6 Dupes For Expensive Items To Create Your Dream Home
These dupes look stylish and won't break the bank.
We all have a wishlist of items that we like to look at but in good conscience cannot justify the price of. Sure, that kettle would look so cute in our kitchen, but should I really spend that much money on one item?
Well, we feel the same way, so we found dupes for our favourite expensive home items. Cute and affordable? Count us in!
The Original: Smeg 50's Style Kettle, Wayfair, $250
Smeg products have established themselves among design lovers for their retro look. They sure make a statement, although the price point remains steep.
The Dupe: BUYDEEM K640 Stainless Steel Electric Tea Kettle, Amazon, $100
This kettle has the same mint colour and vintage look. It'll be a pop of retro in your kitchen!
The Original: Dyson V8, Dyson, $600
We've all heard reviews raving about the quality of the Dyson and although it is our dream vacuum, most of us don't have the extra cash to drop on it.
The Dupe: WLUPEL Cordless Vacuum, Amazon, on sale for $160 (was $270)
This vacuum not only performs the same way as the Dyson, but it looks like it too. Add to cart!

This mushroom lamp looks just as stylish as the original Artemide piece but only costs a fraction of the price.
The Original: Le Creuset Oval Dutch Oven, Le Creuset, from $510
