When you think of Pottery Barn, you don't immediately think of outdoor furniture. Your mind probably jumps more so to living room sofas and chairs; bedroom curtains and drapes; and the occasional piece of dining decor. And that's entirely fair. I have shopped at Pottery Barn for all of those items and can attest to their quality, style, and price point.

But Pottery Barn — one of a few brands under the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. umbrella — is also one of the best brands for garden furniture, too. Indeed, even if you wouldn't immediately think so, this classic retailer knows how to craft a rain-resistant rug, a rust-proof sofa frame, and a piece of garden decor so fun and funky you almost forget it came from a store with one foot in the world of New England prep. To that end, their collection also has a little something for everyone. If you're partial to simple, modern finishes — like aluminum, metal, and wavy silhouettes — there is plenty to choose from. But if you're in more of a coastal grandma era of life, trust that you'll have your pick of the litter, as well.

Below, I took a peek at the entire outdoor collection and highlighted 12 pieces I believe are worth shopping for style, practicality, and overall vibe. Let's jump in.

FAQs

Is Pottery Barn Outdoor Furniture Good Quality?

Although I'd love you to take my word for it, I understand if you're still not convinced that Pottery Barn is a good place to shop for outdoor pieces. That's why I asked the experts.

"In my experience, Pottery Barn outdoor furniture delivers strong, reliable quality — especially for homeowners looking for pieces that balance durability with a refined aesthetic," Kerrie Kelly, CEO and creative director at Kerrie Kelly Studio, tells me.

"I have several pieces in my own home that have held up beautifully year-round for multiple seasons, including chaises, dining chairs, and a double chaise in their Torrey Wicker collection. The construction feels thoughtful and substantial, and when paired with their covers, the longevity is even more impressive."

Better yet, "it’s also dependable in terms of consistency. What you see is what you get, which is important when specifying for clients who want both performance and polish," Kerrie continues.

"It may not be the most bespoke option on the market, but it’s a very strong choice for approachable luxury that performs well over time."

What Style is Pottery Barn Outdoor Furniture?

Pottery Barn has a little of everything, though it is "well suited to a few key styles: California chic, coastal, traditional, transitional, and organic modern," explains Amy Konarzycki, owner and principal designer at Studio AK.

"You can order the base pieces in neutral shades and add accent pieces — like toss cushions — in your preferred color palette. The clean-lined pieces go well with transitional and modern spaces, whereas the pieces with curved silhouettes lean more traditional."

Adds Judith-Chandler Quintreel, founder of Judith-Chandler Interiors: "You'll see a lot of weathered teak, thick woven wicker, and oversized silhouettes that are built to feel cozy and inviting instead of formal."

When Pottery Barn landed in the UK late last year, I was, of course, excited about the massive sofas, the faux flowers (seriously, go check them out), the cushions, the lamps, and the vases (among other things) — but I quickly learned about another of the brand's best-sellers: its bedding.

Considering Livingetc has made it our mission to discover all the best places to buy bedding, I took one for the team and offered to try Pottery Barn's Belgian Linen Flax Duvet Cover (I know, what a martyr). Now, why the linen, you ask? Well, full disclosure: I used to work for a linen brand, so I have strong feelings about the natural fiber, and felt I was best suited to put Pottery Barn's to the test.

So, how did it stack up? Linen bedding can be a divisive subject. Some love its relaxed, crumpled aesthetic and subtle textured feel. Others despise it. Thankfully, Pottery Barn's linen arrived much softer than others I've slept in. The fabric often requires a 'break-in' period and a certain number of washes before it starts to soften (this one didn't), and the general rule is that it will continue to soften with every wash after that. So, safe to say, it was a good start. Find out how it fared and all my thoughts below.

Is Pottery Barn's Linen Bedding Good Quality?

There is a lot you can garner about good-quality bedding the second you pull it out of its packaging (and well before you get underneath it). The first, of course, is a touch test — the softness of the fibers is important, as you'll soon be getting very up close and personal with it.

Pottery Barn's Belgian Flax Linen Duvet Cover felt good; slightly brushed thanks to the pre-wash it gets (more on that later), which gave it instant softness. Inspecting the inner seams, things all looked neat and tidy, and I discovered it had internal ties in each corner to help secure your duvet in place; a big tick in my books.

Along the bottom edge, it's got a row of buttons, which have been cleverly concealed within the seam. It's also made from 100% Belgian flax, which is where you want linen bedding to be from. So, in terms of first impressions, I'm impressed.

How Is Pottery Barn's Linen Bedding to Sleep In?

