Ever wondered what your furniture shopping habits reveal about your inner design persona? Whether you’re a sucker for a moody Restoration Hardware setup or find yourself mysteriously drawn to everything in Target’s Studio McGee aisle, your favorite store says a lot about your taste, lifestyle, and yes—even your personality.

There are so many cool furniture styles. I've written before about the 24 furniture styles and the people who love them, if you are curious about which style best suits you. However, this post will also help you determine your favorite furniture style based on the furniture store you love most. What'll it be? From Anthropologie to Wayfair, every furniture store has a different style vibe. Which is best suited to your personality? You'll find out here.

So go ahead: scroll, laugh, nod in recognition, and maybe discover a new corner of your interior identity. (And if you happen to find your dream sofa for less along the way? We’ve got a little surprise for you at the end.)

West Elm: The Mid-Century Maven

Are you the friend who loves West Elm? You radiate effortless cool. You probably have a favorite candle scent. You own at least one arch-shaped mirror.

Your space is full of intention: think rich earth tones, sleek lines, and subtle brass accents that whisper “I’ve got it together,” even if your laundry pile begs to differ. You're all about elevated basics—design-forward furniture that still feels livable.

Style vibe: Mid-century modern with a soulful twist
Your ideal Saturday: Browsing plant shops, sipping espresso, rearranging your shelves just because
What it says about you: You crave balance, beauty, and homes that feel like sanctuaries (but photograph like editorial spreads)

You can find West Elm furniture on Spoken, often for less when you purchase the same pieces from other stores.

West Elm's Harmony Sofa is a quintessential (and comfy!) piece for the Midcentury Maven

IKEA: The Pragmatic Dreamer

You appreciate clean design, Scandinavian roots, and instructions you can never quite follow on the first try. Your life motto? “Why buy it built when I can bond with my Allen wrench for less?”

You love that IKEA lets you start from scratch without breaking the bank. Bonus points if you’ve ever used a KALLAX shelf unit as a room divider, bookshelf, bar cart, or existential metaphor.

Style vibe: Functional minimalism with a touch of chaos
Your ideal Saturday: Solo build session, followed by a nap on your new sofa
What it says about you: You’re resourceful, imaginative, and not afraid to make a mess in the name of reinvention

Although IKEA furniture is sold exclusively by IKEA, you can now find some of your favorite minimalist furniture styles from IKEA on Spoken.

Anthropologie Home: The Boho Daydreamer

Your home smells like incense or citrus blossoms—no in-between. You’ve got a gallery wall with at least one piece of art that says “just felt right.” Texture is your love language. Your favorite home decor daydreams include Anthropologie.

You're drawn to velvet, tassels, and anything that looks like it was discovered at a Paris flea market. Anthropologie isn’t just your furniture store—it’s your soul sister.

Style vibe: Romantic eclecticism with global flair
Your ideal Saturday: Farmers market flowers, watercolor journaling, spontaneous furniture rearranging
What it says about you: You lead with feeling, value beauty over rules, and could probably open your own artisan pillow shop

Here's a super-sweet surprise for the boho dreamers among us: You can now find Anthropologie-exclusive pieces on Spoken!

Anthropologie Home is known for vibrant, eclectic details, like this romantic floral velvet ottoman

CB2: The Sleek Sophisticate

You’re allergic to clutter. Every corner of your home has intention—and maybe a little mystery. You don’t just decorate. You curate, and your favorite place to shop is CB2, naturally.

CB2 speaks to your love for drama in the best way. You pair minimalist furniture with bold accents and dare to mix materials like velvet, marble, and matte black metal.

Style vibe: Modern, bold, and unapologetically chic – pieces that say sorry, but really not sorry!
Your ideal Saturday: A gallery opening followed by drinks at a rooftop bar
What it says about you: You’re confident, design-savvy, and know how to command a room—whether it’s with your outfit or your living room layout

Sophisticated furniture items like the green agate coffee table are simply the best from CB2

Restoration Hardware: The Moody Monarch

You love a room that feels like a grand escape—vaulted ceilings optional, moody candlelight mandatory. Restoration Hardware is your love letter to old-world charm and refined luxury.

