A deeper set mid-century modern couch from Joybird.

We all love West Elm for its midcentury modern aesthetic. Over the years, the brand has become extraordinarily popular for its selection of minimal furniture with a vintage feel, and it seems like everyone and their funky mom bought the same blush velvet armchair and went through the same “Peggy couch” phase (followed by, of course, the “getting a refund for the Peggy couch” phase).

While West Elm may seem like the obvious destination for sleek, eye-catching and nostalgic home furnishings, we promise you it’s not the only one. There are a multitude of online shops offering clean-lined modern furniture that’s affordable and stylish.

If you’re not looking to spend enormous sums of money on a couch, allow us to clue you in to the plethora of budget-friendly retailers to buy mid-century modern furniture and home decor. You may even find some steals at discount home decor sites. On the other hand, if you’re in the market for a true luxury piece, there are plenty of elevated destination for masterfully crafted, gorgeous furniture that will stand the test of taste and time.

To help you decorate a new place or spruce up your beloved home, we’ve pulled together a list of furniture stores similar to West Elm where you can buy modern furniture in an array of styles, colors and prices.

For the purpose of this roundup, we focused on sofas and love seats, but each retailer features home design products ranging from decor pieces like throw pillows and rugs to furniture like bookshelves, end tables and more.