As I mentioned, Pottery Barn's Belgian Flax Linen Duvet Cover felt soft straight out of the box. Why is that significant? Well, at the beginning, linen is an incredibly coarse fabric, which is why it has traditionally been able to be handed down through generations, getting softer with each and every wash as the fibers slowly break down.

These days, brands 'prewash' linen bedding to speed up this aging process (sometimes as much as 50 years), so that it's super soft as soon as you get it. While it means linen bedding typically doesn't last a lifetime anymore (you can still expect to get a good few years out of it, just like other bedding), it does mean it's comfortable to sleep in straight away. A worthwhile trade-off, if you ask me.

One of the reasons why linen bedding is so popular where I grew up (in Australia) is that it's good in all climates and for both hot and cool sleepers. This is thanks to the natural thermoregulating and moisture-wicking properties of its hollow fibers, which let heat escape when it's hot and trap warmth when it's cold. Pottery Barn's linen bedding lived up to this, as the most comfortable set I've got on rotation right now — and it didn't even take a few washes to 'break-in'.

How Easy Is Pottery Barn's Linen Bedding to Care For?

One of the biggest downsides to this bedding set (but it's the case for every linen bedding set I've ever owned) is that the fabric tends to shed slightly when you wash it. This goes part-and-parcel with it getting softer with each wash, though.

I made this mistake of washing my new linen duvet cover with a white sheet, which ended up with dark lint all over it, but that's my bad. The Pottery Barn website recommends machine washing separately, and in cold water on a gentle cycle.

Then there is the look of linen. After washing, it will naturally dry quite crumpled, and unless you're into that 'relaxed' aesthetic (I am), you'll have to iron it. For that, Pottery Barn recommends a warm iron.

How Does Pottery Barn's Linen Bedding Rank on Style?

As I previously mentioned, when air-dried, Pottery Barn's linen bedding will look softly crumpled, but in terms of style, I quite like the 'artfully undone' look (it's a big bedding trend for 2026, too).

Color-wise, this specific set comes in nine different solid colors — including Café Noir, Chambray, Brick, and Loden — which all have a nice 'washed' finish that adds to the soft look. The brand also flags that "Color variations are inherent to natural fibers, and slight variations may occur to what is shown online for our Flax colour option," so that's worth keeping in mind, though variations will be barely noticeable.

Pottery Barn also has other linen bedding in its range that you could layer up on your bed, including a Belgian Flax Linen Diamond Quilt, Belgian Flax Linen Fringe Ruffle Pillowcases, and Belgian Flax Linen Floral Stitch Pillowcases.

Is Pottery Barn's Linen Bedding Worth It?

So, the big question. Is Pottery Barn's Belgian Linen Flax Duvet Cover worth it? I have certainly enjoyed it, that's for sure. So, perhaps the bigger question is, how does it compare to similar linen bedding on the market?

Pottery Barn, interestingly, offers only two sizes in its duvet covers: Double/King and Super King. I guess that's because you can (in fact, I recommend) sizing up to a King cover for a double bed, so the duvet drapes nicely over the edge.

So, comparing King-sized 100% linen duvet covers, something similar will usually cost £200 at Bed Threads (currently £170), and £209 at Piglet in Bed (currently £167). Piglet in Bed also has a Linen Blend option that's even cheaper. Pottery Barn's linen bedding is, therefore, on the slightly more expensive side, but I still think it's a worthwhile investment if you're considering it.

Since Pottery Barn launched in the UK, I've found myself scrolling its pages every chance I get. There's nothing quite as exciting as new. And with hosting season in full swing, you bet I went straight to its tabletop range.

If you're unfamiliar with the Pottery Barn style, I think it's fair to say that a lot of its decor has a traditional American style, and it might not be exactly your style if you've got more contemporary taste in homes. But don't tune out yet. Because hidden amongst the florals and tucked under the tartan, I found something so good it made me do a double-take.

'Wait, is that Dior?' I thought to myself as I scrolled past Pottery Barn's toile dinnerware collection. And while the fashion house may have made the pattern popular more recently, it certainly doesn't own it. In fact, its origins date back to the eighteenth century in France. So, while you could spend £110 on one plate to get the look... £69 for a dinnerware set of four certainly feels like an enticing option, too.

While traditionally, toile prints depicted pastoral scenes and whimsical vignettes from the French countryside (where it was made popular by Christophe-Philipe Oberkampf in 1760), today, designers often play with the motifs, broadening their horizons while keeping to the simple, single-colored aesthetic the style is defined by.

Case in point: Pottery Barn's range, which features Americana-esque depictions inspired by designer Brandon Maxwell's childhood growing up in Texas. There are swings, treehouses, a bucking bronco, and even his beloved pet bulldog, Stella, makes an appearance. It doesn't just capture the whimsy and storied side of toile, but also neatly taps into that 'cowboy cool' aesthetic that has proliferated most of 2025.

