The best high-street homeware buys to bag now
These cherry-picked pieces show that there’s more covetable design available on the high street than ever before...
These days, you don’t always need a designer budget to make your home look and feel high-end – it’s all about balancing the high with the low. From characterful ceramics to tabletop pieces that look far more expensive than they are, the high street is experiencing a boom with collaborations and an upgraded materials palette. Here, we’ve rounded up the pieces worth adding to your shopping basket.

Industrial and ultra-contemporary, stainless steel is a material that looks much more pricey than it is. This set, which is perfect for slow breakfasts in bed, is a case in point. £19.99, zarahome.com
