If you've ever flipped through a Pottery Barn catalog and wished you could recreate the same timeless look without the high price tags, you're not alone. The retailer offers a huge range of home and garden products, but even on sale, you can pay almost $500 for a single outdoor chair.
The good news is you don't have to spend a fortune to style your home beautifully. Walmart carries plenty of pieces that look nearly identical to Pottery Barn favorites but at a fraction of the cost.
Shopping these 14 finds is a smart way to save money while still getting the high-end look you love.

/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-topeakmart-round-glass-top-end-tables-set-of-2.jpg)
Price: $72.99
These elegant, glass-topped end tables are made of black iron and echo the style of the Tanner Round Glass End Table from Pottery Barn. The difference? The Pottery Barn version costs $399.
Both tables are 24 inches high, and although the one from Pottery Barn is slightly wider, you get two at Walmart for much less.
Shortie's Candle Company Jasmine Tealights
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-shorties-candle-company-jasmine-tealights_1.jpg)
Price: $8.95
Good quality scented tealights are a simple way to enhance any space. Walmart
stocks a set of six soothing, jasmine-laden candles for less than $9. They come
in an attractive, clear cup and are made with real essential oils.
Pottery Barn sells a similarly fragranced tealight in a pack of 12, but it will set you back $24.50.
Pohoudy Hobnail Drinking Glasses, Set of 8
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-pohoudy-hobnail-drinking-glasses-set-of-8.jpg)
Price: $28.99 (on sale from $32.99)
Beaded glassware is so in right now, plus it's durable for when you want to take your drinks outdoors. Pottery Barn offers a set of four beaded cocktail glasses for $40, which comes out to $10 per glass.
While that's not overly expensive, you can save even more by purchasing a set of eight almost identically beaded glasses for around $30 from Walmart.
Battilo Home Throw Blanket
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-battilo-home-throw-blanket.jpg)
Price: $24.99
A fringed throw blanket can update any living space with a splash of seasonal color. Pottery Barn has a soft, handwoven option for $79.
Or, you could opt for this similar version from Walmart for around a third of the price. It comes in more colors, and though it's not handwoven, it's made of acrylic just like the Pottery Barn option.
Shopping pro tip: This month's best deals
/images/2022/12/26/happy-women-with-shopping-bags.jpg)
September marks the start of a new season and a new shopping mindset. As summer winds down, it's the perfect time to take advantage of transitional savings and post-summer sales. Look for deals on:
- Light layers and early fall fashion
- Outdoor clearance items
- Back-to-school essentials
- For grocery savings, grab peak-season produce, like apples, squash, grapes, and sweet potatoes
As retailers begin to roll out fall promotions, September is the sweet spot for scoring deals on both end-of-summer clearances and early autumn items. Shop now to get the best of both seasons.
PGYONG Artificial Flame Pillar Candle
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-pgyong-artificial-flame-pillar-candle.jpg)
Price: $4.33
If you want a moving, flickering, flameless candle from Pottery Barn, you should be willing to shell out $54 for a 3-inch-by-3.5-inch model. Similarly sized candles from Walmart are less than five bucks.
The main difference is that the Pottery Barn version has a real wax exterior, but that's not really worth an extra $50.
Chewoof Bohemian Seagrass Picture Frame
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-chewoof-bohemian-seagrass-picture-frame.jpg)
Price: $19.89 (on sale from $26.30)
Woven accessories, from rattan to seagrass, lend a natural vibe to your home. Pottery Barn charges $79 for its smallest woven gallery-style picture frame.
Get the look for less with the Walmart seagrass version. These freestanding frames are typically priced at just over $26 and are currently on sale for less than $20.
bali & pari Hasana Boho Wall Mirror
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-bali-pari-hasana-boho-wall-mirror.jpg)
Price: $147.78
A dramatic mirror can completely transform a room. A rattan-wrapped, scalloped-edge option from Pottery Barn looks amazing but costs a whopping $599.
Walmart's alternative is almost exactly the same size and shape and uses identical rattan material for its frame. Yet it's a fraction of the price.
