How would you define Pottery Barn style?

I used to be more "country style" but in the past few years I like a more upscale country look like PB. So what would you call THAT look..country chic, rustic country?? Thanks.

I think it's eclectic - just what I like!

I'd call it contemporary.

My camper is decorated in that style - I call it modern country (as opposed to 1985 country).

I consider many pieces in their line as Sophisticated Country.

 

To me, rustic is more log or twig style furniture with antler chandeliers. Shabby chic strikes me as far more French/feminine.

 

I wish they would allow for reviews on their site. The closest store to me is an Outlet store. I've been in a few times but just not impressed. The catalog and website showcases items very nicely but I'm disappointed in person.

I don't even know where the closest store to me would be, but I don't think I could afford anything in it anyway. I just copy "the look" with items from other stores that are more affordable. Works for me.

Expensive.

 

I think many use it as an idea generator, then go to places like TJ Maxx to duplicate the look.

 

No PB within 70 miles of me, so I'm not as familiar with their products as most here, but I don't think I've ever seen anything there that struck me as 'signature' or 'original' that can't be had elsewhere for less.

I consider Pottery Barn to be contemporary rustic.
