We scoured Dollar Tree's aisles for the best bargains on home decor dupes that look almost identical to the real deal.
From fab photo frames to woven baskets with a natural, organic feel, our carefully curated list features frugal finds for budget shoppers.

And bonus, these posh products are a fraction of Pottery Barn's price.
Editor's note: Prices and availability are subject to change and may vary by location.
Woven Baskets
Price: $5
Woven baskets are a Pottery Barn basic that combines form with function. The Dollar Tree dupe is a decor staple that adds a casual chic style to your home. And for $5, you could nab a few of these affordable items to dress up your den or add flair to your family room.
These clever storage solutions do more than just accent your home's interior. Use the baskets to store mail, keys, gloves, hats, or other smaller-sized objects.
While this larger size is priced in the "dollar plus" range, you could score smaller versions for $1.25. How much does Pottery Barn charge for a similar product? A woven basket could cost $59 or more (depending on the model).
Special Moments Wall Hook
Price: $1.50
Do more than just hang up clothes with this hook. The luxe leaf-shaped gold-toned accent has a glamorous look that gives any interior space an instant glow-up. Mount the affordable item in your entryway, bathroom, or bedroom. You could use this fully functional find to hold lightweight items such as scarves, jewelry, hand towels, or hats.
Are you looking for a creative way to display art? Instead of a plain bracket, hang paintings or photos on this playful pick.
Sometimes you don't need to find an identical dupe to get a specialty-store style. Even though Pottery Barn doesn't stock the same item, the upscale retailer does sell "Fantastical Forest" hooks for $19.50 each.
Candle Holder
Price: $3
Accent an end table or your mantel with these polished, refined candle holders. Choose from a sleek black or classic white design. The 4.25-by-4.25-by-six-inch accessories hold standard-sized pillars.
Compare Dollar Tree's low $3 price for this decor deal to $39.50 for a similar style at Pottery Barn. Keep in mind, there are a few differences between the two brands. Dollar Tree's holders are made of light wood, while Pottery Barn's are ceramic. But if you're just looking for that high-end aesthetic, the dollar store's dupe is a much better bargain.
Special Moments Photo Frame
Price: $3
Display your family's precious memories in this well-priced five-by-seven-inch oval frame. The metallic gold tone gives this budget-friendly buy an understated opulence that only looks expensive.
Yes, it costs more than Dollar Tree's usual $1.25 price. But the $3 "dollar plus" item is a steal compared to what you'll pay at Pottery Barn. The upscale retailer charges $39.50 for a smaller four-by-six-inch Maeve Thin Metal Oval Frame (brass finish).
With the money you save on this deal, you could afford to scoop up a few more frames. Dollar Tree has dozens of other Pottery Barn dupes for a fraction of the price. If you're searching for something with sparkle, the Special Moments Glitter Gold Picture Frame is only $1.25. Looking for something neutral? We spotted a classic gold-trimmed design and a basic white frame, also for $1.25 each.
Home Collection Throw
Price: $7
This plush 50-by-60-inch throw does more than just keep you warm on a chilly night. While you could certainly snuggle under the soft 100 percent polyester fabric, you could also use this patterned pick to dress up your sofa, an armchair, or your bed.
If your furniture has seen better days, drape the stylish blanket over tears, worn patches, or stains to quickly (and affordably) camouflage damage.
Don't let the $7 "dollar plus" price "throw" you. Dollar Tree's decor deal is significantly less than what you'll find at Pottery Barn. The retailer charges $79 for a Cozy Cloud Plush Throw and $179 for a Faux Fur Ruched Throw.
Home Collection Layering Rug
Price: $5
Give your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, or entryway a mini rustic-chic makeover with this 21-by-34-inch 100 percent polyester rug. This fashionable find has major farmhouse appeal. Use the cute carpet on its own or (as the name implies) layer it over/under another mat. Choose from four classic black-and-white plaid patterns, or, for just $5 a piece, buy one of each.
We didn't see the identical item at Pottery Barn. But the Dollar Tree deal does mimic the traditional style of the high-end home retailer's Thatcher Plaid Mat. Both items are the same size and feature a similar design. But only one comes with a $5 price tag. Pottery Barn charges $42.50 for the brand's handwoven cotton rug.
