Interiors and DIY guru Ana Egger (@staged.by.ana) said while she thinks Home Goods is a great place to save money, “there are so many ways you can go wrong.”

In the clip, she said her first stop in the shop is always the pottery section.

“These pots are gorgeous. I love the texture of them, the color, the sizing.”

Holding up a cream-colored stone vase, she said you can’t beat the $35 price tag.

“Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, it’s going to be at least double the price, so pottery is something that’s great to look out for at Home Goods.”

Besides pottery, she’s a fan of the store’s mirrors.

“I love getting mirrors here because number one, I’m not worried about them breaking during shipping [because I take them home], and number two, the pricing is always really great.”  

She pointed out a wavy, circular one, noting how “fun” it is and adding that it’d be great for a guest bathroom.

“It’s super cute and it’s literally $50.”

She also loves the big pots they sell at the store.

“They’re great for big, tall trees like olive trees or fig leaf plants. Look at how cute and it’s only $80.”

As for what to stay away from, she said the silk floral arrangements are a no-go, as they look cheap and fake, and Moroccan-print anything is not a good idea.

She was thrilled to see cute decorative boxes, however, pointing out a white one that would be great for a shelf or bedside table.

“But, when you’re looking at their boxes you have to be super, super selective. Like, I would definitely not get a box like this one because it has a bold print.”

Like boxes, the baskets at Home Goods are also a good option.

“The pricing on baskets is so good, and you really can’t tell the difference between these and the ones from The Container Store.”

She pointed out one that looked like a pricey Serena And Lily version.
