Savvy interiors fans race to B&M as ‘stunning' £100 chair scanning for just £30
SAVVY shoppers are flocking to B&M to get their hands on a piece of "stunning" furniture that's been heavily reduced. So if you're looking to make an interiors upgrade but don't want to break the bank, you've come to the right place. 2 2 One bargain hunter couldn't believe her luck after she spotted the originally priced at £100 for just £30. This works out at 70 per cent off and a huge £70 saving. Posting in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, which boasts 2.6million followers, they said: "These chairs are scanning at £30 in B&M! Bargain!" The Louise chair comes in cream or green and is the perfect accent piece for any home, adding a touch of style to your space. With a luxurious velvet finish and wooden legs, it would fit in perfectly in a dressing room or bedroom. The chair sits at 58cm wide and 72cm high, with a depth of 68cm, and can hold weight of approximately 100kg. It is no longer available on the website, so you'll have to be quick to pick it up in your nearest store. And savvy shoppers are now racing to get their hands on the bargain buy before it sells out. One said: "I literally just saw this. Will have to go and have a look." "I need one", cried somebody else. I went to B&M for a radiator cover & came out with £230 of furniture for £40 - here's how I nabbed such epic bargains A third wrote: "Just got the last one from ours, thank you." Another person simply hailed it as "stunning". A fifth chimed in: "We need to pop and see if we can get one." Meanwhile, a sixth said: "I need one of these for the girls room if you see one." It's not the only offer at B&M in recent weeks. The popular store has launched a huge sale on garden kit, with the cheapest item selling for just £1. Over 50 products have been reduced in price, including a Solar Table Lamp that is on sale for just £1. The product, which can be used to light up your garden at night originally cost £1.50 but has had its price reduced by 33%. And that is not all the retailer has also cut the price of Johnstone's Paint by 25% for those looking to do some DIY. The paint usually goes for £15 at B&M but it is now scanning for £11.25. Those looking to pick up some garden furniture also have a chance to save £150 on a Bali 8 Seater Dining Table Set, which now costs £350 Why B&M is so good for bargains SENIOR Digital Writer, Abby Wilson, who loves a shopping trip to B&M, has shared her thoughts on why the chain is the place to go for bargain buys... WE all love B&M (especially me). It's a one-stop-shop where you can nab all things from gardenware and homeware, to snacks and cleaning supplies. Not only do we love the variety B&M offers (because after all, who can be bothered to go to five different shops anymore?!), but the prices are brilliant too. If you're on a budget, B&M is definitely worth vising - as it's full of cheap bargain buys. Not only will you find affordable items, but B&M is full of dupes too - so if you're after beauty buys without the designer price tag, you'll need to take a trip. Similar to this, the chain are eager to get on trends - so if you see something in H&M Home but are on a budget and can't justify the price, give it a few weeks and you'll probably spot something similar on the shelves in your local B&M.

In New York, a $370,000 Renovation Gave an Awkward Living Space Better Flow
Joe McGuier and Megan Prime, co-founders of JAM, a Brooklyn-based architecture and interiors studio, rarely try to talk clients out of a big project. This couple couldn't decide between apartments in two Fifth Avenue buildings. One had two smaller, but more modern units that JAM would gut and combine into one apartment, the other was a prewar condo that was large, but poorly laid out. McGuier didn't hesitate to steer them to the simpler project in the prewar building. 'The single apartment was already quite spacious, but it had this awkward living-dining room-entry,' he says. 'We told them if we combine these rooms, you'll have an amazing space with six windows overlooking the park.' The clients, who are in their early 40s and work in finance and the arts, were near closing on the two-apartment option. Instead, they shifted gears and paid just under $6 million for the single condo. The renovation time—an important consideration for a family with two children—was under a year versus two-plus years to combine units.

