Briscoes
There’s always a sale so it’s a great place to bag a bargain. Browse plenty of sheets, linen, towels and duvets for a different look in the bedroom; storage options to hide clutter and help organise items; and dining and cutlery options perfect for spring barbeques and dinner parties. You can even find out about their sales before the TV ads by joining the Better Buys Club.
nest
Nest offer some luxurious products like Corsica towels, porcelain dinnerware, Lillia cushions and a range of metal and wood photoframes. Simply walking into their store in Newmarket conjures inspiration for home decorating. A fairylight-esque garland can be formed into a chandelier to bring different light shades into the room while the Festa outdoor coloured garland is excellent for garden parties.
Styledirect
Styledirect does modern ornaments and funky trinkets well. If you want to inject a bit of New York loft street cred into your home - just have a browse of their website for inspiration.
Ezibuy
Behind the clothes are some nice homeware pieces like luxurious and affordable bed linen, high tea sets, simple yet elegant bedside tables and even a decorative flamingo if you were so inclined! You can order from the catalogue, online or buy instore. There’s quite a big range of items that you might not expect from a clothing store and plenty of sales occur.
The Homestore
Specialising in appliances, kitchen and diningware, the Homestore is worth checking out for all the necessities and the odd bits and bobs. They provide a good range of styles with blenders, coffee machines and food processors in all colours. Their mohair throw range is also a lovely way to update bed covers and couches.
