Homeware Haul

So finally I have my own place! Which of course means my hours on Pinterest admiring homeware and decor designs have become a reality plus I now work for a homeware/furniture store which doesn't help the bank so I thought I'd share with you a few of my recent purchases...

So first of all, I have gone for a sort of Grey, White and Pink theme in my room with a few copper accessories. I already had the battery powered fairy lights from uni which I got from Primark for £2.50 along with the cushion which was from the Range. The duvet set is from Dunelm for about £24 - my new favourite store which you will notice a regular re-occurance throughout this post.

This adorable trinket dish comes I think comes from my favourite online stationary and homeware store Typo for £6.

 The copper cup which I use to store my makeup brushes came from Amazon for £5.99 and I originally found the candle holder on ASOS for £10 however I purchased the last one and then found them again on Amazon for £11.

Ok so there is a bit of a re-occuring  round mirrored copper dish came from Amazon for £4.99. I am still trying the best sort of things to put in it but I am thinking maybe a couple of tea-light holders or simply as another, larger trinket dish.

I brought this copper wire basket as a set of two with one of them is smaller than the other from ASOS for £20 - yes okay this was a pricey purchase but I couldn't find anything similar anywhere else. Ideally I was looking for two that were the same size but these have continued to do just what I need them to. They fit perfectly into these square units that I brought form IKEA. I use one for all of my paperwork and file storage and the other for hair products mostly.

This is my favourite purchase of them all, a Teddy Bear Rug from Dunelm which I brought for £29.99. It is the softest loveliest to stand on rug and I am completely in love with it. Everything about it is perfect, the colour, the size, everything! If you live near a Dunelm then do go and try it out, I have heard rumours of a Teddy Bear Blanket which I would love to try out as well. 

This mirror is amazing. You may have seen them before but I brought it from The Range for £75 which is again expensive but I feel it is totally worth it! The front of the mirror opens and reveals a jewellery cupboard inside. I actually use it as you see for hair accessories, nail varnish and makeup palettes!

So that was my little haul, there are many more beautiful purchases that I made which I could easily ramble on for ages about but I thought I'd leave it as a small snippet and maybe you'll see the other pieces throughout other posts. I might put together a Pinterest board over the up coming week of everything so feel free to head on over and take a look! https://uk.pinterest.com/Sammys_Bubble/

Why I love The Range

Anyone that knows me can tell you that I absolutely LOVE homeware! The Range is a chain store in the UK...if you don't know it then think of Ikea but smaller and more home accessories as oppose to flatpack furniture and it is so affordable. My room is full of stuff from The Range and even being sat here now I'm looking at my rug (thats under a pile of stuff) and thinking yeah that might have come from there too...I've lost track but here are a few things that I have purchased in the past year from there, they don't rotate their stock too often so they may have a few of these things still if you see something you like.

1- Pack of 2 White wicker baskets with a blue, fish covered lining. I don't have much space in my student room so its all about temporary storage and different ways to organise things.

2- Cushions, all four of these cushions are from from The Range, I actually brought two of the white fluffy cushions and left one back home because they are so soft

3- Fake Flowers, just something to brighten up the room a little bit.

4- Colourful bins, I keep these three on my windowsill with all my bath bombs from Lush in them - NOT Bath Melts...I learnt that the hard way and had to share a bath with the pink bin

5- White old looking watering can with some more fake flowers in them

6- Floral Bunting

I can't wait to get my own place as I will be spending an awful amount of time in The Range.
