Pottery Barn

Home décor chain

Pottery Barn is an American home furnishings retailer known for upscale but accessible furniture, bedding, and décor.

The name evokes rustic craftsmanship, though the stores sell mass-produced goods.

The brand has become shorthand for a particular aesthetic—comfortable, tasteful, slightly generic affluence: Their living room looks like a Pottery Barn catalog.
