Shoppers can nab a stylish decor buy without breaking the budget, but you'll want to be quick. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A Morrisons shopper shared a furniture deal currently available from the supermarket Credit: Facebook/ExtremeCouponingAndBargainsUK The furniture piece is currently on sale at a reduced price from the popular supermarket. A shopper shared the deal in the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Home Bargains UK. Bargain buy The Wankast Wall Unit Koopman Cabinet Large is available for just £15 from Morrisons. However, the sale signage prompted customers to act fast, reminding them "when it's gone, it's gone". The minimalist shelving unit can be used to display everything from houseplants to ornaments. Interior design approved Interiors experts at Lahart Carpentry explained the benefits of adding wall units in your space. They pointed out that built-in shelves can help to utilise vertical space. "To maximise space efficiency, incorporating built-in shelves that use vertical space is a smart design choice," the pros said. "Maximising storage is essential in smaller rooms, and vertical shelving allows for more items to be stored without taking up valuable floor space." As well as helping to boost your storage, wall units can also give the illusion of a bigger space. I wanted a panelled room but wasn't going to spend loads so risked it & bought £36 strips from Temu - I saved a fortune "Creating height with built-in shelves draws the eye upwards, making the room appear larger and more spacious," the experts explained. "Functional elegance can be achieved by incorporating built-ins that not only serve a practical purpose but also enhance the overall aesthetic of the room. "By strategically incorporating vertical built-ins, one can create a room that not only looks bigger but also functions more efficiently." More interior design tips A viral interior design trend could be making your home look "cheap", according to one expert. Plus, the B&M and Primark buys one homeowner used to transform their balcony. Dunelm's top interior design trends for 2025 Maximalism Maximalism is about unleashing your creativity and bringing joy to everything around you, day in and day out. Bold pattern combinations of florals, checks and geometrics set the tone with a bright joyous colour palette that holds everything together. Don't mistake Maximalism for having loads of stuff, it's about mixing and matching florals, layering key pieces and storytelling throughout your home, and ultimately doing things your own way. Dunelm's new collaboration with Sophie Robinson is all about that. Minimaluxe The interiors world has witnessed the evolution of "minimalism" into a richer, more luxurious iteration. The goal is quiet luxury - simplicity with a sense of sophistication. Minimaluxe focuses on creating spaces that are pared down yet warm, elegant, and inviting. Gloriously tactile textures, in a palette of warm neutrals, with hints of caramel and gold, complete the look. Introducing softer forms and round edges to avoid a space feeling overly stark The Edit Built on the philosophy that having fewer thoughtfully designed and well-made things helps us leave a lighter imprint on the earth. Interior design is shifting to be inspired by the natural world, and all its perfect imperfections. Take Dunelm's The Edited Life collection, it focuses on natural materials like wicker, jute and linens - as well as décor pieces and hand-thrown pottery vessels that feature forms dictated by the artisan's mark. Soft relaxed fabric textures mixed with uneven wood grains help bring this neutral, look together. New Nouveau Blending 19th century inspired maximalism with a contemporary colour palette this collection takes inspiration from the ornamental art form from the Nouveau era. Rich and luxurious, blending a little bit of history with a more modern aesthetic you can mix and layer into your home. Stylised Lily motifs adorn sumptuous textiles and wallpapers mixed with marbling & stained glass vintage style lighting for a vintage inspired look, with a modern twist.

Truth as Arsenal star splits with agent to spark new twist in Rodrygo deal saga
Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard has this week split with his long-standing representative to sign with DH Sports and Entertainment Agency Leandro Trossard's split from his agent Josy Comhair is not directly linked to his uncertain Arsenal future. The Belgian winger has now signed with German-based DH Sports and Entertainment Agency, sparking speculation he's actively seeking a move away from the Emirates. However, Mirror Football understands Trossard mutually agreed to part company with long-standing representative Comhair, who is battling health problems. The separation was totally amicable even though Comhair had been leading negotiations with Arsenal over a potential contract extension. Trossard's current deal in north London runs until the summer of 2026 but it's understood Arsenal hold a one-year extension option the club can formally trigger. The 30-year-old wants to stay at Arsenal but so far, talks over fresh terms have stalled and failed to reach a positive conclusion to date. Discussions have been centred around a pay-rise and were not certain to include an extension of the length of Trossard's contract but no agreement has been reached thus far. It's understood suitable offers for Trossard may yet be considered this summer, should they land on the table because there has been no breakthrough between the parties. Arsenal are firm admirers of Real Madrid's Rodrygo and are aware the Brazilian could yet be available this summer for the right price as he has struggled for minutes at the Club World Cup under Xabi Alonso. But in order to facilitate that deal - plus the potential capture of Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze and a top-class centre-forward - there might yet need to be a notable sale come the end of the window. Financially, Arsenal remain in good stead and are not currently at risk of breaching PSR regulations but they will need to ratify some departures for the sake of their future financial records if they're to continue spending notable cash. Sources have indicated there is still active Saudi Pro League interest in Trossard, who was the subject of a rejected verbal offer from Al-Ittihad last summer, and there have also been tentative enquiries from Europe, namely Italy and Turkey, in recent weeks. But at this stage, Arsenal are yet to receive any concrete proposals for the player and he still remains part of Mikel Arteta's plans for the forthcoming campaign. Trossard struck 10 goals and 10 assists in 56 appearances in all competitions last season and his availability and versatility is regarded as a huge asset at the Emirates. Comhair had represented Trossard since he broke into the senior setup at Genk but relations between the pair remain full of respect, according to sources.

