5 AMAZING STORES FOR ALL YOU NEED IN YOUR HOME…

Published on by barmac51 Comment

Here are my pick of 5 amazing stores for all you need in your home.

1. If you like Nordic cool, then Skandium is perfect for you. With great Danish and Swedish lifestyle products. It has an easy and user-friendly online presence which offers an even broader range of products than those found in store. Expensive products but very unique.

2. One of my absolute favourites the Conran shop. Sitting at the higher end of the spectrum, it is a fantastic place for finding gifts and furnishings, from quintessential brands to lesser-known boutique artisans.

3. Zara home, another favourite of mine and one I would always visit when in Spain to look for something not available in the U.K. It has achieved a clever fusion of Spanish chic and Nordic simplicity in a haven of whites and taupes. I’m really into linen table collections of which they have many and worth looking through.

4. The White Company – what can you not like about The White Company? I could spend all day on the website and run out of space to save items I want to buy. In particular, there gorgeous bedding range.

5. H&M Home who seem to cater for every trend. H&M Home also has great bedding and bathroom ranges all at very affordable prices.
