They position themselves to serve urbanites who may have filled their apartment with Ikea furniture but now desire the high-style furnishings of a Crate & Barrel (which happens to be the parent company of CB2 — hence the name!).

West Elm

High-style at a mid-range budget, contemporary with some warmth and whimsy

West Elm offers high-style at a mid-range budget. Warm, soft-edged, mid-century modern and eclectic designs are common motifs. A juxtaposition of materials is another design theme–natural fabrics together with wood and metals—brass, gold, chrome, and on. Adding everchanging twists to West Elm’s design collections is their collaborates with well-known artists and tastemakers. Their Lenny Kravitz collection has been our favorite so far.
