Whether you’re starting with an unfurnished canvas or looking for one statement piece to upgrade an area, it’s difficult to determine where exactly to begin when shopping for your space. As much as the internet is our ally in these DIY endeavors, it can also turn into our worst enemy. We start by Googling a simple keyword, only to end up with an endless sea of sofas to bookcases and every home item in between — turning our search from fun treasure hunt to survival of the strongest.
To avoid any search-result overload, along with misguided over-spending, we rounded up our favorite furniture to wall art to decor (and everything in between) sites. Scroll through the destinations ahead, curated by “best for” styles, and take some of the headache out of home shopping. It’s time to kick back, relax, and click your way to a better space — without needing to leave your couch.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy or click on something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Blame the lasting effects of Mad Men: The mid-century modern look isn’t going anywhere soon.

Target
Best For: Affordable Furniture & Decor
Target has really stepped up its home-decor game in recent years, meaning you can grab pieces that look way more luxe than they actually cost. Shopping online has its perks, since many of Target’s wares are web exclusives. Still, it can be overwhelming, and it can be hard to find the perfect piece just through search. We recommend checking out some of our favorite collections, like Opalhouse or Threshold, as well as keeping an eye out for some of Target’s amazing collaborations, like the seasonal releases from Joanna Gaines.

If you can look past the child-sized armchairs and toy bins, you’ll find plenty of pieces that work for any age. Plus, a lot of the furniture and decor are priced a bit friendlier than similar stuff targeted at adults.

Ah, Scandinavian minimalism. Nothing compares to that sparse, clean decor — and that super-minimal Ikea price tag.

And hey, if you’re not into the “all-white kitchen bathed in the cold Stockholm sunshine” look, don’t worry. Ikea is full of surprises.
IKEA LINNEBÄCK Chair, $, available at IKEA
CB2
Best For: Sleek Accent Pieces
Crate & Barrel’s younger, sleeker sister, CB2 is a go-to for affordable accent pieces as well as more serious investments, like couches and tables. While those bigger pieces might not hit Ikea-level pricing, you can find some mid-range options that will be with you for years to come. Smaller goods, like pillows and occasional furniture, tend to be accessibly priced and come in a range of styles that can be a good way to update a space.