And it's that detail — not just the price, though it definitely helps — that actually makes me lean towards Pottery Barn's plates over Dior's design. Plus the fact that there's a whole complete range I could complement the plates with, including the below.

Is the toile pattern growing on you? Well, the good news is that it's not just for dinnerware. In fact, it started as a fabric and is better known as toile bedding. So why not cover your whole home in it?

When our editor, Hugh Metcalf, first wrote about the news that Pottery Barn would be launching in the UK, he rightly pointed out that for the majority of British people, the iconic homewares brand will most likely have been introduced to them via a particular episode of Friends called The One With the Apothecary Table.

For those not in the know, it's where Rachel tricks Phoebe, someone with a less mainstream design taste, into shopping at the store. And, what it did in the process, Hugh says, "Was set up Pottery Barn, globally, as a shop that's associated with Rachel's undoubtedly very chic style."

As one of America's best-known home decor stores — which is actually blocked to UK traffic (unless you have a VPN, like we do, having covered the US interiors market for years) — the Pottery Barn UK site officially launched today, and we are more than a little bit excited. No less because we originally understood the UK site was going to be a 'curated' selection of the main Pottery Barn US offering, but it seems to be a much more extensive edit.

For a little more Pottery Barn context, the brand is part of the Williams-Sonoma Group, which you may have come across before through the West Elm store, and also Pottery Barn Kids, which has been available in the UK for some time, offering nursery and kids' room furniture, toys, rugs, and bed linen.

Of the Pottery Barn UK launch, president Monica Bhargava says: "Whether furnishing a new flat, refreshing a family home, or entertaining with family and friends or thoughtful gifting, we are proud to be providing the UK market with thoughtfully designed pieces that meet the needs of modern living.”

With plenty of natural materials, gorgeous textures, and a leaning towards neutral color schemes, Pottery Barn UK's autumn collection launch is packed with timeless yet contemporary pieces that will suit all spaces, small and large — from furniture, rugs, and bedding, to lighting, home decor, and more. Here is a selection of my favorites that you can shop right now.

For more new homewares releases you may have missed, our design writer, Olivia Wolfe, has you covered.

The notion of making furniture safer, more comfortable, and easier to use seems like a no-brainer. After all, about 61 million adults live with a disability, and the overwhelming majority of US adults plan to age in place. Yet, how many homeware brands offer accessible collections? Inarguably, not enough.

That's changing for Pottery Barn, who has collaborated with Michael Graves Design (MGD) to launch a collection of inclusive furniture that’s as stylish as it is functional. MGD’s mission is simple: enhancement. Their designs are celebrated for accessibility — earning them the title of Most Accessible Design Brand — without ever sacrificing elegance. Partnering with Pottery Barn, a brand known for elevating the everyday living (and the amazing Pottery Barn sale), this collaboration is a match made in heaven.

But, taking this back to grammar school: what does “accessibility” really mean? It’s become quite the buzzword, so I asked MGD executives for clarity. According to MGD President, Donald Strum, Michael Graves Design strives for accessibility in all its forms: physical, cognitive, and financial. After all, what’s the point of creating beautifully inclusive items if no one can afford them?

Think stunning materials, finishes, and silhouettes that also happen to include safer mobility touchpoints, enhanced seating options, adjustable lounge seating for ergonomic comfort, and integrated storage solutions.

Embracing MGD’s “Design for All” ethos, the Pottery Barn collection focuses on four essential furniture pieces: bed frames with integrated armrests, pull & roll side grips, and built-in benches; nightstands with raised edges, integrated power strips, and easy-access pulls; ADA-compliant dressers with easy-to-use drawer pulls and grab rails for safety; and armchairs with customizable foot risers and rear grab rails.

This collection, which extends Pottery Barn’s best-selling bedroom lines — Sausalito, Cayman, and Farmhouse — is incredibly versatile, ranging from chic and global to more minimalist styles. With a neutral color palette, it’s hard to imagine a home or aesthetic these pieces wouldn’t complement.

“With Michael Graves Design’s experience in accessible design, and Pottery Barn's strategic advantages related to quality, style, distribution and price for home furnishings, this collaboration leverages what each party does best in ways that neither brand could achieve on its own,” muses MGD Chief Design Officer, Rob Van Varick.

The partnership between Michael Graves Design and Pottery Barn is just the beginning — this collection is here to stay. We can now look forward to a future filled with elegant homewares that evolve with us, seamlessly blending style and accessibility to make everyday life a little more beautiful. The only question left is, as MGD Chief Executive Officer Ben Wintner puts it, is "What took so long?!?"

