Stuart said, "I bought a statement chair on eBay that I've had for years. It just looks so great. Another amazing eBay deal I had was finding a dining room table which has a base that looks like a tree. I saw something similar on BBC One's Saturday Kitchen. I tend to find little hidden treasures and normally come up trumps really.
Scarlette added, "I recently went to Home Bargains searching for a really nice tray to put candles on. I found the exact one I was looking for and it only cost £3.99. My favourite shop is Dunelm. I love everything they sell. I also love popping into The Range and Home Bargains. I found a drinks trolley in Home Bargains for around £30 recently and it was so much cheaper than other retailers online. You don't always have to shop expensive to get good homewares".
