Home Decor Catalogs

From LoveToKnow Interior Design

When it’s time to redecorate, get your project started with the help of home décor catalogs. These catalogs serve two purposes: they are chock full of decorating ideas to get your creative juices flowing, and once you have decided what look you’re going for, catalogs let you do your home décor shopping from the comfort of your own home.

For all the pluses offered by home décor catalogs, there is one major drawback – there are so many catalogs out there, how do you know which ones suit your tastes? That’s where LTK Interior Design comes in. We’re running down a list of our favorite home décor catalogs to help you separate the top notch home decorating bibles from the recycling bin bound waste of time books.

Home Décor Catalogs

The following catalogs are sure to have something that will light that little creative spark in your head.

Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn for many people is the holy grail of home décor catalogs. Pottery Barn offers a selection of basic furniture pieces in simple designs that can blend well with most Category:Interior Design Styles, plus accent pieces in a variety of design styles to help you pull your look together. The great thing about Pottery Barn is that they offer everything from dining room sets to knick knacks, pillows, and rugs, so they’re something of a one stop shop; you can get everything you need for a room directly from Pottery Barn. The company also offers specially targeted catalogs for kids, teens, bedrooms, and so on. Watch out for special sales and clearances in the Pottery Barn catalogs to get the best deals.

Horchow

Horchow is something of an interior design institution. This catalog is the right choice for the person who has specific tastes and wants to deck their home out with a flourish. Most of the items in the Horchow home décor catalog fall into the category of French Country style, English Country style, and Old World style, but there are pieces in the catalog to satisfy most tastes. Horchow offers high quality, high style products that make a great addition to any room.

Ballard Designs

Ballard Designs offers a selection of Modern, French Country, and Eclectic style furniture and accent pieces. Similar to Pottery Barn, Ballard has everything from lighting to sofas to paintings to accessories, so you could redesign your entire home with a Ballard catalog on your lap.

Things to Remember about Home Décor Catalogs

When you order from a home décor catalog, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Shipping costs – Remember that a shipping price will be added to the cost of nearly every item you order. In the case of accessories, this price can be negligible. In the case of furniture or large pieces, shipping costs can mean an additional $150 or more on your bill.
  • How is the item delivered to you? – Does the item come fully assembled, or will you have to put some elbow grease into it? If you need to assemble a piece, what tools will you need?
  • Return policy – One danger with home décor catalog shopping is that sometimes, when you get the item in your home, it is bigger/smaller/a different color than you had imagined it to be. What is the return policy of the catalog company from whom you are ordering? Do you have to return items at your own cost? How long do you have to make up your mind?
  • Swatch samples – Many catalogs offer swatches of their fabrics and paints upon request. There may be a small fee for this service, but it will help you buy with confidence.

Keep these factors in mind, and you won’t go wrong. Dig out those home decor catalogs, and happy shopping!
