet, my many hacked RAST chests, and my well-loved LOHALS rug for furnishings I didn't build myself, there is a wide world of home decor purveyors out there for my — and your — picking. If you find yourself wanting a little upgrade but aren't sure where to start looking, let this list of 20 modern shops (both online and brick-and-mortar) be your guide. (And if budget is key, we also rounded up the best affordable modern furniture stores here.)
You probably already know about this dream of a mid-century modern decor store. But one thing to note when shopping there: Items marked as "commercial grade" or "contract grade" are specially designed for commercial use with materials that will hold up well to wear and tear. Spend a little more on one of these durable but still super-stylish pieces, and you might be looking at your next family heirloom. Or you'll just save yourself a few extra headaches if you have young kids and pets.
If you're looking for top brands and are willing to shell out for them, DWR is your new best friend. Featuring products from iconic designers like Charles and Ray Eames, Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner, and more, this store is your one-stop-shop for all things modern. The selection is huge, with offerings for every room inside (and outside) your home.
This e-super store has just about every room in the house covered, from living room furniture and dining essentials to bedroom staples and home office furnishings. They also carry collections from big modern brands like Kartell, Marimekko, Umbra, and more. So consider AM a great choice for designer items and budget-friendly look-a-likes, too.
You may know Schoolhouse for their throwback lighting designs, but they are so much more than solely vintage-style fixtures. The Portland-based brand's modern-meets-industrial offerings could fill your house, soup to nuts, without looking the least bit matchy-matchy. Standouts include their hardware, lighting (of course), and bed and bath goods.
If you love both modern and industrial style, you need to bookmark Industry West. The retailer sells a curated selection of furniture, lighting, and decor, all of which look like they belong in an urban loft. Since their inventory is small, stuff tends to sell out, so if you see something you love, be sure to grab it while you can.
Our own online marketplace for secondhand and vintage goods is a great place to find modern furniture and decor. You'll find older offerings from well-known brands, including DWR, West Elm, and CB2, as well as lovingly restored vintage finds from top designers. Inventory changes every day, so it's always fun to browse.
This direct-to-consumer e-tailer focuses on seating and tables — though they now offer rugs and accessories, too. You can see pieces in the flesh at Burrow's flagship in New York's SoHo neighborhood or at one of their partner showrooms. Each piece of Burrow furniture is made from sturdy, sustainably sourced hardwood and non-toxic fabrics. Many of the sofas are designed to be both ergonomic and modular, so you can add or subtract pieces when you move into a new space.
While Overstock may be a well-known resource for modern home accessories, its selection of modern furniture is something you won't want to miss. I'd liken its selections as a mix between classic IKEA Stockholm and the modern glam of Anthropologie. From beds and dressers to sofas, coffee tables, and more, you'll find a mix of affordable and luxe pieces, with additional bargains in the rug, lighting, and art departments.
Fans of J.A.'s quirky pottery will be happy to know that he has not one, but two lines of furniture these days. Shop glam modern shelving units, coffee tables, sofas, and more at JonathanAdler.com, and hit up Amazon for his lower-priced Now House line.
You can't beat free delivery on furniture, can you? Oftentimes, budgeting for the transport of your purchases can be forgotten — and quickly add up. But at Apt2B, the cost to get your new goods home is zippo. Beyond their goose-egg delivery fees, we love their riff on beloved mid-century silhouettes, classic modern seating, and edgy case goods, most of which are made in the USA.
Known primarily for its lighting, Rejuvenation belongs to the same family as West Elm and Pottery Barn, and it has the modern inventory to prove it. While you can't go wrong with the extensive lighting section, you can also find plenty of furniture, hardware, and decor. Plus, the site has an incredible vintage and antiques section if you're looking for authentic MCM goods.
The best word to describe HAY? Fun. The retailer sells Danish-inspired modern furniture and decor with a twist — most of their inventory is colorful, different, and full of personality. Their stuff feels a bit more accessible (and youthful) than other modern retailers, and they even did a collaboration with Urban Outfitters in the fall of 2019.
On the "affordability" scale, A+R definitely falls on the pricier end, particularly with regards to their furniture. But if you opt for their fantastic array of more budget-friendly accessories, you'll be tapping a treasure trove of modern goodies.
ABC Carpet specializes in, yup, carpets and rugs, but they also have an impressive inventory of modern furniture. The brand is mainly known for statement seating and high-end art and decor, although you can also find products for beauty, wellness, and even jewelry. Prices are high, but the selection is totally worth it.
My living room products Pinterest board is comprised of many a product from Blu Dot. Their furniture and decor is modern with a hint of glam — picture plenty of walnut with dashes of brass and marble. Even the names of their collections are fun (Hot Mesh, anyone?). Don't forget to peruse their outlet section for even better prices.
As Crate & Barrel's more affordable, slightly hipper younger sibling, CB2 is full of on-trend furniture (heavy on the metallics!), celeb/designer collaborations from the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Lenny Kravitz (yup!), and really great, affordable decor. Though some of their furnishings can get a little pricey, you'll luck out on lighting, rugs, accessories, and dining/kitchen wares.
I recently discovered Capsule, and it was love at first scroll. Their furniture features plenty of tailored silhouettes that are simple yet powerful, with a sprinkling of color throughout. Also, there's something to be said about their scaled-down catalog — it's nice not to have paralysis of choice when evaluating what a brand is selling. You can bring home one of their beautiful sofas for around $1,200.
Buy: Cameron Sofa, $1,299
A great return policy, $49 flat rate (and super-fast) shipping no matter how many pieces you order, and high-quality furnishings at an honestly low price are all fantastic reasons to check out Article.
How could you sit on a sofa from a brand named Joybird and not be happy? Another reason to smile is the company's upstanding sustainable practices — they plant trees with every furniture purchase comparable to what it took to construct the piece (i.e., the sale of a chair equals three trees; a credenza gets eight). If you're willing to wait 6-8 weeks, you can have your pick of dozens of fabric colors for your new sofa, but a handful of styles are available to quick-ship in standard gray.
I love R&B's American-made philosophy: 90 percent of their pieces are crafted in the USA by artisans in family-owned workshops. On top of keeping production stateside, they offer many of their pieces in numerous sizes, finishes, and colors, which lets you, the shopper, take the reins of your purchase and get just what you want and need for your home.
