It’s always nice when a company rebrands for the better. Bed Bath & Beyond hasn’t totally rebranded, per se, but as of late, I no longer think of it as the place where I’d bounce on display beds as a kid. If you take a look through BBB’s product offerings, you’ll see what I mean. With furniture and decor specifically, there are so many items that sport designs stylish enough to modernize your entire home. In fact, I saw a good number of pieces that reminded me of ones I looked at in West Elm’s showroom.

At Bed Bath & Beyond, you can purchase an expensive-looking dining table or floor mirror for a fraction of the cost of something from one of those pricey popular home retailers. Don’t believe me? Just check out the finds below. Some of them are straight-up lookalikes of West Elm bestsellers, so now’s your opportunity to shop your dream furniture for less.

If you ask me, this down-filled couch is comparable to West Elm’s Hadley sofa. Both models sport a no-frills but cushy silhouette and come in chic ivory upholstery. At 94 inches long, the Lionel perhaps isn’t the best option for small spaces, but you might still be able to squeeze it into your living room for plenty of lounging space.

I viewed a lot of soft rugs with cool patterns in West Elm’s store, and this abstract number looks like it would fit right in among them. It comes in a handful of colors, though I especially love the light blue variation. This would make a great accessory for the home office or a guest bedroom, and you’ll find the rug’s low pile easy to vacuum.

A clear dupe of West Elm’s mid-century bed, this sturdy pine model is incredibly easy to style and even offers some underbed storage space for shoe boxes and out-of-season clothes. The frame comes in white and a rich walnut finish, and it doesn’t require a box spring.

If you look through West Elm’s floor lamp collection, I think you’ll agree that this Brightech lamp looks like it belongs in the lineup. That’s thanks to its sleek black pole, which also comes in brass, silver, and rose gold, and its timeless shade shape. The lamp also boasts a weighted base to prevent tipping.

Save for the fact that it has a wooden surface instead of a marble top, this pedestal-base dining table reminds me of West Elm’s Ellington model, which I also viewed in-store. For $600 less, you can achieve pretty much the same look. What’s great about this table is that it comes in two sizes, both of which are good for tight living rooms.

West Elm sells a narrower version of this extra wide floor mirror, which is perfect for the front entryway or living room. Its thin frame keeps the look simple overall, but the arched top still differentiates the piece from your basic rectangular mirror. It’s a practical day-to-day must-have, especially for checking your fit before you run out the door.

Bed Bath & Beyond’s Shane swivel chair looks pretty similar to West Elm’s leather Harris chair, which retails for over $400 more. You can buy it individually or in a set of two, which would look so nice opposite the sofa. You can shop the Shane chair in faux leather or fabric upholstery.

As soon as I saw this Nordic-style dining table, I was instantly reminded of West Elm’s Ellington table, which I saw in-store. It has the same wide fluted legs and eye-catching oval top. You can snag the table in two sizes, the smaller of which still seats up to six people. It’s a surefire compliment-getter.

West Elm sells a number of pretty rattan nightstands, so if you’re trying to achieve the brand’s signature laid-back aesthetic in your bedroom, you might opt for this bedside table set from BBB. Each nightstand features a mid-sized drawer for your personal items, as well as a tall shelf underneath for books. And at 25 inches wide, the nightstands aren’t too big.

One of West Elm’s Boerum dining chairs will cost you almost the same amount as a set of these dupes from Bed Bath & Beyond. We love the chairs’ curved shape, which offers optimal support, and visually appealing back cutouts. Even better still, they come in cream-colored upholstery, which is so West Elm.
