Cheap and cheerful? Is the quality less? We were overwhelmed with the plethora and immense choice of great homeware and furniture at Matalan.

Covering so many current trends with prices starting from a couple of pounds, you can fill your home and garden with textiles and ceramics, glassware and trinkets – from marble-look accessories to bohemian soft furnishings, plant hangers to metallic pieces – there’s so much to choose from.

With their furniture you can create industrial, retro, midcentury or modern monochrome looks with quality and affordable prices – the current sale section is definitely worth chacking.

home: event [ antiques + vintage fair ]

To bring interest and a bit of a unique edge to your interiors, it’s great to browse antique fairs and vintage markets for furniture, ceramics, lighting and accessories.

With over 300 stalls under one roof the Alexandra Palace Antiques and Vintage fair attracts people from across London and the surrounding area because of its wealth of choice and quality in shopping.

With Pop Up Vintage Fairs also now being a part of the event there’s even more stall holders offering midcentury, retro and vintage goods – so on-trend and what’s better than modern copies – the originals!

The next event is Sunday February 12th and then three more times spread across the year. Parking is free and entry is £6 but there’s often ways to get 2-for-1 entry, especially if you follow Pop Up Vintage Fairs on Facebook.

With the weather improving and warmer days coming – it’s time to get back into outdoor market shopping.

Our favourite, and everyone’s favourite worst kept secret, is the incredible Sunbury Antiques Market which has had its home, for now 37 years, at the vast Kempton Park Racecourse. This epic, endless land, houses over 700 outdoor and indoor stalls with furniture, accessories and paraphernalia up for sale. Every era, style, taste and price range is covered here. Nab anything from a bargain 1960s chair for a fiver to old industrial buckets for a tenner or splurge on incredible antique or midcentury furniture. There is many a design classic to be had.

Visit this haven for interiors shopping on the second or last Tuesday of every month.

Next market // Tuesday 12th April

Free // opens at 6.30am

Design is loving pineapples right now. They feature in pattern, fabric, accessories, even jewellery.

We love this H&M gold (on trend!) pineapple that contains a candle. So once you burn the candle, you have a great little storage pot for trinkets.

Only £9.99

Have a look round the rest of the H&M Tropical Appeal trend collection to see their other pineapple pieces as well as homewares featuring palm trees, monkeys and bananas!

For more pineapple appreciation head to interiors and homeware brand SS Thomas who have pineapple candle sticks, fruit bowls, tumblers and glasses!