Better Homes & Gardens Ellan White Resin Planter
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-better-homes-gardens-ellan-white-resin-planter.jpg)
Price: $14.88 (on sale from $29.98)
Pottery Barn offers a wide range of concrete planters, many of which are available in the brand's clearance section. The 15.75-inch height option in gray is currently reduced to $149.
If you don't mind resin instead of heavy concrete, Walmart offers an almost identical planter for just $14.88.

Beautiful Outdoor Handwoven Jute Doormat by Drew Barrymore
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-beautiful-outdoor-handwoven-jute-doormat-by-drew-barrymore.jpg)
Price: $14.97
The Pottery Barn catalog is packed with woven, jute items in natural tones, like a simple doormat with white stripes for $39.
But head to Walmart, and you can find a similar doormat, albeit with a chunkier weave, for less than half the price. Both mats are handwoven, but the Walmart version is from Drew Barrymore's unique Beautiful brand.
Maxax Glass Table Lamps, Set of 2
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-maxax-glass-table-lamps-set-of-2.jpg)
Price: $76.99 (on sale from $96.99)
The Aria glass table lamp from Pottery Barn is an elegant, transparent cylinder, rimmed with metal and topped with a white fabric shade. In bronze, it's almost identical to Walmart's Maxax table lamps, which feature black trim and oatmeal shades.
Walmart charges $74.99 for two of these lamps, while the Pottery Barn equivalent is $299 for a single lamp.
Kabuer Round Rattan Serving Tray
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-kabuer-round-rattan-serving-tray.jpg)
Price: $24.99
Need a serving tray to impress guests? The 16-inch rattan Tava tray from Pottery Barn will set you back at least $99, and even more if you choose a glass insert.
If you don't mind a slightly smaller tray, the Walmart Kabuer version resembles a scaled-down version of the PB original. The price has shrunk too, by around $75.
Quick tips: How to cut costs on your utility bills
/images/2022/04/13/changing-light-bulb.jpg)
Many people overlook their monthly utility expenses as fixed costs. But with small changes, you can see immediate drop in your bills. Here are some tips:
- Install a programmable thermostat to automatically adjust temperatures
- Switch to LED bulbs, which use up to 75% less energy than incandescent
- Wash clothes in cold water and hang items to dry
- Lower your water heater temperature to 120 degree Fahrenheit
Don't waste money. Remember that every dollar saved on a monthly bill turns into $12 annually.
ARDEN Essentials Outdoor Pillow
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-arden-essentials-outdoor-pillow.jpg)
Price: $14.99
Pillows you can use outdoors and indoors? Yes please. Walmart's versatile offering has bold, monochrome stripes and a PFAS-free coating for peace of mind.
Head to Pottery Barn, and a similar, best-selling outdoor pillow is $39.50, which is more than double the price.
Mainstays Stemless Wine Glasses, 4 Pack
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-mainstays-stemless-wine-glasses-4-pack.jpg)
Price: $5.92
Stemless wine glasses are so elegant and, importantly, much more stable than their taller alternatives. Pottery Barn sells a set of six 18.6-ounce capacity glasses for $75, working out to $12.50 per glass.
If you don't mind your glasses a little smaller, you can buy them for $1.48 each from Walmart, or get a convenient pack of four for $5.92.
Mainstays Artificial Indoor Snake Plant
/images/2025/09/09/5587-walmart-mainstays-artificial-indoor-snake-plant.jpg)
Price: $19.97
If you love the look of the artificial Sansevieria (snake plant) from Pottery Barn but feel squeamish about the $159 price tag, Walmart has you covered.
They offer a very natural-looking alternative for under $20, which is slightly shorter and comes in a white pot instead of black. You could always color the pot if you wished to make it an even closer replica.
Bottom line
/images/2025/09/05/walmart-store-facade_1.jpg)
It might surprise you how many items from Pottery Barn have remarkably similar (and cheaper) alternatives at Walmart. When comparing your home goods, consider the materials and dimensions to ensure you're actually saving.
It's a smart reminder that sometimes the best upgrades don't require splurging and instead just knowing the right tricks. Consider this a popular Walmart hack for giving your space that high-end feel without draining your budget.