What is the Michael Graves Design for Pottery Barn testing process?

When it comes to creating accessible designs, testing is crucial. After all, the best insights come from those who actually use the products.

In 2003, when renowned architect and designer Michael Graves became paralyzed, he became the brand’s first real-life tester, providing invaluable feedback to refine and improve each product. Since then, the brand has, according to MGD executives, “engaged in hundreds upon hundreds of hours of ethnographic research,” working with older adults, people with disabilities, and their caregivers to observe and understand their daily lives.

Now, partnering with Pottery Barn, MGD has taken this rigorous process to new heights. They conducted Consumer Preference Testing involving older adults, people with permanent disabilities (like wheelchair users and those with Parkinson's), temporary disabilities (such as sports injuries or surgical recovery), and situational disabilities (like holding a baby or a laundry basket). These participants interacted with “works-like” prototypes, allowing the design team to observe, conduct A/B testing, and refine the final products based on real user feedback.

This collection isn’t just designed for customers — it’s designed with them.

In the realm of home design, few pieces are as versatile, timeless, and genuinely game-changing as the mirror. If a room is lacking that certain je ne sais quoi, I'd bet a wall mirror would solve the problem. If you're in desperate need of a way to maximize a smaller space, a floor mirror would look good, amplify things visually, and increase the perceived size of the room. In the biz, we call that a win-win-win.

Of course, not all mirrors are created equal. Sure, they're all reflective, but in terms of style, it's worth investing, and for that, you can't beat Pottery Barn's mirrors (now in the UK, too!) Its options aren't cheap — expect to pay upwards of $300 a pop — but the trade-off is dependable quality, excellent customer service, and an easy shopping experience, both in-store and online. (Trust me, I've tried it.)

Planning to decorate with mirrors? I've spent some serious time perusing Pottery Barn's many, many options, and below I've shared 12 styles that stood out most for style, versatility, reviews, and overall wow-factor. I took extra care to include a bit of everything, so I'm confident that no matter your personal taste, you'll find something here that speaks to you. Now, onward — it's time to reflect.

12 Pottery Barn Mirrors to Shop

Are Pottery Barn Mirrors Good Quality?

Absolutely. Sure, there will be mistakes with any mass-market retailer — and Pottery Barn, despite its best efforts to distance itself from that categorization, still is one. But by and large, you can count on a quality, well-made product when you shop here. (And returns are available in the event of faults.)

There are great and frequent sales, during which you can buy more expensive items at steep discounts, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a person who doesn't have at least one good thing to say about the brand.

As a helpful anecdote: I actually had an error with a Pottery Barn order quite recently, and although I was frustrated, customer service rectified the problem swiftly and without much pushing. I walked away pleased.

How Should I Style My Pottery Barn Mirror?

A loaded question! And to be honest, there is no one answer — where you place your mirror depends on your space and your goals within it. If you're looking to create a focal point in the room, "Hang a mirror above a mantelpiece or console table to anchor the space and draw attention," says interior designer Nina Lichtenstein. You could also place it near "light sources to amplify brightness and distribute light evenly," she adds.

When it comes to pairing mirrors with other mirrors, Nina advises mixing and matching shapes. Don’t be afraid to experiment with combinations of round, rectangular, or oval mirrors. Doing so adds ample "visual interest and contrast" to your scheme.

And most importantly, remember to think about the mirror’s reflection. Try situating your mirror across from or near eye-catching architectural details, artwork, or statement decor pieces to amplify their beauty.

Now that you have the mirror taken care of, figure out how best to ground your space by shopping these Pottery Barn rugs.

The word ‘throw’ in ‘throw pillow’ downplays the charm of these delightful accents. They're not just for tossing onto a couch; they're little bursts of visual interest, adding a touch of flair with minimal time, effort, or investment. Need a quick room refresh? A Pottery Barn pillow is your lazy, yet stylish solution. 

From lumbar to square (even spherical!), there are a plethora of pillows to choose from — some even part of the Pottery Barn sale. Highlighting their versatility, interior designer Nina Lichtenstein notes that throw pillows ‘can inject personality and style into any room.’

Say you have moss green curtains: simply toss a matching moss green pillow onto your accent chair or couch for an instant, curated designer look. Or, go for a pop of contrasting color to liven up your space — effortless elegance either way. ‘By simply swapping out or rearranging pillows, you can completely transform the look and feel of your furniture,’ muses Nina. 

A house becomes a home when it reflects personality and offers comfort, and a throw pillow achieves both with ease. Let Pottery Barn's delightful pillow offerings transform your space into the home of your dreams.