Your palette rarely strays from oatmeal, charcoal, or stone. You believe in investing in pieces that last forever, preferably made of reclaimed wood or Belgian linen.

Style vibe: Timeless elegance with fortress-core vibes
Your ideal Saturday: Reading historical fiction in a tufted armchair with ambient lighting and a well-aged glass of red
What it says about you: You crave quality, quiet luxury, and probably have a favorite century

Refined and luxurious, Restoration Hardware pieces are well worth the investment

Target: The Cozy Curator

Your Pinterest boards are immaculate. You’ve mastered the art of blending modern farmhouse with just the right sprinkle of trend. You could walk into Target for dish soap and walk out with a full bedroom refresh—and you’re not mad about it, not even a little.

You know good design doesn’t have to cost a fortune, and you’re not afraid to mix a little McGee & Co. with your meal prep containers.

Style vibe: Trend-forward comfort
Your ideal Saturday: Target run, home organization reset, fresh flowers for the table
What it says about you: You’re warm, practical, and the friend everyone asks for decorating advice

Wayfair: The Maximalist-in-the-Making

You love options, and Wayfair has a lot of them. Whether your style leans glam, rustic, or coastal, you’ve probably stayed up until midnight comparing coffee tables with 4.5-star ratings.

You’re all about the thrill of the find. Flash sales? Count you in. You’re not afraid to experiment with bold choices or pivot your style completely when the vibe calls for it.

Style vibe: Colorful, confident, evolving
Your ideal Saturday: Furniture deep dive + espresso-fueled room makeover
What it says about you: You trust your gut, follow your instincts, and know that “add to cart” is a sacred act of self-discovery

Urban Outfitters Home: The Artsy Individualist

Your space is full of surprises: checkerboard rugs, abstract vases, and maybe a mushroom lamp or two. You treat your home like a living collage, and UO makes all your artsy dreams come true.

Urban Outfitters is your go-to for playful, punchy pieces that don’t take themselves too seriously. Your home tells your story—even if it’s still a little “in progress.”

Style vibe: Quirky, retro, art-school adjacent
Your ideal Saturday: Crafting playlists, flipping thrifted finds, painting your own headboard
What it says about you: You’re bold, expressive, and don’t believe in rules when it comes to creativity or decor

Many Spoken shoppers enjoy searching for better deals on Urban Outfitters furniture and decor online.

Mix-and-Matcher?

Can’t choose just one store? There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, some might consider it your superpower. You blend high and low, vintage and modern, neutral and colorful—because your style isn’t a single aesthetic, it’s you. You want to curate the perfect space and don't need a furniture style identity to do it. We love that attitude!

There are so many fun styles, and we recommend trying all of them at home!

From art deco to contemporary to transitional styles that fit in any space, hunting for furniture that genuinely reflects your vibe is like a treasure hunt for your soul—unexpected, creative, and seriously fun. Spoken makes it easier to do this by allowing you to filter by style when you select Filter and Sort at the top right corner of the shopping page.

Whether you're discovering your favorite furniture styles or trying to find the perfect pieces to suit the styles you know you love, it's important to remain authentic to what makes you happy. If you love it, you can pull it off in your home—and you should. You want your home to be your happy place, right?!

Final Takeaway: Follow the Vibe, Not the Rules

Your favorite furniture store isn’t just a place to shop—it’s a reflection of your values, your aesthetic, and how you want to feel in your space.

And if you ever find yourself torn between Target's super cozy, budget-friendly furniture options and Anthropologie’s velvet daybeds? Spoken can help. Our AI-powered search engine compares prices for the same items across hundreds of stores so that you can follow your style and your budget.
