Spring Homeware Refresh: Top Picks from High Street Retailers
As spring brings lighter days, high street retailers have launched fresh homeware collections to brighten up living spaces. After a visit to the Trafford Centre, Shawna Healey shared her favorite finds from Next, Marks and Spencer, H&M Home, and Anthropologie, offering inspiration for a seasonal home makeover.
Next: Lighting and Bedding Highlights
Shawna's first stop was Next, where she was impressed by the variety of stylish lamps. She noted, "If I had more space, I would have bought three new lamps immediately, but I had to show some restraint." A standout item was the Blue Stripe Bobbin Millie Table Lamp, priced at £38, featuring a beaded wooden stem, striped fabric shade, and circular base for an upscale look.
For those willing to invest more, the Rockett St George Petal Table Lamp costs £115, with a deep green base and petal-shaped pink shade for botanical elegance. In bedding, Next offers the Natural Tufted Spot Duvet and Pillowcase Set from £35, with beige cotton and cream polka dots, or the bold Orange Campion Ruffle Duvet and Pillowcase Set from £50, featuring vibrant flower prints and ruffled edges.
H&M Home: Floral Bedding Collections
At H&M Home, Shawna highlighted the Floral Cotton Duvet and Pillowcase Set, on sale from £42.50, available in three soft colors with botanical designs. Complementing this, the Floral Patterned Fitted Sheet costs £17, with detailed cottage garden prints on a cream background, perfect for pairing with plain duvet covers.
Marks and Spencer: Scandinavian-Inspired Decor
M&S's spring collection has a Scandinavian feel, blending natural colors and textures. The Pure Cotton Gingham Bedding Set starts at £25, featuring oversized checks and ticking stripes. For decor, the Large Striped Ceramic Vase is £25.50, with dark glazed stripes for a contemporary focal point.
The Evelyn Wooden Bobbin Table Lamp costs £79, similar to Next's but in neutral shades, with a traditional wooden base and linen-style shade. Additionally, M&S offers summery melamine picnicware, such as the Floral Picnic Side Plates at £16 for four, adorned with vibrant blooms.