Best Pottery Barn Pillows

How should I layer my Pottery Barn pillows?

I love this question because the only thing better than one Pottery pillow is, well, as many as possible! The more, the merrier. But before you go pillow crazy, remember that there's an art to styling them to ensure they enhance the room without overwhelming it.

Nina has five rules to layer your Pottery Barn pillows like a pro:

1. Start with a Foundation: ‘Begin with larger pillows as a base, such as 20-inch square pillows, to provide structure and support for seating,’ explains the designer.

2. Mix and Match: ‘Play with a combination of colors, patterns, and textures,' she says, adding, 'Aim for a cohesive color palette with complementary or contrasting hues.’

3. Odd Numbers: Ever heard of the rule of three? There’s something to it — odd numbers feel uniquely comforting. According to Nina, arranging pillows in odd numbers (e.g., three or five) makes for ‘a balanced and visually appealing display.’

4. Create Depth: ‘Layer pillows by alternating sizes and shapes,’ the designer advises. ‘Place larger pillows at the back and smaller ones in front to create depth and dimension.’

5. Symmetry and Balance: Nina suggests arranging ‘pillows symmetrically for a polished look,’ or doing the opposite and experimenting with asymmetry for ‘a more relaxed and eclectic feel.’

And if you’re still on the hunt for the perfect spot to house your growing throw pillow family, look no further than my selection of the top Pottery Barn sofas.

Pottery Barn is one of my favorite places to look for furniture — couches especially — but there is one glaring problem: the lack of customer reviews. As someone who relies heavily on the opinions of others while shopping, my PB habit is sustained only by my knowledge as a shopping editor and past buying experiences, which keep me confident and coming back for more. Before adding to cart, I give myself a pep talk: “This is Pottery Barn; you’re going to be fine.”

Well, since I can't be next to you for a similar pep talk, and since this order of business goes beyond what our best sofas round-up has to offer, I've taken the liberty of collating a list of 12 solid PB sofas to shop now, based on research, both in-store and online.

I spent a few hours last week visiting my local Pottery Barn and sprawling across the nine sofas available in-store to determine what I liked and what I didn’t about each, before combing through the specifications for information on frame material, cushion fill, and more. Next, I considered style and appearance, which if you’re reading Livingetc, I’d assume you value just as much as I do. And of course, I used write-ups at other home design websites along with customer reviews as yet another litmus test for quality when determining whether these pieces were safe to recommend.

As a bonus, I included three additional "honorable mentions" in this roundup with the caveat that I wasn't able to test those pieces in-store. But based on looks, word-of-mouth, and information from PB's website, I thought all three solid enough options to include here, as well. Don't forget the Pottery Barn sale, too: there's always a deal to be had on sofas.

How should I style my Pottery Barn sofa?

You might have noticed that Pottery Barn sofas keep it simple in the way of patterns, letting quality and silhouette do the talking. Turns out, this classical approach is actually a favorite of interior designer Pantea Bionki.

Keeping with the retailer’s timeless look, the designer suggests selecting "a solid fabric for the sofa itself, and then incorporating patterns and textures through throw blankets and pillows." This simple styling technique "allows for easy seasonal changes without altering the sofa," providing a "cost-effective way to refresh the look throughout the year," she explains.

Seasons come and go, but a well-chosen sofa is forever. Consider pairing it with one of Livingetc's favorite Pottery Barn coffee tables and Pottery Barn rugs — a formula for the perfect living room.

Just as the right pair of earrings or belt can turn an outfit from good to great, how you 'dress' your windows can completely transform the room. If you’re looking for something moody and sumptuous, choose a velvet curtain. If you want to add a bit of warmth and depth to a spot typically flooded with white-washing light, a solid burnt-orange or deep-brown curtain changes everything. Or, if you really just need to snooze your alarm a little longer in the morning, blockout curtains can work wonders.

And whatever your window treatment ideas entail, you'll be able to find them (and a good-looking version, at that) at Pottery Barn (that's excitingly also just launched in the UK). The beloved US brand is excellent in terms of price-for-quality, fabulous with its customer service (I've had first-hand experience), and established enough to offer both ready-to-ship and custom curtain options (because every window, and therefore curtain, is different).

Across four different categories — solid, sheer, patterned, and blackout — I've taken a look at some of my favorite Pottery Barn curtains, chosen mainly for their overall style (since its quality is so consistent), but also for the reviews (yes, there are some bestselling Pottery Barn curtains on this list, of course). So, let's get shopping, shall we?

FAQs

Are Pottery Barn Curtains Good Quality? 

