A new season means a wave of fresh designs, often with prices to match. So our Interiors Editor went hunting for all the best affordable home decor instead. Nothing that will blow the budget, simply unique, stylish, and covetable pieces.

When it comes to our high street, we’re spoilt for choice. Especially when it comes to homewares. I’m the first to admit that I love iconic design, but when my bank card isn’t a fan, you’ll find me hitting up H&M Home or Zara Home. They know how to deliver impeccable creations, from sleek vases to uber-cool lamps, all of which wouldn’t look out of place in a designer home.
