As we pass the New Year and approach spring, there’s no better time to take stock of your furniture and homeware and decide to update a few items. Even a couple of small items can make a big difference to the look and feel of a room – a splash of colour with some new cushions or a change of texture with some new curtains could be all that’s needed! To help you out we’re running a home event up until 20th February which gives you 20% off selected homeware and 30% off selected furniture. For a little extra inspiration we’ve picked out some of your top rated products below:

1. Cow Doorstop 

Here’s what you had to say:

- Good fun doorstop but watch your children as mine keep taking them away and playing with them.

- I love this door stop – the thing is sooooo cute – the leather is so soft and the design is very catching to the eye. Lovely product and I would have bought more had they not sold out at the sale price!!

2. Hastings White Bedframe 

Here’s what you had to say:

 - Absolutely excellent! I would definately recommend them. My only minor issue is, please M&S let customers’ know the size of mattress to purchase – I would have thought it would make commercial sense to recommend the right size mattress along side the bed frame? Other than that I am very happy with the quality and finish of the bedframe and bedside tables. Oh and the guys who put the bed frame together were really helpful and efficient.

 - Excellent quality and matching the bunkbeds perfectly. Quickly fitted by the prompt and courteous delivery men.

 

 3. Fenchurch Butcher’s Block 

Here’s what you had to say:

- I got what I expected in that it looks good, has the functionality expected and I’ve had so many comments from friends that it’s beautiful, especially when I show them what I’ve filled the drawer with. I’ve put all my herbs and spices (many) in the drawer and can easily see and put my hands on what herb/spice I need. Excellent product, such good quality too!

- Very helpful delivery men, prompt delivery and took away all the packaging but waited until I’d fully checked the item. This really finishes off the kitchen and the quality is fantastic. Very pleased with it.

4. Large Rococo Photo Frame 20 x 25cm

Here’s what you had to say:

- I have these frames going up my stair wall. They are absolutely beautiful. They look so lovely and I am really pleased with them. However, we had to change the wall fixings on them as they were not strong enough. We also had to take off the stand as when the frame was on the wall it hung down slightly. Do I like them? Yes I love them. Would I buy them again. Yes I would, but allow a few hours for hanging and changing the wall mounts.

- Beautiful frame-looks a lot more than its £35!!!

 

5. Hamilton 12 Piece Dinner Set

Here’s what you had to say:

- I love this stoneware! Lots of oohs and aaahs from my girlfriends, it’s a beautiful blue, nice weight, curvy bowls and comforting chunky mugs. Very large dinner plates and teaplates won’t help the diet, but I still like it. Gonna buy more when I have saved up a bit.

- I was immediately drawn to this product by its contemporary look. Personally I like plain crockery which shows off the food to its best advantage and doesnt have to fight against a bold colour or busy pattern. The clean white look appealed immediately but the extra dark blue rim gave it even more allure. White lends itself to mixing and matching with other pieces too and means I could still use my current white china plates and dishes while I’m building up to a workable amount of this new china. It is dishwasher and microwave proof of course. It has the look of Denby about it I feel, solid and a bit chunky, but it stacks easily in the cupboard without taking up too much space.

6. Hexagon Quilted Cushion

Here’s what you had to say:

- Bought 2 cushions in the light red colour which looks lovely and bright, yet not overpowering. Good size and comfy. Hexagon pattern is subtle and adds a welcome texture.

- I saw the cushions in your Kingston store and when I got home I ordered them on line – they are just what I wanted for my living room and the delivery to my local M&S is a superb set up – I don’t need to be in my own home to take delivery.

7. Heritage Collection Mini Table Lamp 

Here’s what you had to say:

 - This lamp looks lovely, it’s just the right size. Before we bought this we had been looking at similar lamps but they were a lot more expensive and this one one was much better.

 - These lamps are excellent value for the style. Delighted with them.

 

8. Faux Silk Pencil Pleat Curtains 

Here’s what you had to say:

 - The curtains were relatively easy to hang and dress and the packaging creases fell out readily. The curtains look very smart and as though they could have cost much more than they did. All in all I am very pleased with them and would recommend them to anyone who wants to hang something stylish at their windows.

 - I bought these curtains in antique gold and needed the extra width for my lounge. The colour is perfect and they look wonderful. They hang well and only needed a quick iron. The quality is fantastic and they look a lot more expensive than the £99 that they cost me.
I need another pair but cannot order as nil stock and store will not take order nor can they tell me when or if they will be in stock? Very odd ! Still waiting patiently!

 

9. Chocolate Damask Rug 

Here’s what you had to say:

 - The rug is thick and, so far, I have noticed very little shedding; however, it is in a position where it is seldom walked on. I should mention that the rug it is not cream and brown, as it appears on the photo- but rather beige and brown.

 - We brought this rug for our living room. Looks great and of good quality. Expected the tuft to be slightly more thicker but apart from that we’re very happy.

 

10. Athenian Column Floor Lamp

Here’s what you had to say:

 - Lovely lamp, fitted a dimmer unit on the cable to give variable light levels as required for mood lighting or brighter for reading, very pleased with this since purchased about 3 years ago.

 - A very stylish lamp looks well with the table lamp. As other reviewers indicated remove the 4 grub screws to assemble the column.