One word: absolutely. Few brands boast as strong consumer sentiment as Pottery Barn, which is, without a doubt, one of America's most popular home decor brands. Yes, there will be issues here and there — it is a massive retailer, after all. But the core of the organization really does a great job of getting you to forget that.

Whether it's because of the pristine showrooms, the knowledgeable on-floor staff, or the great customer service, online and off, I'm not sure. But, in any regard, I can almost guarantee that a purchase from Pottery Barn is one you'll be happy with. I've personally shopped with Pottery Barn a lot, and have no plans to stop.

How Should I Style My Pottery Barn Curtains?

"Hang curtains as close to the ceiling as you can, leaving just an inch or so of space," advises Cheryl Eisen, real estate agent turned designer, noting that she prefers "a pinch pleat, a grommet, or a ripple fold" when shopping for Pottery Barn curtains.

Length must also be considered — how far should the hem of your curtain be from the floor? "In certain rooms, you can have the curtains pooled on the floor — but usually, it should just kiss the floor. That’s a cleaner look,’ Cheryl says.

Curtains aren't the only way you could add a little spice to your living room and bedroom decor — mirrors are a great tool, too. Luckily, I've already picked out 12 pretty Pottery Barn mirrors for you to peruse.

Dining tables witness everything from casual breakfasts to fancy dinner parties — and these days, they're pulling double duty as workstations, too. Choosing the right one is like finding a soulmate: you want timeless charm, reliability, and, perhaps most importantly, a forgiving disposition for those inevitable spills. If furniture shopping were a dating app, Pottery Barn dining tables would rack up all of the matches.

Why Pottery Barn? All the elegance without the stuffiness, the brand understands that life happens around the table — stains and all. Sure, quality comes with a price tag, but I did my best to find a few gems that won't break the bank, thanks to the current Pottery Barn sale.

According to interior designer Nina Lichtenstein, ‘The dining table serves as the focal point of the dining area, anchoring the space and setting the tone for the entire room,’ More than a central gathering spot, ‘the right dining table can transform a mundane meal into a memorable experience,’ she adds.

Whether you're a cozy twosome or a lively crowd of eight, there's a perfect Pottery Barn table waiting for you below. The brand didn't reinvent the dining table, but boy, did they perfect it. So, if you're ready to make a gorgeous and lasting investment, feast your eyes on my top picks.

Best Pottery Barn Dining Tables

How should I style my Pottery Barn dining table?

Think of a tablescape as clothing for your dining table — an essential art form. According to Nina, the first step for the perfect tablescape is finding a focal point. ‘Choose a statement centerpiece, such as a floral arrangement, decorative bowl, or sculptural object, to anchor your table setting and build around it.’

Next, it's time for the fun part: layering! Now is your chance to showcase your favorite table linens, placemats, and ceramics — bonus points if you can vary the textures. According to Nina, this is a surefire way ‘to add depth and visual interest to your table.’

If, like myself, you tend to get a little overzealous in this department (I love to decorate), consider using the next step to refine. Are your items crowded together? Is the table looking a bit cluttered? Remember that guests need space to dine, so ensure they can do so comfortably by paying attention to scale, advises Nina.

And finally, no dinner party is complete without a little drama. Nina suggests adding varying levels of height by incorporating candlesticks, taper candles, or tall vases — instant dimension.

Your dining table is your canvas, and each of the picks in this edit offers no shortage of inspiration. Have fun with it — with a table this good, it's impossible to go wrong. Though if you do want to make it an extra special focal point, place one of these Pottery Barn rugs underneath — so chic.

A coffee table might just be my most used piece of furniture. I’d like to say it’s my dining table, but there’s something about the casual nature of a coffee table that is just so appealing. It feels close to comfort, sitting just a foot away from my sofa and chairs, and when I entertain, it’s the hub of my social circle, surrounded by smiles and spirited conversation. I want my coffee table to be beautiful (obviously), but sitting at the center of so much of my life, I also want it to last. Enter: Pottery Barn coffee tables — the last coffee table you'll ever need to buy. 

There are a plethora of fantastic finds in the ongoing Pottery Barn sale, but I kept finding myself flipping tabs, making my way back to shop the retailer’s stunning coffee table selection. Whether it's a sleek marble square or a space-saving tiered glass piece, it felt like Pottery Barn read my mind. These coffee tables are just what I've been looking for all along. 

Whether it's a piece of decor, rest stop for remotes, glorified dining table, or all of the above, a coffee table is meant for so much more than just coffee. According to experts, like interior designer Nina Lichtenstein, 'Your coffee table is more than just a surface to rest your drinks and remote controls; it's a canvas for self-expression and style.’ 

