Sale shopping: interior design must haves

THE SALES

I’ve been trawling the net so you don’t have to go finding some drool-worthy interior design products at some January sale bargain prices.

Oh how I wish my house sale had gone through by now (doesn’t it just take FOREVER!) and I could get busy piling up my virtual cart with some great bargains that are out in the January sales right now. I usually have mixed feelings about shopping after the Christmas binge (bit guility at my ability to consume) and I for one cannot abide sale shopping. I find it so depressing when all the shops look so disheveled and the poor shop assistants even more so.

But the internet stays shining and alluring all year round. So after a super wise friend of mine said to me this morning, that purchasing is ok if its a celebration rather than a compensation it really got me thinking. My home is gorgeous as it is (warm, dry, full of the people I love) so shopping for me is no compensation. But I do love to celebrate all the design talent out there which is why I love to shop.  And I Luuuuuurve to shop online, so super convenient, and accessible. And as my wise friend also said, It’s good to shop- it keeps the energy flowing. As if you lot need any more convincing!

So for your delectation I’ve been having a little peruse this afternoon, and have found my fave eight (Ok there were loads more than that but I couldn’t fit them all on the page) interior design products and fave eight fashion items that I think are a bit of a steal and digging my style groove. Enjoy…and celebrate don’t compensate!

January sale shopping for Interiors room scheme

  2. I’m aways banging on about how light fittings should be hung low and the bigger the better. Well this one fits the bill on both counts. Multishade light fitting, a great interior design product £49.50, Angel at my table. (was £165)
  3. Replacing cupboard knobs on existing furniture is a cheap and cheerful way to update. Dice door knobs, £1.05 each, Graham and Green. (was £3.50)
  4. I think every interior design scheme should have something a little witty and irreverent. And these bizarre gold bins make me smile! Decorative ceramic binoculars, £4.50, John Lewis. (was £15)
  5. Oh how I love this bold rubber plant print. And the huge discount is giving me palpitations!  Tarrovine ‘Geffrye’ chair, £975, House of Hackney (was £2295)
  6. Sequins, rainbow colours, modern geometric. Whats not to love? Jonathan Adler Nico Fractal cushion, £71.55, Amara (was £238.50)
  7. It’s important to invest in items with soul and hand blown glass is just that. Beautiful. Madras small rose hand-blown tumbler, £26.26, The Conran Shop (was £35)
  8. This has to be my BEST BUY. Super design, team it with a bright drum shade, also on sale at high street fave M&S. Tonga spotted table lamp base, £22.50, Marks and Spencer. (was £49.50)

Want to add a bolt of joyful colour? There is no b Want to add a bolt of joyful colour? There is no better way than fresh flowers. I picked these Spring blooms up on my supermarket shop. I love this time of year as flowers are so abundant and affordable. Here’s how to make a stylish display with just a few bunches. - First choose a selection of vessels. I’m theming mine with these striped jugs I got in Marrakech - Next trim back excess leaves and snip off the stem ends at a slight angle - For impact keep them bunched together in groups rather than mixing them up - Group them all together, playing with different heights and Voila! 💐 Have a gorgeous bank holiday! Hope you’re doing something nice x

Feeling stuck on how to make your home flow - with Feeling stuck on how to make your home flow - without it all looking the same? You’re not alone. One of the biggest challenges with bold, maximalist decorating is getting that sweet spot where every room feels unique and still sings in harmony with the rest of the house.

Don’t underestimate the potential of small space Don’t underestimate the potential of small spaces. While we are a nation obsessed with knocking walls down and living in open plan (echoey) spaces, I’d go so far to say, when it comes to decorating, small rooms are my absolute fave! Little rooms are where you can really turn up the dial, because at face value they are bland, underwhelming and quite often overlooked. But turn your mind to creating jewel-box fabulousness, inject plush textures, fabulous patterns and standout accessories and the transformation isn’t only fast but exceeds all expectations. Here are a few small spaces I’ve designed, that may be small—but they pack a serious punch. #SmallSpaceStyle #InteriorDesignTips #MaximalistInteriors #SophieRobinson #BoldNotBeige #ColourLover #DesignWithPersonality

If like me you hate your shiny white UPVC windows If like me you hate your shiny white UPVC windows then this tip is for you! I painted all of ours, inside and out, and it totally transformed our home (costing hundreds of pounds on paint rather than thousands of pounds replacing them with more traditional timber that would suit the Victorian character of our house better). The best thing about painting UVPC is with the right primer, there is no sanding or lengthy preparation. It’s important to make sure the frames are clean and dry, and then on with the All Surface Primer, which then ensures that the exterior acrylic eggshell, in a colour of your choice, can easily go on top. For many the beauty of UVPC windows is they don’t need decorating or maintaining, unlike timber windows. However, while these have not flaked or scratched yet (three years in) I know they will need a lick of paint at some point. But UVPC is a more stable substrate to traditional timber which cracks and swells, so the maintenance will be far less. And heres the best bit… you can’t tell the difference! Works on Front doors and conservatories too! Would you try it? Let me know in the comments! We used an All surface primer, mixed to match the top coat, of External eggshell in Lamp Black. Walls painted in masonry paint, in Lamp Black. All products @littlegreenepaintcompany #paintedwindows #upvcglowup #budgetrenovation #windowmakeover #diyhomedecor
I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but I I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but I’ve needed to hear it again and again this past year. This little affirmation has carried me through some of the hardest moments of my life; navigating a divorce, facing the possibility of losing my home, and somehow still showing up for my business, my family, and my creativity. And here’s the thing: I didn’t lose my home. 🏡 I’m keeping it. 🙌 That’s the biggest takeaway for me. Because in the midst of fear and uncertainty, I held on to hope. I kept creating. I kept believing. Stress and anxiety can really crush creativity. They make us shrink, second-guess, and settle for less than we deserve. But when we give ourselves even the tiniest flicker of faith, that’s when the magic can return. So if there’s something you’re holding on for, don’t let go. Keep the faith. You’ve absolutely got this. And if someone you love needs that reminder too — feel free to share this with them. #CreativeJourney #InteriorTherapy #DesignAsHealing #MyHomeMyStory #HomeInspo #LifeLately #PersonalGrowth #ThisIsRealLife #WomenSupportingWomen #OvercomingObstacles
