Based on my shopping trip, I'd choose Pottery Barn for a more festive experience.
Although each location of these decor chains may vary, the Crate & Barrel I visited didn't wow me.
The retailer had a few pretty pieces I'd gladly add to my home, but the in-store merchandise displays lacked the cozy feel I like my holiday decorations to convey.
On the other hand, I could've left Pottery Barn with a car full of beautiful, inviting holiday decor.
The store had cozy, colorful displays at every corner and an impressive range of pillows, blankets, ornaments, and throws.
I also appreciated that, unlike the Crate & Barrel I visited, Pottery Barn had Santa mugs, candles, and figurines with a diverse range of skin tones.
Overall, Crate & Barrel may be a great pick for folks with simple tastes — but I'll be heading back to Pottery Barn to get decor for my cozy, festive home this holiday season.