All the restaurants closing in July including huge Asian chain and fine-dining spot
The hospitality industry is struggling, but why? We reveal all you need to know below GOODBYE MY FRIEND All the restaurants closing in July including huge Asian chain and fine-dining spot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SWATHE of restaurants are shutting in July including a huge Asian chain and beloved fine-dining spot. Customers will be devastated after finding out their local haunts are closing for good. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 A host of restaurants are closing this month Credit: Alamy It comes as the restaurant industry struggles amid high energy prices, wholesale costs and tax hikes. Here are all the restaurants shutting this month. Ping Pong Popular Asian restaurant chain Ping Pong has shuttered all of its UK locations and ceased trading after 20 years. The chain was first founded back in 2005 by restaurateur Kurt Zdesar and 13 venues quickly popped up within four years. At its peak, the chain ran 12 restaurants across London, but in a recent Instagram post it announced all locations were now shut. "It's a wrap. After 20 unforgettable years, all Ping Pong locations are now permanently closed," the owners said. "We're incredibly proud of what we built, an independent hospitality brand full of creativity, flavour and soul. 'To everyone who joined us over the years, for dim sum dates, happy hours, bottomless brunches, and just-because catch-ups – thank you… It's been sum-thing truly special." The Angel of Dartmouth Historic fine-dining restaurant The Angel of Dartmouth is due to shut on July 6. The spot, headed up by a former MasterChef contestant, is based on the harbour-front and offers customers modern British cuisine and local produce. Famous fast-food chain dubbed 'Britain's rudest restaurant' to close final UK branch and teases future plans However, it will be forced to shut after citing "difficult trading conditions" and changing diner tastes. A statement from the restaurant read: "For over four decades, The Angel has been at the heart of the town's vibrant culinary scene, a beacon of fine dining and innovation that began with its visionary founder, industry titan Joyce Molyneux. "Joyce's pioneering leadership placed The Angel on the national food map, inspiring a generation of chefs and restaurateurs. "It has been a privilege for us to be the latest custodians of such a historic name, and we have both cherished the opportunity to oversee a restaurant with such a remarkable legacy." Croma Beloved Italian chain Croma is set to close one its restaurants in Chorlton, Manchester, on July 28. The spot first opened in 2005 and underwent a revamp in 2023, with a conservatory extension and external patio dining area added. It is known for its pizzas and other favourites including Tandoori chicken, crab pappardelle and lasagne. In a statement, the bosses of Croma, which will only have one restaurant remaining after the Chorlton closure, said: "After 20 amazing years, we're sadly saying goodbye." "Our beloved Chorlton restaurant will be closing its doors at 10pm on Sunday, July 28. 'Join us one last time and come down to raise a glass and share a slice of fabulous Pizza as we celebrate two decades of incredible memories with our wonderful community. "Let's make these final weeks unforgettable.' Why are restaurants struggling? Restaurant chains have been struggling recently as the higher cost of living has led to fewer people spending on eating out. Businesses have also been struggling to bounce back after the pandemic. A number have been faced with added costs more recently, including a hike to employer National Insurance contributions and the national minimum wage in April. As a result, a number of chains have been forced to close down or reduce their estate. A recent "red flag" report from consultancy Begbies Traynor found bars and restaurants are under significant financial strain. It found more than 30% were in "critical" financial distress in the preceding 12 months. PEACH, a restaurant group based in East Hertfordshire, recently announced the immediate closure of both its sites after five years. A host of celebrity chefs have been forced to close their restaurants too.
