Primark
Primark (or as we're still jokingly calling it ‘Primarni’) has long been our go-to for mega-packs of tights, value cosmetics and an instant wardrobe refresh. But because you can’t really argue with big cosy cushions for under a fiver, Primark is also the place for chic-but-affordable home accessory updates.

H&M
ABBA, meatballs, hygge – the Swedes have always brought us enduring lifestyle trends. Now Swedish fashion house H&M are upping their game when it comes to Scandi cool interiors, thanks to their homewares available in larger stores nationwide. This spring it’s all about the blush pink and grey.

Quality furniture pieces and natural finishes in wood, marble and leather are the cornerstones of French Connection’s homeware collection. Think modern, bright and airy and while it's not cheap, these are keep forever pieces.
