35 DIY Pottery Barn Knockoffs That Let You Decorate Your Home For Less

Modified: Feb 15, 2019 by Vanessa Beaty · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

One of my favorite things is decorating. Of course, that doesn’t always come at a cheap price. I find that Pottery Barn often has the look that I want, but who can afford to shop their catalog for all of their home décor? I do love Pottery Barn but I also love saving money, so what’s a girl to do? Well, I’m glad you asked. Recently, I started looking for ways to decorate on a budget and still get that great Pottery Barn look. What I found are 35 DIY Pottery Barn knockoffs that you can make that will let you decorate your home for less.

35 DIY Pottery Barn Knockoffs That Let You Decorate Your Home For LessI absolutely love a good knockoff. Have you seen these 32 brilliant Anthropologie knockoffs? You can get the exact home décor that you want without spending a small fortune in doing so. Knockoffs are great because they give you the same look that you want but since you are DIYing them, they save you a bundle. Whether you want a new kitchen, something pretty to hang in the den or you want to completely redo your bedroom, I guarantee that there is a Pottery Barn DIY knockoff in here that is going to do the trick, and you are going to save so much money by making them yourself!

From headboards to chandeliers and even a great wine bottle sleeve, you will find so many wonderful DIY Pottery Barn knockoffs in this list. You can make these for your own home or create them to give away as gifts. No one will know that they didn’t come from Pottery Barn. And, if you want to give your old furniture a nice new look to match your new Pottery Barn DIYs, be sure to check out these 25 restoration hacks to turn old items new again.
