If you like Ikea’s minimalist aesthetic, sleek design, and basic storage solutions, you’ll love Japanese retailer Muji. This store is basically like if Uniqlo and Ikea had a baby. It sells products for the home like furniture, bedding, shelving, baskets, and kitchen tools, but also makes basic clothing and travel goods.

Pricing: Shelving ranges from $23 to $525, and baskets and small organizing items range from $2 to $60.

2. Scandinavian Design

Scandinavian Designs is a grown-up version of Ikea, which is perfect for anyone who invests in some of Ikea’s better-quality pieces. Its prices are higher, but it has some incredible sales that put its furniture at average Ikeas prices — with higher-quality construction. The three-seater couch above was originally $1,299 and is now half the price at $649 and comes in two shades of gray.

Pricing: Decorative objects range from $9 to $200, and its living room clearancesection ranges from $49 to $3,500.

3. CB2

If you like Ikea’s more sophisticated pieces, CB2 is the place for you. It has a ton of gorgeous furniture, but the real gold of this store is in its home decor and organization. CB2 is Crate and Barrel’s sister store, so you can pretty much expect everything you need for your home but at a lower price (you can get a set of eight glasses for $14!).

Pricing: Furniture runs for $60 to $3,200, and all home decor/accessories run from $1 to $500.

4. Fab

If you love Ikea for its wacky patterned decor, clever gadgets, and basic shelving, you’ll love Fab. It carres a ton of decor, lighting, kitchen gadgets, bedding, and pretty much everything home-related. Most of its stuff is fun and funky, but you’ll also find some basic furniture similar to Ikea’s.

Pricing: Products for the home range from $11 to $590.

5. Lulu & Georgia

If you are a fan of the interplay of textures, colors, layers and materials often seen in Ikea catalogs and showrooms, you’ll love this store. It’s a little bit pricier, but products stay true to the mix-and-match feel of Ikea’s home wares. You’ll find everything from lighting to wall decor to shelving and textiles.

Pricing: Home decor ranges from $7 to $750, and furniture ranges from $116 to $3,797.

6. AllModern

If you like the way Ikea perfectly combines sleek, modern pieces with more traditional shapes and colors, you’ll love AllModern. It’s basically where all of Wayfair.com hosts its modern furniture, decor, and kitchen items — so all products are discounted from their original price. Items are offered at pretty much every price point.

Pricing: Sofas start at $174, and decor ranges from $9 to $2,000.

7. Urban Outfitters

If you like Ikea’s more boho, textural offerings (think sheepskin rugs and woven chairs), you’ll love Urban’s “Apartment” section. Urban is definitely more boho-vintage inspired, but similar to Ikea, it carries some amazing pieces that will really open up your eyes to a whole new world of styling techniques. Urban offers everything from furniture to shelving, kitchen wares, rugs, textiles, and decor.

Pricing: Furniture ranges from $40 to $2,200, and art/decor ranges from $4 to $600.

Pricing: Furniture ranges from $24 to $4,500, and decor ranges from $5 to $1,900.

9. Cost Plus World Market

If you love Ikea’s reasonably priced rugs, colorful patters, and Swedish food section, you’ll love Cost Plus World Market.