Drew Barrymore's new dining room furniture collection features the most stylish '70s-inspired pieces I've ever seen – they're available from $296 at Walmart
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The '70s are enduring for a reason: the interiors of this sunny decade are warm, elevated, and highly versatile. Now, Drew Barrymore has recreated some of the beloved silhouettes from this era with her new dining room furniture collection for her Walmart line, Beautiful by Drew. The drop features a small and large dining table, bar-height chairs, and dining chairs, all of which come in both honey wood and black finishes. Not to mention, they are extremely well-priced. With all pieces under $400, these picks are a great way to get the '70s look (which has been making quite the comeback lately) at a fraction of the cost. Small dining rooms meet their match with this 42-inch, rounded table, with a contemporary feel and fluted pattern. It would be the perfect accent in a kitchen breakfast nook to add both function and flair. From $296.00 at Walmart Seating up to six people, this table is both durable and elegant, coming in a warm wood or matte black finish. It's the ideal piece for making a formal dining room feel more current and refreshing. From $376.00 at Walmart With dowel-style wood legs and a horseshoe-shaped back, these chairs have a vintage feel with a budget-friendly price tag at $249.00 for a set of two. Eating at the kitchen island has never looked so chic. From $249.00 at Walmart Similar to the counter-height chairs, these dining seats are chic and refined, with the choice between boucle cream or beige and cream striped cushions. The open space at the back makes them the perfect choice for a small dining room. From $219.00 at Walmart The small dining table is particularly noteworthy for those of us looking for small dining room ideas. At 42 inches, this round table is perfect for compact areas, comfortably seating up to four people. Its larger counterpart, meanwhile, is a fantastic option for those who want the same look but have a larger space. The table is outfitted with two fluted legs rather than one, though it comes in the same warm wood shade, and opts for an oval base. Meanwhile, the dining chair options are perfect for both kitchen island seating or traditional dining tables. The stool-height chairs tuck in nicely to a breakfast nook, while the regular-sized ones are truly essentials for any dining area. Both come with an option between a bouclé cream or beige and cream striped linen fabric cushion, combining slight texture and pattern with the chair's sleek, matte finish. Both the chairs and tables also come in a black variation, perfect for those who are working with either monochromatic or contemporary kitchens and dining rooms. The dining table decor ideas with these items are endless: vintage table settings would look fantastic with these pieces, from rattan placemats to mixed and matched napkin rings. For those looking to infuse some retro-inspired furnishings into their homes, this collection is one to add to your wishlist.

UK luxury homeware brand LUSSO eyes UAE expansion as part of £1 billion growth strategy
Crafting iconic spaces for the Middle East's new era of luxury living British luxury homeware brand LUSSO is accelerating its global expansion with a strategic move into the UAE, part of a bold five-year plan to become a £1 billion business. The announcement follows a year of impressive growth, during which the company surpassed its financial targets by 10 per cent and strengthened its international footprint, now shipping to over 90 countries. Founded in 2014, LUSSO has quickly become a go-to name in the global interiors space, known for its architecturally awarded stone baths, sleek basins, and design-led homeware collections. LUSSO is renowned for its exclusive use of Tiffany Marble, one of the world's rarest materials. The brand creates bespoke, made-to-order products from this exquisite marble, ensuring each piece is unique to the customer. Now, with the launch of a new global e-commerce platform and plans for a physical showroom in the UAE, the brand is bringing its vision of luxury living to one of the world's fastest-growing interiors markets. Wayne Spriggs, founder and CEO of LUSSO said: 'The UAE is one of the most elusive luxury interiors markets globally right now. With world-class developments underway, such as the Saudi Vision 2030, and a consumer base that values both craftsmanship and quality, it's a natural next step for us. We see the Emirates as a regional hub and a strategic gateway to the broader MENA market.' Showroom to open in the UAE LUSSO's dedicated UAE website launched in 2023 and has already delivered exceptional results, with customer demand in the region exceeding all expectations. Now, the company is preparing to open its first UAE showroom, allowing clients to experience LUSSO's hallmark craftsmanship in person. The Middle East has quickly become a focal point for the brand's expansion. Its products have already featured in a number of high-profile projects, including within Saudi Vision 2030, positioning itself at the heart of luxury homeware design. Over the past decade, LUSSO has built a loyal customer base that spans luxury homeowners, architects, and interior designers. Its reputation has attracted some of the world's most prestigious names, with their products featured in Claridge's and The Connaught in London, The Venetian in Las Vegas, and iconic brands such as LVMH, Tiffany & Co, and Harrods. This global recognition has played a central role in LUSSO's fast-paced growth and its continued success in entering new markets. At the core of LUSSO's next chapter is digital transformation. In partnership with Shopify, the brand is developing a cutting-edge e-commerce platform set to launch in Q2 of 2025. The new site will expand its offering beyond bathrooms to include lighting, furniture, flooring, and accessories, positioning LUSSO to become the UK's leading luxury homeware department store. This digital-first approach gives the company a scalable, capital-efficient model for global growth, something investors are increasingly drawn to in a post-pandemic retail landscape. LUSSO's ambition to reach £1 billion in valuation is driven by investment in innovation, sustainability, and talent. The company is refining its supply chain to meet the highest environmental standards, researching more sustainable materials and packaging solutions, and ensuring product longevity remains a central value. "LUSSO has always been about redefining luxury living, and the past 12 months have proven that our ambition knows no limits," says Spriggs. 'From exceeding our growth targets to expanding into new global markets, every milestone brings us closer to our goal of becoming a £1 billion brand. With continued investment in innovation, product design, and exceptional talent, we are more confident than ever in our future,' he added. As LUSSO prepares for the next phase of its global journey, the UAE is central to its strategy. With robust demand for high-end interiors and a booming luxury property market, the region offers the perfect backdrop for the next evolution of the brand.

I could've spend ages in there. "I do love a good deal, if anyone's decorating or buying their new home I recommend checking this place out."

Bargains that are considered 'as new' are reduced by 30%, and items that are slightly damaged will be marked as 50% off And for DIY fans an upcycling lovers, there's 70% of certain items too. But there's no time to hang around if you do spot something you love, as someone else might bag it first. 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.
