Level Up Your Home Decor: An Expert’s Guide to Hobby Lobby Must-Haves (and What to Skip!)
Shopping at Hobby Lobby can be a delightful adventure, a treasure hunt for the perfect piece to spruce up your living space. But with aisles overflowing with options, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
Fear not, design enthusiasts and budget-savvy shoppers! We’ve got the inside scoop on how to navigate the decor giant like a pro.
L.A.-based interior decorator and home stager Ana Egger, known on Instagram as @stagedby.ana.egger, recently dished on her top picks and definite no-gos from Hobby Lobby. Her advice is a game-changer for anyone looking to elevate their home without breaking the bank.
Here are the items Egger says are worth snagging:
1. Mirrors
Hobby Lobby boasts an impressive collection of mirrors, including some truly stunning dupes of high-end designer pieces. Egger raves about a 7-foot mirror that’s a dead ringer for a popular Anthropologie model, but you’ll find a mirror for every style and space.
These reflective beauties, like an affordable option under $65, aren’t just for checking your reflection; they act as fantastic statement pieces. Imagine one gracing your bathroom, perched elegantly on a console table, or even as the focal point of an entire room.
2. Decorative Bowls
Looking to add a touch of sophistication to your entryway or coffee table? Hobby Lobby’s decorative bowls are a fantastic choice. Ana highlights a black wooden bowl that effortlessly blends with various aesthetics, perfect for layering against kitchen backsplashes or adorning built-in shelves.
We’re particularly smitten with a light gray option that rings in at a mere $16.99.
3. Vases and Sculptural Pieces
When it comes to vases and sculptural elements, Hobby Lobby offers a diverse array. Egger’s pro tip?
Go big! Look for larger pieces that make a statement without cluttering your space.
“Avoid small decorative pieces,” Egger advises. “They’re just going to look random in a space and make it feel cluttered.” So, ditch the tiny trinkets and opt for something with presence.
4. Cutting Boards
Hobby Lobby’s selection of cutting boards isn’t just functional; it’s stylish too! Egger suggests opting for larger boards, as they add a substantial visual element to your kitchen decor.
The best part? These items are often priced more affordably than similar options at other retailers. Case in point: an acacia board for less than $10.
The Bottom Line
Smart shopping at Hobby Lobby is all about making strategic investments. Mirrors, decorative bowls, larger vases, and chic cutting boards are all excellent purchases that can elevate your home decor without draining your wallet. Egger’s golden rule: steer clear of smaller, less impactful items that can contribute to a cluttered look.
Ultimately, investing in your home means focusing on essential, quality, and timeless pieces. This approach ensures your hard-earned money goes toward enduring style, not fleeting trends.
