Where To Buy Homewares.

One of the questions I get asked most is where I shop for home pieces. As you’ll know, we moved in to an entirely empty apartment back in June so it’s been one big mission trying to fill the place – but I think we’re just about there! I’ve come across so many amazing online destinations for home buys, so I thought I’d introduce them here…

Furniture
I tend to buy second hand when it comes to furniture, and then spray paint it white or copper – or find some other way to update it by searching Pinterest for inspiration. However, I think you can also find some amazing bits at IKEA – providing you stay away from the obvious choices. Again, look for ways you can hack the item to make it look more unique. I’m currently going around my house and changing all the handles on chest of drawers and cabinets to give them more charm – eBay has hundreds of cute knobs for cheap. I also recommend check Gumtree and also browsing places like Dunelm Mill, Made.com and even Tesco.

Trinkets Etc.
My house is filled to the brim with little knick knacks and ornaments, pineapple shaped lamps and Eiffel towers everywhere. I have a few places that I go to for stunning pieces; Graham & Green is one of my favourite stores – it has everything from rugs to bookends, furniture to lighting. If you’re looking for something quirky and cool, here’s the place to go.
I also love browsing Rockett St George, a similar site with lots of interesting buys. I really could buy everything from here!
There’s also Oliver Bonas for all your bright, colour homeware needs, H&M Home for just about everything from dining to bedding – I shop on here weekly as I love it so, ZARA Home for some really beautiful bits, BHS and Laura Ashley for lighting and other things and also Debenhams.

I also really recommend browsing Wilkinsons for vases, DIY things and just general home bits. I get a lot from there and it’s surprisingly good! I also really rate eBay for finding replicas or just general bits and pieces – here’s a few lovely pieces I’ve come across:

Bertoia Style Diamond Chair
Eames Style Eiffel Chairs
Ladder Shelves
Berber Style Rug
Another Berber Style Rug
Tom Dixon Style Copper Lights

Hopefully some of you will have found this helpful! Let me know if there’s any other places you recommend…!
