Get the Crate & Barrel Look for Less? Target Has You Covered!
Crate & Barrel has long been the go-to for upscale home goods, famous for its “vignette” displays that make you feel like you’re walking through a dream home. But let’s be real, with prices for everything climbing faster than a squirrel up an oak tree, those dream home price tags are becoming a nightmare for many budgets.
Good news, savvy shoppers! Your favorite red bullseye retailer, Target, is coming to the rescue with a treasure trove of “dupes” that are practically identical to Crate & Barrel’s offerings, but at a fraction of the cost. Get ready to transform your space without emptying your wallet!

The Best Crate & Barrel Dupes We Found at Target:
1. The Acacia Wood Cutting Board: Slice & Dice for Less!
Target Price: $35
This butcher block-style cutting board from Target is a dead ringer for Crate & Barrel’s version, which sells for a hefty $84.95. While Target’s board is slightly thinner (1.25 inches vs. 1.75 inches) and boasts a double-sided cutting option, you’re getting a whole lot of style for significantly less.
2. Marble Bathroom Accessories: Luxe for a Little!
Target Price: $45 (4-piece set)
Want to add a touch of spa-like luxury to your bathroom? Target’s 4-piece white marble accessory set – complete with a soap dispenser, toothbrush holder, lidded canister, and soap dish – will do the trick. Compare that to Crate & Barrel’s expanded 7-piece Tuscan Beige Marble Bath Collection, where just the soap pump alone costs $39.95, and the full set is a staggering $374.65!
3. Cross Stitch Quilt Set by Levtex Home: Cozy Comfort, Smart Price!
Target Price: $149.99
A plain white cotton quilt from Crate & Barrel (the Celeste Organic Cotton Quilt) will set you back $279.95, thanks to its organic cotton and handcrafted quilting. Target’s quilt set, however, offers a remarkably similar aesthetic for half the price and even includes a matching pillow sham. Plus, its “inspired” hand-stitching techniques mean it’s likely more machine-wash friendly – a win for busy households!
4. Beckett Nightstand: Madison Park: Sweet Dreams, Sweet Deal!
Target Price: $161.99
When it comes to the Beckett Madison Park nightstand from Target and Crate & Barrel’s Jenny Lind Wood Spindle Nightstand, the differences are so minimal it’s hard to justify the latter’s $449 price tag. That extra $287 primarily gets you solid ash wood legs instead of rubberwood and slightly different dimensions. Both offer that charming spindle design!
5. Beautypeak Arched Full Length Mirror: Reflecting Savings!
Target Price: $135.92 (on sale from $159.83)
Every bedroom deserves a full-length mirror, but Crate & Barrel’s black arch floor mirror will cost you $499. While it’s a bit larger (76 inches by 32 inches) than Target’s (71 inches by 26 inches), an extra 30 square inches doesn’t seem worth an additional $400, does it?
6. Calphalon Ceramic Fry Pan Combo: Cook Smart, Save Big!
Target Price: $59.99 (on sale from $72.99)
Teflon-coated pans are out, ceramic nonstick is in! Crate & Barrel offers a high-quality set of two Zwilling frying pans for $179.95. While a passionate chef might appreciate the titanium plasma primer, most home cooks will be perfectly happy with Target’s plain grey set of the same design, at a fraction of the cost.
7. Over the Sink (Roll Away) Dish Drainer: Dry Dishes, Dry Wallet!
Target Price: $20
Target’s roll-up dish rack features exposed stainless steel, while Crate & Barrel’s version, at $39.95, is fully coated in silicone. Is that extra silicone worth nearly double the price? This clever, space-saving design is a win for small kitchens either way.
8. Plank+Beam Solid Wood Modern Coffee Table: Centerpiece Steal!
Target Price: $169.99 (on sale from $202.80)
Who doesn’t love an elegantly simple, chunky solid wood coffee table? Crate & Barrel’s solid white oak Terra Natural table (54 inches) comes with a hefty $1,149 price tag. Target’s nearly identical table is slightly smaller (40 inches) and constructed from solid pine, keeping the price wonderfully reasonable.
9. Warwick Library Cabinet by Threshold: Stylish Storage, Smart Savings!
Target Price: $400
The trendy combination of wick and wood is a hot look, and Target delivers with its Warwick Library Cabinet. Crate & Barrel’s Blake Teak and Rattan 2-Door Storage Cabinet is quite similar, but the price difference is almost $1,200! While the Crate & Barrel option boasts mostly teak construction and rattan-mesh doors, Target’s version still features a hardwood frame and offers a similar aesthetic at a more approachable height of 52 inches (compared to 64 inches).
10. Paper Floor Lamp Natural Wood by Room Essentials: Light Up Your Life, Not Your Budget!
Target Price: $50
A tall cylindrical paper shade set on a wooden leg base adds instant elegance to any room’s lighting. Crate & Barrel’s Toro Wood Floor Lamp, with its woven paper rattan shade, will cost you $399. Target’s version, made from a less durable paper shade with a lightly ridged design, offers a similar look for a fraction of the cost.
11. Jennifer Taylor Home Oxford Leather Mid-Century Modern Accent Chair: Sit Pretty, Pay Less!
Target Price: $624.99 (on sale from $970.18)
Target’s accent chair offers an identical design with a rubberwood frame and premium black leather upholstery on removable cushions. Crate & Barrel’s Henning design features a different leather color and semi-attached cushions on a solid oak frame (with some engineered wood), but that brings the price tag up to a staggering $1,899. Your wallet will thank you for choosing Target!
12. Ceramic Fall Pumpkin Cream by Threshold: Autumn Accents, Budget-Friendly!
Target Price: $10
Every home needs a classic ceramic pumpkin for fall decor. Crate & Barrel would have you paying $69.95 for a plain cream version. While it is 10 inches tall compared to Target’s 8-inch option, that hardly justifies a nearly $60 price increase for a seasonal decorative item!
13. Uncaged Ergonomics Rise Up Essential Electric Standing Desk: Stand Tall, Save Big!
Target Price: $279.99
Joining the standing desk trend? Target offers a fantastic deal on a fully electric standing desk with four memory settings, making transitions from sitting to standing a breeze. Crate & Barrel’s slightly larger desktop from Humanscale is otherwise nearly identical but costs $768.
14. Modern Oversized Loveseat Sofa: Lounge in Luxury, Affordably!
Target Price: $359.99 (on sale from $559.99)
Target’s modern white loveseat is a near-perfect aesthetic match for Crate & Barrel’s much pricier Axis Sofa, which regularly sells for $2,199. While the higher price tag at Crate & Barrel does get you superior construction with a kiln-dried hardwood frame and polyfoam cushioning wrapped in a feather-down blend, Target offers a strikingly similar look for significantly less.
The Bottom Line: Your Dream Home, Your Budget
Creating that coveted Crate & Barrel aesthetic in your home doesn’t require a high-end budget. The secret to successful “dupe” shopping lies in identifying the features that matter most to you and finding clever, inexpensive alternatives for the rest. Target, with its wide array of groceries, home essentials, and now these fantastic high-end-looking home accents, truly is a one-stop shop for convenience and savings.
