Shoppers race to get their hands on B&M's new home collection – it's ‘giving Zara Home but on a budget'
SHOPPERS are flocking to B&M to get their hands on their new home collection that is 'giving Zara Home but on a budget.' One homeowner has shown off her haul proving that you don't need a huge budget to transform your living space. 3 3 It seems B&M is stepping up its game, offering chic pieces that give that modern aesthetic touch to your home. The homeowner, who is known as ' reynoldsresidence ' on TikTok, shared her top picks she found at her local B&M store. She managed to get her hands on a small, ribbed candle in a speckled cup, perfect for adding a touch of elegance to shelves or coffee tables. She also discovered a wonderfully soft throw, priced at just a tenner, that "honestly feels like cashmere." Its two-tone, wave design makes it a versatile piece for draping over a sofa or adding comfort to a bedroom. Another standout find was a small woven basket, a mere £4, which she plans to use for flannels in her new bathroom. She also raved about a textured, cement-like decor piece for £5, suggesting it's ideal for holding a small candle and praising its "rugged and kind of neutral vibes." Candles and diffusers were clearly a focus, with the TikToker picking up a ceramic jar candle for £5, noting its " luxury on a budget" feel, and a glass candle and matching diffuser with striking white and brown stripes, each just £4. However, the "piece de resistance" of her haul was a statement lamp, costing £20. The lamp, with its neutral shade, textured base, and waved design, perfectly fit the bill. I restored a tatty £80 sofa I got on Facebook - trolls say it looked better before but they need to trust the process Shared on 5 June, the video from @ reynoldsresidence has already amassed over 264,800 views and 96 comments as many people rush to share their thoughts. One wrote: 'There's bits in here that will give the expensive vibe and bits that shout B&M. 'The blanket and the basket shout B&M. 'No expensive house would have a star shaped basket or a pattern on the blanket. Plus that label on the candle shouts B&M.' A second added: 'Everything looks lovely! Not everyone can afford Zara.' And a third commented: 'Loved the haul, definitely taking a look in my B&M tomorrow.' B&M has just dropped its new "Quiet Luxury" homeware range, and it includes a highly anticipated Stanley cup dupe among other chic finds. Perfect for kitting out your kitchen or grabbing stylish essentials for days in the office, the range offers sophisticated designs at budget-friendly prices. You can pick up a lowball glass with a 3D pink bow in the base for just £3. To complete the look, a set of six glass drinking straws, also featuring a bow detail and coming with a cleaning brush, is available for the same price. For those on the go, a glass travel mug with a bow pattern, reminiscent of the trendy Stanley cups, can be yours for just £3.

Editor's Picks: Our team's must-buys from the EOFY 2025 Sale
When it comes to the end of financial year sales, weeding through the thousands of deals trying to find what you're after can often feel not even worth the hassle. And trust me, I get it. That's what I do for a living so I know how much effort can be involved in finding a genuine bargain. With that in mind, I asked my fellow team members what they're buying this EOFY to provide you with some inspiration. Everyone on our team specialises in hunting down the best deals, so consider this your ultimate cheatsheet. Shopping writer Harriet Amurao's top pick is the ultra chic and cute lamp from Sydney owned and operated brand, Aleo. Considering the TikTok trend to never use the big light, it makes complete sense for our resident Gen Z. For the rest of the team's picks, have a look below and take my word for it when I say you'll want to read right through to the very end. WHAT THE CHECKOUT TEAM IS BUYING THIS EOFY Vesper Touch Lamp, $99 (down from $120) at Aleo Shiftique Trinket Tray, $37 (down from $52) at Aleo 'I'm really into changing up my space and have been looking for neat little additions to switch up the vibe. I recently discovered Aleo Shop and have been obsessed with their decor and lamps – specifically the Vesper Touch Lamp in Butter Yellow for mood lighting and the Shiftique Trinket Tray in Chrome (literally to die for) for jewellery and random knick-knacks. Everything is just so fun and unique, and the perfect way to add some personality to any room. What's even better is that Aleo Shop currently have up to 40 per cent off, so you best believe I'm taking advantage of that!' – Harriet Amurao, Shopping Writer Classic Bikini, $13.26 (down from $18.95) at Boody 'Last year, I discovered the comfiest undies ever thanks to my colleague Philippa's review on Boody. I grabbed a few pairs in their Black Friday sale last year and they are so soft and comfy, and importantly, don't dig in at all. I've been waiting for another sale to buy some more and right now they have 30 per cent off sitewide. I'm grabbing a few more pairs in neutral colours but have also spotted this gorgeous limited edition Rosewood colour. I'm also thinking about picking up a couple of their bras. If the bras are anything like their underwear, it's going to be super comfortable.' – Melody Teh, Deputy Editor Sage Stripe Sherpa Dressing Gown, $79 (down from $99) at The Oodie 'I've decided to hang up my Oodie after five years of faithful service. Why? It's too bulky to wear while looking after my 12-month-old son and it's also not breastfeeding friendly. But I haven't given up on