Fun fact: Crate & Barrel gets its name from the display fixtures at its very first storefront, which used crates and barrels to show off its inventory of elegant housewares.
Half a century after its first store opened, Crate & Barrel has bloomed into a leading purveyor of home furnishings, drawing millions of customers every year to its 100+ stores. The brand is a celebrated trendsetter, pioneering in-store vignettes and inspiring interior design and entertainment trends with its contemporary creations.
Of course, exquisite housewares and furniture can come at a high cost. But even though Crate & Barrel tends to be on the pricier side, you can score sophisticated mahogany wood lounge chairs, chic velvet pillow shams and sleek stainless steel spatulas for less with a bit of strategy and good timing.