Luckily, there’s no shortage of these masterpieces at Pottery Barn. For every taste or budget, the retailer has a quality and gorgeous piece. It was challenging to play favorites, but somehow, I managed. Scroll to discover my all time favorite living room eye candy.

How should I style my Pottery Barn coffee table?

According to interior designer Megan Hersch, the key to keeping a gorgeous coffee table is clustering. ‘Group your elements together. A stack of books is one group, a set of vases is another, a tray with objects on it is another,’ she explains. Think curated chaos — a lived-in appearance with lots of personal touches, just with a little strategic spacing.

Speaking of, Megan advises keeping an eye peeled for negative space — that is, the gap between your objects. ‘Make sure to NOT clutter your coffee table by covering every inch with decor, instead pay attention to the space between your groups so it’s well balanced and there is a free spot for a drink or two when you finally sit down!’

And like your portfolio, make an effort to diversify your coffee table with different heights. Rather than keep each of your clusters at a similar stature, ‘You want the eye to go on a visual journey,’ says Megan. ‘Up and down the ornaments on the table to create a sense of interest.’

If styling a coffee table sounds like a lot of play and experimentation, then you’re exactly right! Every coffee table is different, and coffee table decor varies, but following these three rules will help you quickly determine your magic style formula. 

Pair your new coffee table with one of these Pottery Barn rugs — an instant living room upgrade.

If, like me, you're a huge fan of legacy homes retailer Pottery Barn, you are likely no stranger to its long-standing partnership with Monique Lhuillier, a fashion and lifestyle designer known for her work in the bridal space. Since 2017, Monique and Pottery Barn have collaborated on an ever-growing collection of delicate, romantic pieces of home decor and furniture characterized by soft colors and couture countryside motifs — a fan-favorite and best-selling curation that continues to this day.

And speaking of, the duo just yesterday released a brand new selection of home goods in a drop reminiscent of the French countryside and Parisian style and elegance. For all you PB heads, it has arrived just in time for a changing of the seasons; and for all you fashion lovers, it's conveniently available at the retailer's ever-accessible prices. (There are plenty of reasons Pottery Barn is one of the best home decor brands out there and those are two of them. Another? The ongoing Pottery Barn sale.)

Though it was difficult to play favorites, I spent a bit of time with the new collection to determine which pieces I loved the most — and, as I tend to do, organized the selects in a highly-shoppable, quite aesthetic round-up for you below.

The best of Pottery Barn x Monique Lhuillier

Sometimes, we can get away with opting for the cheap and cheerful choice — maybe for a novelty wine glass or a decorative side table that rarely sees any use. But when it comes to rugs, there's no room for compromise. Rugs endure a lot of foot traffic and cover a significant portion of our floors, making them one of the most important investments for our homes. So, when it's time to make that decision, we turn to none other than Pottery Barn rugs, renowned for their beautiful, quality designs.

Despite some being part of the current Pottery Barn sale, these rugs still might not be the most affordable options out there. But they certainly offer the best value! You don't have to treat them with kid gloves — they’re some of the best rugs you can buy, made to withstand real life. With classic style and top-notch durability, a Pottery Barn rug will ground you through all the seasons of life.

According to interior designer Alice Chiu, ‘A rug can dress up and elevate the look and feel of a space providing visual appeal. It can help create a bold statement, delineate one room from another, and add color, depth, texture, and warmth,’ she explains, adding, ‘A properly curated rug can transform a space and make a visual impact that truly ties a room together.’ But with great power comes great responsibility: ‘Choosing the wrong rug can make a room look incomplete, imbalanced, and awkward, so it’s an important decision that requires thoughtful intention and planning.’

Luckily, you can't go wrong with any of Pottery Barn’s rug offerings. But if you need a little help, I’ve picked out my favorites below. From handwoven jute to sheepskin, you're bound to meet your magic carpet.

How should I style my rug?

‘The color(s) of your area rug will set the tone for the entire room and can make a bold statement,' says Alice. ‘I recommend 2-3 colors that pick up hues from furniture or accessories from your sofa to accent chairs, pillows, wall colors, artwork, or drapes,' she elaborates.

But what styling really hinges on is getting the correct size. ‘If a rug is too small or too large relative to the surrounding furniture and space, it throws off the balance and cohesiveness of a room,’ explains Alice. ‘A properly sized rug should enhance the overall aesthetic and scale of the furniture. Either all your furniture should be sitting on the rug, or at a minimum, the front 2 legs of your sofa should be on the rug.' The designer likes 'to leave a gap of 6"- 8" from the edge of the rug to the wall where part of the floor is displayed.’ 

