When it comes to finding unique, stylish, and affordable home decor, thrift stores are one of our favorite options.

Whether you’re looking for vintage and antique pieces, or just want to add some character to your home without breaking the bank, thrift stores offer a wide variety of options.

We took an informal poll of over 25 interior designers as well as out in-house team of editors and from that data we’ve curated a list of thrift stores that offer a great selection of home decor items, as well as a variety of other household goods. We’ve included both national chain stores and local favorites.

Each store on this list has been selected for its selection of home decor items, as well as its reputation for offering great deals and high-quality merchandise.

These stores often have unique, one-of-a-kind items that can’t be found at larger chain stores.

Some of the best local thrift stores for home decor are found in vintage and antique shops.

Craigslist: The Local Thrift Store?

It’s impossible to leave Craigslist off our list as you can find plenty of second-hand furniture and interior design items on the site if you’re lucky. We will warn you to be careful when doing business on the site as there are a lot of people whose great ideas involve ripping off cash buyers online. Always see what you’re buying before you pay for it.

Check out Craigslist here.


Online Thrift Store Options

Our friends over at Whole People have curated a large collection of online thrift stores.

Many people seem to think that Etsy is just for homemade crafts but there’s a very big market for repurposed and refurbished furniture on the site too.

Facebook Marketplace

We know you once looked at the Facebook Marketplace and thought, meh. But we’d encourage you to take a longer look. In fact, it has better communication features than Craigslist and some seller rating facilities to help you make better purchasing decisions than on Craigslist too. We recently bought some excellent light fixtures on FB.

Online thrift stores like thredUP, Chairish, and eBay are also great options for those looking to add vintage and retro home decor items to their homes.

These online stores offer a wide variety of vintage and antique pieces, as well as a selection of modern items at affordable prices.

Poshmark

We shop in Poshmark all the time for clothes, so it’s not surprising that we often get furniture on here and other home decor items. In fact, we recently got some sheet sets on Poshmark that had never been used! It tends to deliver very affordable prices too.

Overall, whether you’re looking for vintage and antique pieces, or just want to add some character to your home without breaking the bank, thrift stores offer a wide variety of options.

We’ve pointed you in the direction of all the best options for thrifting for home decor, each selected for its reputation for offering great deals and high-quality merchandise. With these options in mind, you’ll be sure to find the perfect pieces to add style and character to your home. Live it up!
