We’re all for saving up for those ‘forever’ pieces, but our love for the British high street runs deep. Curating a space with stylish, gorgeous pieces shouldn’t cost a fortune, so here, The Handbook’s Fashion & Lifestyle Editor, Astrid Carter, shares her top new-season high street homeware picks that could easily pass for designer.

We’re always on the hunt for a Pinterest-worthy space, but reality steps in when it comes to the budget. If you take a little time to scroll through the new-season high street editions, though, you’ll find some absolute gems.

These are the pieces I really rate – trust me, no one will ever guess they’re high street.
