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."

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.

And two new parents used savvy steps to create a fancy looking nursery. Another woman received mixed reactions after giving her hallway a makeover. A Homebase buy can also be used to level up your bedroom.

Shoppers loving 'realistic' solar garden lights that look like flowers and are less than €25
Garden enthusiasts have stumbled upon a brilliant way to spruce up their outdoor spaces, snatching up some clever solar-powered garden lights from Amazon. These eco-friendly lights skip the hassle of complex wiring or unattractive cables by harnessing energy directly from the sun. Priced at €23.81, these garden beauties mimic real flowers, and have garnered applause from buyers for their 'realistic' appearance. The offer includes two bunches in each pack, with each display boasting 40 blossoming flowers. For those eager to personalise their gardens, there's a variety of hues to pick from including blue, pink, red, yellow, and white, reports the Express. Delighted Amazon shoppers report that the lights are 'beautiful both day and night' and stand out as 'great for people who can not have real flowers'. Featuring two distinct lighting modes – steady and twinkling – the Snow Lotus flower lights cast an enchanting glow perfect for lively soirées or tranquil evenings spent outdoors during the summer months. Given the Ireland's notorious weather changes, even in summertime there's always the chance of a sudden shower. Nevertheless, consumers declare their Amazon garden light purchases a success, stating: "I bought these so that we'd have something that looks pretty and lights up where our steps are in the garden. It works very well and now we don't fall in the dark. Nice quality and they've withstood some heavy wind and rain recently and are still functioning well." Dunelm's Sophie Robinson LED Outdoor Solar String Lights are a charming addition to brighten up your garden. Retailing at €29.78, customers rave about how they look 'sparkling in the garden at night time'. Lights4fun's Flower Shaped Micro LED Solar Stake Lights have been slashed to €35.72 and are receiving glowing reviews from buyers who appreciate them 'even when they are not lit up'. Feedback on Amazon's selection confirms their popularity. A satisfied customer commented: "Amazing quality. These and every colour I've ordered from this supplier are stunning. Light up my garden, love fab in the daytime. Nothing not to love." Another buyer shared: "They look like flowers and you can gently bend and arrange them where you want them. Very pretty indeed and my friend has already asked where I got them to buy some, recommend highly." However, one less impressed shopper remarked: "Nice when lit up,but don't stay on for long. Not worth the money." Contrastingly, another reviewer expressed delight: "I am so pleased with these lights. The colours of them at night are amazing. They are easy to install, good quality and just the right size for any garden. Really good value and so versatile."
