Dunelm launches mega homeware sale with ‘bargains galore' – including half price bedding, furniture and kitchenware
WHETHER it's time for a refresh of your home or you simply need to stock up on some new items, there's nothing quite like finding a bargain. And with homeware being so varied in cost, it feels especially rewarding when you come across a stylish find at an affordable price. 5 5 Which is why shoppers are racing to their local Dunelm store. The furniture store has launched a mega homeware sale with 'bargains galore' - including half-price bedding, furniture, and kitchenware. One TikTok account, known as ' sizzlingsaves ', shared their latest video, which showcased 50% off chic plates, bowls, and cups. Within three days of the video being shared, the account received over 402.8k views. They featured a black set of plates and bowls, as well as criss-cross designs and small triangle-patterned sets. And it didn't stop there with their funky kitchenware, as they also highlighted bunny rabbit designs and chic cream plates and bowls with a simple black edging. Dunelm also had 50% off beige dining chairs, making them only £22.50, as well as fur blankets, curtains, patterned bedding, and colourful rugs. And it wasn't just decorative items on offer at discounted prices but also cleaning products. They were selling a Turbo Smart mop by Vileda, as well as 30% off Method floor cleaner, making it £2.80 reduced from £4, and 20% off a Sorbo pack of six rainbow microfibre cloths for £4, reduced from £5. Dunelm was also selling heated airers with wings for £20, reduced from £40, as well as shaggy rugs for £24.50. Dunelm shoppers are scrambling to their local store and their 'massive sale' kicks off with posh glasses for 89p and £8 gadgets to keep the Spring chill out Another shopper also noticed their local Dunelm store had big sales too. Sophie Wilkinson, who is known as ' yozelle ' on TikTok, shared a video of a quick trip to her local Dunelm store. She captioned the video: 'This is not a drill. Run, don't scroll.' The TikTok footage, which received 296.6k views after four days of being shared, also showed plates and bowls on sale at discounted prices. She added: 'Ladies run, don't walk to Dunelm right now. Basically everything is on sale.' Her video gained lots of attention, with 70 people rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts. 5 5 5 One wrote: 'Can't beat a Dunelm trip.' A second added: 'Omg my bank account will start crying.' Whilst a third commented: 'I don't have the self-control for this.' And a fourth said: 'I stumbled across this today and it was amazing - so many good bits.' Dunelm's top interior design trends for 2025 Maximalism Maximalism is about unleashing your creativity and bringing joy to everything around you, day in and day out. Bold pattern combinations of florals, checks and geometrics set the tone with a bright joyous colour palette that holds everything together. Don't mistake Maximalism for having loads of stuff, it's about mixing and matching florals, layering key pieces and storytelling throughout your home, and ultimately doing things your own way. Dunelm's new collaboration with Sophie Robinson is all about that. Minimaluxe The interiors world has witnessed the evolution of "minimalism" into a richer, more luxurious iteration. The goal is quiet luxury - simplicity with a sense of sophistication. Minimaluxe focuses on creating spaces that are pared down yet warm, elegant, and inviting. Gloriously tactile textures, in a palette of warm neutrals, with hints of caramel and gold, complete the look. Introducing softer forms and round edges to avoid a space feeling overly stark The Edit Built on the philosophy that having fewer thoughtfully designed and well-made things helps us leave a lighter imprint on the earth. Interior design is shifting to be inspired by the natural world, and all its perfect imperfections. Take Dunelm's The Edited Life collection, it focuses on natural materials like wicker, jute and linens - as well as décor pieces and hand-thrown pottery vessels that feature forms dictated by the artisan's mark. Soft relaxed fabric textures mixed with uneven wood grains help bring this neutral, look together. New Nouveau Blending 19th century inspired maximalism with a contemporary colour palette this collection takes inspiration from the ornamental art form from the Nouveau era. Rich and luxurious, blending a little bit of history with a more modern aesthetic you can mix and layer into your home. Stylised Lily motifs adorn sumptuous textiles and wallpapers mixed with marbling & stained glass vintage style lighting for a vintage inspired look, with a modern twist.

Torfaen council asking for ideas on next year's scrutiny
Torfaen County Borough Council's overview and scrutiny committees examine a range of topics every year. This is in order to make sure council decisions are being held to account. The committees have looked at issues this year like reducing homelessness, improving school attendance, and improving employability services. Now, they want the public to help them. They are asking members of the public to submit ideas so they can be taken into account next year. Ideas need to be submitted on the Get Involved Torfaen democracy hub by June 18, 2025. All the ideas from the public will be considered and reviewed. The committees will then put together a programme of what to scrutinise. This information will be published on the Torfaen County Borough Council website. Councillor Rose Seabourne, the chair of the education overview and scrutiny committee, said: "I would encourage anyone interested in finding out more about the many ways that you can get involved in local democracy to visit the new democracy hub on Get Involved Torfaen. "It's full of information about how to attend meetings, how to submit information, ask questions and more. "The committees will welcome your suggestions on topics you think they should focus on. "Please add your ideas no later than 18th June, 2025." The five committees are: economy and environment, education, adults and communities, children and families, and cross cutting resources and business.
