Anthropologie is one of my all-time favorite home decor brands. No, really — if I was forced to choose one retailer at which to shop for the rest of my life, I'd know my answer in seconds. Anthro all the way.
Given this enduring and lifelong obsession, it should come as no shock that I am quite enthralled with and knowledgable about the brand's home-related product offerings. Indeed, I've spent many hours perusing its stylish shelves for plates and pillows, and probably even more time scrolling online, where I'm endlessly impressed by its even larger selection and colorful, trendy offerings.
Like any editor, though, I have my favorites, some of which I nailed down during a recent in-store visit (I like to take frequent trips just to get a sense of what I'm writing about. It makes recommending things even easier!). Below, find a current round-up of what I'm loving the most, including accent chairs, sofas, and more.
I'll also be updating the Anthropologie sale page as and when there are new sales, so be sure to bookmark it for easy access to all the best deals and highlights.
Anthropologie's Best Lights
Anthropologie's lighting section is particularly enticing — unexpected little gems that (literally) glow with personality and style.
You can view the full Anthropologie lighting section here.
Price: $1098
Dimensions: 12"H, 36"D
Remarkably shallow from top to bottom, this is a rare statement light that could work well in a low-ceilinged space. The small drop size is ideal for an apartment.
Price: $998
Dimensions: 15.5"H, 32.5"L, 20.5"W
Handcrafted with stunning capiz, this delicate chandelier would look so lovely hanging above your dining room table. Soft and serene.
Price: $248
Dimensions: 18"H, 12"D
I've mentioned this before, but it's still very true that rattan is the perfect emulsifier, uniquely able to blend colorful or vibrant pieces together seamlessly. Unsurprisingly, this rattan table lamp proves itself up to the job.
Price: $248
Dimensions: 17.25"H, 13.25"W, 10.5"D
Such an elegant shape! I can't decide if this is the dream desk lamp to work next to, or the exact light I want to read under in my favorite accent chair. Perhaps it's both? I want one for every room.
Price: $788
Dimensions: 52.5"H, 10"D
According to current lighting trends, illuminated corners are in; overhead lights are out. This slim, 2-bulbed model adds an art deco-inspired pool of light to your chosen corner (and room) while taking up little space itself.
Price: $898
Dimensions: 65"H, 21"D
I'm not sure I'd have predicted that I'd ever be lusting after a peach crushed velvet floor lamp, but that's the beauty of Anthropologie. It takes the unexpected and serves it in a way that fits into a minimaluxe scheme.
Anthropologie's Best Furniture
Many of my favorite designers — Noa Santos, Olga Ashby, Brigette Romanek — are using soft colors and rounded textures right now. Such tones create infinitely liveable spaces that invite you to take your shoes off and relax. That's the vibe of much of Anthro's furniture, too — an elevated take on design.
You can view Anthropologie's full furniture collection here.
Price: $998
Dimensions: 28.5"H, 25.5"W, 31"D
I'm assuming this chair is a lot more comfy than it looks — the back support hits the lumber at just the right place to feel a bit like a massage. And I'm a big believer in using an unusual chair to fill an empty corner; it invites the perfect moment of pause.
Price: $898
Dimensions: 30"H, 29.25"W, 34"D
if 2024 has taught me anything, it's that boucle is going nowhere. Its pillowy texture makes you feel safe and cosseted — and this reading chair would look great opposite a curved sofa.
Price: $2698
Dimensions: 33"H, 79"W, 43"D
The striped couches trend will certainly stick around, as deckchair prints evoke that vacation feel we all crave. A primrose boucle version is the softest approach to this joyful aesthetic.
Price: From $2698
Dimensions: 32.5"H, 98"W, 48"D
Curved sofas invite friends to sit sociably and conversationally. This asymmetrical couch is also available in 11 other color options. Definitely a fabulous pick for a sitting or parlor room!
Price: $1598
Dimensions: 15.25"H, 38"D
Organic, modern shapes like this rounded tabletop and its orb-like base can only soften a living room. No hard edges, no hard feelings. Simple.
Price: $1598
Dimensions: 15"H, 36"D
Fluted finishes on cabinets are dominating as a current kitchen trend. They create an interesting interplay of shadows as sunlight changes throughout the day. This elevated table brings in that same look and feel seamlessly.
Anthropologie's Best Home Decor
I often like to browse Anthropologie's new-in accessories section for inspiration. The dominance is particularly strong when it comes to collections of vases and candlesticks, though its area rugs are some of the softest available at this price level.
You can view all of Anthropologie's home decor here.
Price: $22
Dimensions: 4.75"H, 5.25"D
With an irregular, careworn, and handmade appearance, this striking silhouette would look just as good empty on a mantle as it would filled with flowers.
Price: $78
Dimensions: 9"H, 12"L, 5.5"W
Listen — a vase is just as much an opportunity for showstopping design as it is a vessel for fresh blooms. This ceramic option is more an elegant statue than anything, but imagine just how elegant it would look with fresh greenery or colorful tulips inside. What's more, customers seem to really agree.
Price: $298
Dimensions: 3'x5'
With its show-stopping floral pattern, this hand-tufted accent rug proves that sometimes bolder is better, especially in a room in need of some livening up.
Price: $298
Size: 3'X5'
Of course, I would also love to see this abstract Anthropologie rug under a round coffee table or in front of a curved sofa. One of the best rugs on the market right now.
Price: $14.95
Was: $22
Works of beauty in their own right (and sitting seamlessly next to Anthropologie's holiday decor), I'd happily strew these down the middle of a dining table, watching the pretty plays of light they'd cause.
Of course, Anthropologie has so much more on offer than just my edit, and you can view all of Anthropologie new home arrivals here.
