Dunelm reduces 'chic' Scandinavian £90 side table to £22 in 75% deal
"Beautiful table nice and compact, lovely wood. Great price. Delighted with it" If you're into Scandinavian interior design, you'll be excited to hear that you can grab a 'brilliant' wooden side table at a low price. Thanks to Dunelm's latest clearance sale, you can snag this 'chic' and 'elegant' piece of furniture for 75% off. The Effy Side Table from the homeware store, showcasing a 'natural wood grain', has been reduced from £90 to just £22.25. With its natural wood effect foil, Dunelm describes it as a nod to "organic elegance and simplicity." Explaining more, it says: "Its sleek tabletop seamlessly complements contemporary interiors, providing a stylish surface for your essentials. Complete the look by pairing it with the matching Effy coffee table, and enjoy a cohesive, elegant set that enhances your home decor." Scandinavian interior design, often referred to as "Scandi," focuses on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature. It showcases clean lines, abundant natural light, and a minimalist, orderly appearance. Key elements include light colour schemes, natural materials like wood and wool, and a strong emphasis on creating a warm, inviting atmosphere through diverse textures and cosy fabrics. The Effy Side Table is 55cm high, 40cm wide, and 4 cm deep. It arrives partially assembled. The tabletop is crafted from Reach PVC veneer, and the legs are made of wood. If you're on the hunt for a side table that looks similar, there are tons of options to check out. Debenhams has slashed the price of this 'Tora' Triangle Side Table from £222.18 down to just £49.99. You can pick it up in three different wood finishes, and it boasts an impressive customer rating of 4.9 stars out of five. Ikea has a Stockholm pine veneer side table available for £70, which they describe as "easy to move around and adapt to different situations and needs." Meanwhile, Jysk has dropped the price of this Lydum pedestal from £49.99 to £40, but keep in mind that this deal is only valid until the end of the month. On the other hand, Dunelm's Effy Side Table currently holds a perfect five-out-of-five-star average rating. This is mainly because it has only received four reviews as of July 24—all of which were positive. So, if you're after more comprehensive feedback, this limited number of reviews might not be very reassuring. One shopper called Jay wrote: "The table is a nice colour, shape is a bit different, reasonable price, all good." Sophie said: "Lovely looking side tables for our new lounge. Can't wait to get the up and in use!" Minie put: "Beautiful table nice and compact, lovely wood. Great price. Delighted with it." A fourth said: "Brilliant side table, right height, and so easy to assemble a good weight to it also, very pleased with my purchase and always easy ordering process with Dunelm." The Effy Side Table is not available for Dunelm's Click and Collect service, so you'll have to pay extra for delivery. Standard delivery costs £3.95 and express is slightly more at £6.95.

"Beautiful table nice and compact, lovely wood. Great price. Delighted with it" Fans of the Scandinavian interior design trend will be pleased to know they can get their hands on a 'brilliant' wooden side table for a fraction of its usual cost. Thanks to Dunelm 's latest clearance sale, homeowners can snap up the 'chic' and 'elegant' furniture for 75% less. The homeware store's Effy Side Table, which features a 'natural wood grain', has been slashed from £90 to £22.25. The table is designed with a natural wood effect foil, and Dunelm says it is a tribute to "organic elegance and simplicity". It adds: "Its sleek tabletop seamlessly complements contemporary interiors, providing a stylish surface for your essentials. Complete the look by pairing it with the matching Effy coffee table, and enjoy a cohesive, elegant set that enhances your home decor." Scandinavian interior design, commonly known as "Scandi," is all about simplicity, practicality, and a bond with nature. It highlights clean lines, plenty of natural light, and a minimalistic, tidy look. Important features consist of light colour palettes, natural materials such as wood and wool, and an emphasis on crafting a warm, welcoming vibe through various textures and comfy fabrics. The Effy Side Table is 55cm tall, 40cm wide, and 40cm deep. It comes part assembled. The round table face is made of Reach PVC veneer, while the legs are made from wood. If you are searching for a similar-looking side table, there are plenty of other options to consider. Debenhams has reduced this 'Tora' Triangle Side Table from £222.18 to £49.99. It is available in three different wood colours and has an overall customer rating of 4.9 stars out of five.