Luckily, Pottery Barn makes determining the proper size as easy as possible by adding a convenient how-to guide underneath each rug listing. Simply click on your favorite rug and scroll down to view detailed size insights depending on your existing furniture and the area of your home in question. Offering a range of rug dimensions and styles, you're all but guaranteed to find the perfect fit for your space at Pottery Barn.

I don't take my bedding decisions lightly. We spend about a third of our lives sleeping, give or take, so I see this as both a duty and a joy. I want my bed to be stylish because I have to look at it, but more importantly, I want it to be breathable and comfortable. Luckily, Pottery Barn bedding ticks all the boxes.

My initial attraction to the retailer was the ongoing Pottery Barn sale, where I first laid eyes on some truly beautiful duvets, sheets and other bedding deals. One thing is certain: I know style, but when it comes to bedding technicalities, I thought it best to consult an expert. Enter Julia Forbes, a certified sleep science coach who knows a thing or two about getting your beauty sleep. She revealed that the key to finding the perfect bedding is actually quite straightfoward: research.

Pottery Barn offers a plethora of material and thread count options, but since individual preferences vary significantly, ‘You should also purchase bedding based on the temperature you sleep at,’ explains Julia, adding that ‘Hot sleepers will need moisture-wicking and breathable sheets like cotton and linen,’ while ‘Cold sleepers will want a material like flannel that traps heat at night.’ And thread count? Apparently, it's not as important as we think: ‘Thread count is something that you can look at too, but it is not going to make or break your bedding decision.’ What really matters is the material — the most crucial ingredient for the perfect sleep experience.

If the word ‘research’ made you yawn or roll your eyes just a moment ago, then rest assured, I've made this process as easy as possible for you. I've read the descriptions, and I'm giving you the highlights so you don't have to. Quality bedding plus great style equals a dream come true. Your sweetest dreams ever are just a scroll away.

How should I wash my bedding?

The answer to this is short, and mildly annoying: read the label!

According to Julia, ‘The best way to wash your bedding to ensure its longevity is to follow its specific care instructions. All bedding is different so there is not one way to wash it to ensure it lasts longer. If you follow its specific instructions, that is the highest chance you have of making your bedding last,' she explains.

"If you like modern farmhouse style, then Pottery Barn is likely to be a good fit," says our global brand director, Sarah Spiteri. "Its pieces have a timelessness, and it is particularly strong in the world of soft, warm neutrals. The higher-priced sofas are extra durable, with solid wood fixtures, so the sale is a great chance to invest in one of these pieces to match value and quality."

FAQs

When is The Best Time to Get a Pottery Barn Deal?

Shopping the Pottery Barn sales is obviously the best time to get a great deal on a whole range of homeware, decor, and furniture.

Black Friday is a major sale event for the retailer — Pottery Barn's Home Sale page is a helpful resource for guidance. Following that would be the post-Christmas sales as retailers make way for the new season's stock.

Does Pottery Barn Have After Christmas Sales?

Yes! Pottery Barn has what they call their 'Winter Warehouse Sale', which takes place after Christmas and usually runs through the first few weeks of January. This is where you can save big on end-of-season sale items.

Are After Christmas Pottery Barn Deals better than Black Friday Pottery Barn Deals??

"Pottery Barn Black Friday deals and after-Christmas deals can be priced fairly similarly," says Lucy Searle, Content Director for Audience at Livingetc. "The difference is in the breadth of the offer. During Pottery Barn Black Friday sales, you're typically going to get anything left from the fall sales plus items the retailer thinks they have a good chance of selling before Christmas, whether as gifts or for homeowners or renters who are hosting, for example.

"Post-Christmas, you will still see some great deals, but the range of products on offer might well be narrower, though you will see some price reductions on end-of-season or end-of-line collections, plus of course holiday collections. My advice would be that if you see something you want in the Pottery Barn Black Friday sale at a price you can afford, you should buy it because it may be gone by the after-Christmas sale."

When is Pottery Barn's Black Friday Sale?

Black Friday fell on Friday, November 28th in 2025, but Pottery Barn, like many major retailers, started its Black Friday sales early. Its sales offering also typically evolves into Cyber Monday deals following Black Friday weekend, with major discounts on most categories.

Are Pottery Barn Black Friday Deals Any Good?

Pottery Barn's Black Friday deals are really good, with big discounts across all categories: "It's a great time to get a deal on larger pieces of furniture, such as some of the best sofas you can find at a major retailer, through to more interchangeable decor — look out for bedding deals in particular.

"There are also limited-time offers on sofas, for example, and home decor discounts on items that would make great Christmas gifts, too," says Lindsey Davis, Livingetc's ecommerce content director.