Home Collection Throw Pillows
Price: $7
Fans of Pottery Barn's crisp, clean, contemporary aesthetic might adore this affordable item. The neutral gray throw has a modern look for less.
We understand that paying $7 for home decor is new for most Dollar Tree shoppers. But the added cost is well worth it. This budget-priced pillow has a sophisticated style that easily elevates an older or lackluster couch, chair, or window seat.
In comparison, Pottery Barn sells an Everyday Linen Pillow Cover for $79.50. Add in the down alternative insert ($22.50), and your total is $102. That means you could save $95 on the discount store's "dollar plus" product.
Lemon Burst Candle
Price: $5
Candles do more than just cover odd odors. While this 14-ounce Lemon Burst scent has a sweet, tangy fragrance that helps to eliminate the strange smells Fido and Fluffy leave behind, it's also an interior accent. The crisp, clean yellow jar adds a subtle pop of color to your living space.
Like Dollar Tree's other "plus" picks, this find costs more than other items at the store. But the $5 you'll spend is still less than what you would pay at Pottery Barn.
The retailer's Citrus Herb Scent Collection has a similar zesty scent. How much more does this fragranced find cost? Pottery Barn charges $59.50 for a medium candle and $79.50 for the large size.
Floral Glass Bala Vase
Price: $3
Elevate your home's interior with this elegant item. The classic clear glass vase has a traditional style that oozes sophistication. And don't worry, we won't tell anyone that you only spent $3 on this affordable interior accent. A similar Organic Stem Glass vase (16-inch size) costs $79.50 at Pottery Barn. If you don't absolutely need the base, you could get the same almost-oval shape for $76.50 less.
Even though this accent looks plain, it has a quiet charm that complements almost any floral arrangement. Styling tip: Fill the bottom with decorative rocks, gems, or marbles and add a few seasonal faux flowers. Dollar Tree sells a 14-ounce bag of Crafter's Square Glass Accent Gems or a 32-ounce bag of Polished River Rocks for $1.75.

Gold Metal Candle Lantern
Price: $3
Brighten the night and create a romantic ambiance with these gold-toned lanterns. The metallic accents have a luxurious look that adds a special touch to almost any space. Use the lantern with wax or flameless pillars. Dollar Tree sells Luminessence Battery-Operated LED Pillar Candles for $1.25 each or two-count packs of LED votives for the same price.
And as a bonus, with a few crafty touches, you could transform this basic buy into holiday decor without going into debt. Add a festive ribbon or surround the base with a few faux flowers.
Score serious savings on this $3 deal. In comparison, Pottery Barn sells a 15-inch mini Caleb Handcrafted Metal Outdoor Lantern in brass for $69.
Bottom line
You don't have to break the bank on overpriced interior accents just to give your home that coveted Pottery Barn style. Discount stores like Dollar Tree offer similar selections at a fraction of the cost. While the quality isn't always on par with what you would find at the high-end chain, the overall savings are worth it.
Even though we searched for Dollar Tree decor deals, the budget-friendly retailer also has plenty of bargains that make it easy to save money on groceries, everyday essentials, seasonal styles, and viral beauty buys. Tip: Check the price before you buy. Gone are the days when everything cost $1.25. With the new "dollar plus" model, you could pay $3, $5, $10, or more.
FAQs
How can I make inexpensive home decor look more expensive?
Stick to a coordinated color palette and give each piece room to stand out. Try pairing a woven basket with a neutral throw or styling a clear vase with a few seasonal stems. A small group of complementary accents could create a polished look without filling every surface.
What should I check before buying Dollar Tree home decor?
Inspect glass for chips, frames for loose backing, and textiles for uneven seams. Check dimensions, materials, and care instructions, too. A piece may resemble a pricier option but be smaller or made for a different use.
Which decor swaps should I start with on a small budget?
Start with one area you see every day, such as your entryway or sofa. A basket for clutter, a fresh throw pillow, or a vase could help refresh the space. Choose pieces that work with what you already own to avoid buying additional accessories.
