Despite recent political events, there still seems to be room for the theory that Target has a cult-like following. More than just another big-box chain, the retailer is known for churning out beautifully bougie items at seriously affordable prices.
Whether you want to make your home look like a million bucks or find elegant gifts, there’s no shortage of available items at shockingly low prices. Here’s a look at 10 expensive-looking Target items you can find in stores right now that won’t break your budget.
Threshold Arched Body Mirror
- Price: $80.00
Floor mirrors can be a great functional decor piece for your living space, but designer ones can set you back more than a couch in many cases. For example, Urban Outfitters sells the Tabitha Arc Mirror for $449. There’s a lot of money to be saved by opting for Target’s more affordable, but expensive-looking dupe.
Square Faux Fur Throw Pillow
- Price: $25.00
Throw pillows are a great way to spice up your space or give your living room a little facelift. Target offers the square luxe faux fur throw pillow in varying colors for $25 each. With competitors such as Anthropologie, you can find similar items, but the luxe sculpted faux-fur pillows offered there will cost you closer to $78.
Round Wood Server Cake Stand with Glass Dome
- Price: $54.99
Nothing can make a dinner presentation feel classier than a beautiful dessert stand, and Target lets you have a cake display without having to eat a high price tag. For comparison, Crate and Barrel has the Carson acacia wood cake pedestal, which is an almost identical item for $79.95
This proves you can be the host with the most, without actually spending like it.
Threshold Marble Serving Tray with Handles
- Price: $20.00
Anything you put on this chic marble serving tray will look amazing. Black marble, in a textural finish, this 14-inch-by-six-inch rectangle tray is flanked with elegant — and convenient — gold handles. The perfect addition to your existing serving sets, prepare to get plenty of compliments on it.
DesignWorks Ink. Vegan Leather Journal
- Price: $8.49
Leather-bound books, even if vegan, make every shelf look sophisticated. Featuring lined paper on its 192 pages, this college-ruled journal is the perfect gift. It even has a ribbon marker to keep your place, and it comes stylishly foil stamped.
Himalayan Glow Salt Table Lamp
- Price: $19.49
A beautiful conversation piece, the Himalayan glow salt table lamp will illuminate any room in a warm glow. It might look like a luxury piece straight from a museum, but its actual price can be your little secret.
Featuring a 100% natural neem wooden base, this ETL-approved lamp is bug and termite-resistant. It’s also naturally antibacterial, serving as yet another reason to love it.
Threshold Faux Fur Reversible Throw Blanket

Few things are more expensive-looking than faux fur. Therefore, it’s inevitable that the textured faux fur reversible throw blanket from Threshold will add a sense of luxury to your space.
