I’m an interior designer — here are 8 things I’d absolutely get at Pottery Barn right now

The curtains at Pottery Barn feel high-quality but don’t come with a hefty price tag.

If I could recommend one thing from Pottery Barn, it would have to be the store’s curtains. Custom, high-quality curtains that perfectly fit into a space are hard to come by, especially if I’m trying to avoid a high price tag. 

Many designers opt for custom-made curtains, which can sometimes cost between $1,500 to $4,000 per window. But, in my opinion, the curtains at Pottery Barn have a quality that rivals custom-made ones — and they typically cost about $150 to $500 per window.

The store carries window treatments that suit almost every style, from light, airy linen options to full blackout curtains. My favorites are the Belgian flax linen curtains, which have a worn-in look and feel.

Even better, the retailer sells adjustable rods that fit the width of a window without looking like they came from a big-box store.

The York slope deep-seat slipcovered sofa is both elegant and comfy.
I love the texture of the Fenton woven-leather dining chair.

These Fenton woven-leather dining chairs offer a modern and classic look.

I love it when neutral-colored chairs use textures and patterns to add interest and detail to the overall design. These chairs are sleek, comfortable, and seem built to last.

I’d pair them with a dark antique dining-room table. 

I’m a huge fan of the selection of lamps at Pottery Barn.
The Toscana extending dining table is both beautiful and practical.

I like beautiful spaces, but I love practicality even more. Durable, elegant foundation pieces get a gold star in my design book.

The Toscana extending dining table gives spaces a Tuscan-farmhouse touch with X-shaped legs and a distressed top that adds extra detail.

It comes in a range of finishes, including vintage amber, Tuscan chestnut, gray wash, seadrift, and dusty charcoal. 

The Remmy swivel armchair looks cozy and comfortable.
The accessories at Pottery Barn can add charm to a room.

If you ask me, the accessories section in Pottery Barn never misses. Whether I’m searching for antique-looking pots, ceramic vases, vintage candle holders, or paper-mache bowls, I can’t go wrong.

Although some accessories are on the pricier side, I think of them as investment pieces. After all, details matter, and accessories can make or break a room.

I like to put fresh eucalyptus in Pottery Barn’s vintage-looking pots to create a beautiful statement piece. 

The Pismo reclaimed-wood console desk can serve as a chic workspace.
I love how versatile the Pismo reclaimed-wood console desk is.

I love to place a console table behind couches with an exposed back to anchor the space and add visual interest.

The Pismo reclaimed-wood console desk has two drawers, which can help minimize the inevitable clutter of any entryway table or workstation. I just love a beautiful piece of furniture with versatility.
