It's no secret that in the last few years, M&S has had a serious upgrade. We've long debated on the Ideal Home desk whether we're all just getting older or M&S is getting better and the answer is clear - the high street retailer has some of the more stylish picks out there, and luckily, the M&S sale has just begun.
The homeware in particular always stops us in our tracks. A lot of the new collection looks remarkably similar to much more expensive Soho Home styles which makes it a great way to update your home without breaking the bank. While M&S prices are always reasonable, there's never a better time to shop than when the sale starts.
As someone who scrolls M&S almost everyday and placed an online sale order as soon as payday hit at midnight last night, I'm best placed to show you exactly which items are the best value and will go out of stock fast. It will be the easiest way to spruce up your home ahead of spring - here's what I've got my eye on.
This is my stand-out item from the M&S sale - with £140 off, it's the best time to upgrade a larger piece of furniture such as a coffee table. I love the rattan base combined with the glass top.
If you've been scrolling through interiors inspiration on Instagram and you're wondering where things are from, chances are it will be M&S. The brand nails the latest trends for less, whether you're looking to upgrade your living room ideas with chic side tables or you're looking to spruce up your kitchen ideas with some essentials, you can find everything you need. Often, even practical things are given a stylish twist, like this tupperware collection we're obsessing over on the team.
I love M&S for the small additions that make any room feel a bit more stylish without needing to overhaul the entire space. This rattan wavy mirror would be so eye-catching in any room, while even small upgrades to everyday items like this geometric bathmat will bring daily joy to mundane tasks.
These are my 9 top picks from the sale, many of which cost less than a lunch out. It's the best payday pick-me-up without feeling too guilty.
Hallways can be tricky to decorate so why not make a statement with this wavy rattan mirror? The rich shade will be so inviting.
It's about to be spring hosting season which calls for an upgrade of dishware - this platter looks so high end.
I don't know about you but my bathmats always look worn out fast - I love the ochre shade and pattern of this style.
If you aren't in need of a larger coffee table then this small side table will make the perfect addition to a living room.
Broken a few glasses over Christmas? Me too. The Sommelier sets from M&S are always great value, and even better when in the sale.
I've been seeing this darker rattan style everywhere and it's often priced highly - I would use these pots on a dressing table or in a bathroom.
Switch out cushions with darker colours and materials for lighter linens ahead of spring - this is a great place to start.
Basket weave is a trend we love on Ideal Home and this will be ideal for alfresco dining once the weather improves.
Stripes and ruffles aren't going out of style any time soon - this lampshade is so adorable and I'm adding to bag for my bedroom.
While these are my favourite trend-led picks, the M&S bedding and towel sets are also in the sale which are fabulous ways to upgrade some of your homeware essentials while the price is low. Happy shopping!