Oodie completely and have purchased one of their dressing gowns in their EOFY sale. I was immediately drawn to this sage stripe (gives me Hommey vibes) and I love that they have the same sherpa fleece as the original Oodie. This dressing gown is a chic alternative to the Oodie that gives me the same warmth without all the bulk – that's a win in my books.' – Hannah Paine, checkout Editor 'My fiance and I are moving into our new house later this year and a bed for our spare room is on our long list of things to buy. I've heard great things about Ecosa mattresses and when I saw their 35 per cent off sale, I knew it would be our go-to for a spare mattress. The Essence Mattress is down to just $550 from $740 for a queen bed, and you can even select your firmness level, from plush to medium, to firm. It's a hybrid bed, which I personally believe is the best kind – springs to support, while open-cell foam offers breathable relief. It's so important that our family sleep comfortably when they come to visit, and I think this Ecosa mattress will make sure of that.' – Jessica Smith, Health and Wellness Writer 'My skin's been super dry lately, thanks to the cooler weather, so I desperately need to overhaul my skincare routine with some skin-loving and hydrating formulas. Esmi's offering a hefty discount off their best-selling (and uniquely blue coloured) Hyaluronic Hydrating Serum, so I think it's time to add it to my shopping cart. It's racked up an impressive average rating of 4.9 out of five on the Esmi website, and I love that it's water-based, so it will sit really well with the rest of my routine and under my makeup.' – Marina Tatas, Senior Shopping Writer Philips 2000 Series 4.2L Airfryer L in Black NA220/00, $99 (down from $179) at Myer 'My husband and I have been talking about getting an air fryer for ages. Everyone we ask who has one loves theirs but we've been dragging our feet around getting one. With this Philips fryer down to $99, I think it's time to bite the bullet. It has fantastic ratings, is easy to use and clean (a must for a busy family) and it doesn't use up too much benchspace.' – Stephanie Yip, Travel Writer 'I finally got my ears pierced at the beginning of the year and while I still have another month before I can replace the generic studs they give you with earrings of your choosing, I have been spending my time wisely. Over the last three months, I've been scouring the internet for the perfect pair of gold hoops, and dare I say, I just might have found them (for my price range). Coming in at 3cm in diameter and 18k gold filled metal, these earrings are currently 25 per cent off and come down to just $111.75!' – Claudia Coy, Social Media Producer 'I need a small crossbody bag with good durability and deceptively spacious insides to hold all my travel essentials with me, whether I'm on a flight or trying to stumble my way home at 3am after a concert. There are two compartments and a small divider in the main compartment so it makes organising things a breeze too. And me personally, I feel like this specific shade of green goes well with black or white clothing. But above all, pretty good value.' – James He, SEO Specialist The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket, $550 at THE ICONIC 'I am a perpetually cold person, and during winter it pretty much becomes my entire personality. Despite this, I only own one puffer jacket! So right now I am on the market for a new one to double my collection and get me through the next couple of months. I spotted the classic 1996 Retro Nuptse puffer on The Iconic for $110 off and I don't think I can resist. It's got a thick 700-fill, is water repellent and comes adjustable cuffs and a stowable hood – I'm sold! The only issue now is picking what colour.' – Rosalyn Fannin, Shopping Writer Haier 433L Bottom Mount Refrigerator, $899 (down from $1049) at The Good Guys 'My husband and I have been talking about buying a new fridge for a couple of years now. Our fridge is old and not very energy efficient, plus the interior layout is completely impractical. With one thing and another, we just haven't got around to it, but I've decided this year's EOFY sale is the time to make it happen. I don't want to spend over $1000, and quite frankly, don't need to, as there are some great deals around. I made a short list and have narrowed it down to the Haier 433L Bottom Mount Refrigerator from The Good Guys. Haier is a good brand and this fridge offers a generous 433l with big shelves, perfect for a family. It's the right dimensions, it has a 5.5 energy star rating and most importantly, it's black to go with my new kitchen cabinet handles. Can't wait until it arrives.' – Susannah Hardy, Partnerships Writer MNG Stevie Blouse, $97.46 (down from $129.95) at THE ICONIC 'I actually have already bought this top because, as a seasoned shopping writer, I know you need to get in quick during sale periods or you might miss out. I've been obsessed with boho since last year when Chloe resurrected the boho-chic it-girl trend and knew I needed to add something to my wardrobe. As soon as I saw this top from Mango, I added it to my wishlist and had been holding out hope that it would go on sale and it finally did. Considering I'm the team's fashion expert, I actually don't buy that many clothes and prefer to make considered decisions before I do, and I'm happy to say this top was worth the wait.' – Philippa Tonkin, Shopping Writer MORE END OF FINANCIAL YEAR SALES Don't forget to sign up to our free shopping newsletter – you'll get it delivered to your inbox every single week.
