Taking to TikTok, the interiors fan, who posts via the account @maskedreno, shared how anyone can enjoy "up to 75% off" everything from sofas to lamps.
The secret? Heading to one of Dunelm's outlet shops.
In the viral clip, the bargain hunter said: "I wasn't expecting to find much as when I went I couldn't find anything except for an odd yellow sticker, but then I went upstairs and boy, there was so much. 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."
The sprawling space was stacked with discounted finds, including a trendy wooden side cabinet, originally priced at £499 but reduced to just £125.
And another even larger cabinet was slashed from £729 to £182.
The shop also had plenty of lighting up for grabs, including a stylish table lamp which was originally priced at £20 but was marked down to £14.
The discount shop had other items as well, including a sweet rattan shelf in the shape of a hot air balloon - perfect for kids' bedrooms.
The shopper even spotted a kids desk and stool set for just £38.50, reduced from £55.
Fellow shopping fans couldn't believe they didn't know about the discount shops as one commented on the clip: "Omg I need to go ASAP!"
Molly-Mae swears by £22 Dunelm buy she 'can't go anywhere without' for great sleep & says it's the 'best thing' she owns
Meanwhile, other interior fans were shocked by how stylish some of the reduced items looked.
"Wow that navy chest of drawers is so nice," one pointed out.
The pest part is there are multiple outlet shops across the country in Beckton, Birmingham Highgate, Bradford, Fenton, Rochdale, and Ilkeston.
Dunelm bosses said: "Our in-store Dunelm Outlets are ideal for snapping up that ex-display piece you've already seen and admired, nearly-new items with a minor blemish, recent returns that are looking for their forever homes and more, for less!
"They offer a wide range of discounted furniture including living room furniture, dining room furniture, bedroom furniture as well as beds, mattresses, sofas and armchairs.
And if you can't get to one of them, you can also shop online from Dunelm's return outlet.
The site features items that have been ordered by a customer previously, but returned.
Don't worry though, the Dunelm team checks over all items to ensure they're still in perfect condition.
And if you do find an issue with an item you can get a refund or repair - so it's a win-win.
What discounts are available?
"Our outlets have products reduced up to 70%," Dunelm bosses said.
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.
