6 Marshalls Items That Are Identical to Pottery Barn’s (For a Fraction of the Price)

Marshalls is not the kind of store where you walk in with a list. It's a treasure hunt, and the shoppers who keep more cash in their pocket know what they're hunting for before they ever hit the aisle.

That means knowing the silhouette of an expensive glass vase, the texture of a good wool throw, and the exact plaid that shows up every fall in the catalogs. Once you know what to look for, the home aisle at Marshalls starts to look a lot more interesting.

Inventory shifts by store and by week, so none of this is guaranteed to be sitting there waiting. But these finds show the pattern is real, and a little patience plus some savvy shopper hacks can turn up a whole room's worth of lookalikes.

Price: $19.99 

Oversized frames do the heavy lifting on a wall, and this bullnose-edge Enchante frame in soft light green is matted down to 11x14 with sawtooth hanging hardware. It's marked down from $30.

Pottery Barn's Wood Gallery Oversized Frames line starts at $99, so you get the oversized framed look here for a lot less, though the finish and exact matted dimensions are not the same.

Price: $16.99

A pretty set of teacups can make an everyday cup of tea feel a little more special. This two-piece set from Coastline Imports features a delicate hydrangea pattern on ceramic cups and matching saucers. They're also a charming option for entertaining guests, and the set costs just $16.99.

Pottery Barn's Emma Beaded Stoneware Cup and Saucer Sets offer a similarly classic look, with a distinctive beaded edge instead of a floral pattern. A set of four costs $72, or $18 per cup and saucer, compared with about $8.50 per pair at Marshalls.

Price: $38.99

Embroidered florals are a go-to for that layered, collected living room look, and this 20x20 pillow from Rachel Roy has a velvet-textured ground with handmade embroidery and a removable zippered cover. It's down from $42.

Pottery Barn's Vivaan Floral Pillow Cover is $59.50, and that's the cover alone with no insert, so the Marshalls pillow costs less and comes ready to toss on the couch.

Price: $11

A decorative vase can make a shelf or entryway table feel more put together without much effort. This 11-inch ceramic vase from Eccolo features a textured finish and green-and-white floral design that gives it a charming, vintage-inspired look. It's also marked down from $29.99 to just $11.

Pottery Barn's Green Floral Vase Collection offers a similar botanical look, with handcrafted terracotta vases featuring a green-and-white glaze. The collection ranges from $39.50 to $129, making the Marshalls version a much more affordable way to get the look.

Price: $14.99

Holiday drinkware is an easy way to make your table feel festive without replacing your everyday dishes. These double old-fashioned glasses from Jingles & Joy feature Christmas tree decorations and come in a set of two. At $14.99, they're an affordable addition to a holiday gathering or a fun gift for someone who loves seasonal decor.

Pottery Barn's Snowman Icon Tumblers have a similar playful holiday look, with snowman decorations instead of Christmas trees. The set of four is listed at $38.99 to $56, making the Marshalls glasses a less expensive option per glass.

Price: $49.99

Plaid pillows are a fall and winter constant, and this oversized 24x24 square from P/Kaufmann is woven in a rich twilight plaid with a duck feather fill, and it is made in the USA. It's down from $70, and the feather fill at this price is the part that stands out.

Pottery Barn's Stewart Plaid with Faux Fur Back Pillow Cover is $69.50 for the cover by itself, so this stuffed version does more for less.

These tips don't work if you walk into Marshalls expecting one specific item to be sitting on the shelf. The better approach is to learn the silhouettes, finishes, and patterns the pricier catalogs keep repeating, then let the hunt do the rest. Check the clearance end caps and swing by every week or two.
