Shopping for furniture should be a fun task, but more often than not it’s an arduous process to find the right pieces you have ingrained in your mind. You can scroll Pinterest or Instagram for ages, but when it comes to actually buying things, it usually ends up being a lot of searching for the right words and flicking between different shops trying to find it.
But there’s a solution. Say goodbye to endless scrolling websites and say hello to ShopHomeStyles, the homeware site been dubbed as a “Lyst for furniture”. This website pulls together products from more than 100 UK and US homeware and furniture brands into one place, so you can browse and compare without having to bounce around the internet.
It turns the process into a more visual experience. Rather than trying to figure out the right search terms, you can just upload a photo (maybe something saved from Instagram) and it works out the key details like shape, material and colour, then shows you similar pieces you can actually shop.
To help narrow it down, I’ve picked several standout furniture pieces from ShopHomeStyles, that show just how much variety the platform has, from sofas to beds.
The Cotswold Company 2-seater sofa
Neatly piped cushions and arms give this sofa a tailored finish, while traditional castor legs (available in three finishes) let you match it to your space. It also comes with a choice of cushion fillings, from soft, cocooning feather to more supportive, low-maintenance fibre.
Bed Kingdom single ottoman bed
This ottoman bed has generous under-bed storage with a contemporary padded headboard for support and hand-carved wooden feet. A gas piston lift system provides easy access to the large under-bed compartment, perfect for adding storage space to smaller bedrooms.
Heal’s confetti table lamp
This table lamp comes in five colours, so there are plenty of options to choose from when adding some colour to your home. The confetti-style design creates fun and unqiue light patterns in your room, and the translucent glass provides warm, cosy lighting.
Holloways of Ludlow rounded side table with curved legs
Available in both burgundy and blue, this side table is designed by British designer John Astbury. It has three curved legs inspired by ancient-style pillars and is a contemporary piece that works as a practical piece of furniture as well as a subtle design statement.
Graham and Green black ifat pouffe
The ikat pattern on this Graham and Green pouffe is achieved with a traditional printing and weaving technique. It is made with cotton and filled with recycled fibre, with neutral tones that should compliment plenty of homes.
My Theresa margherita ceramic vase
This vase brings a touch of Italy to your home. It is ceramic in construction, so it’s both durable and stylish.
Andrew Martin, karma chai
The Karma Chair is a softly curved armchair wrapped in boucle fabric, with deep, cocoon-like armrests and comes in a light ivory tone. It blends perfectly into almost any interior, and it’s oversized design makes it comfortable too.
Dunelm, 4-pack dinner plates pebble glaze
These Dunelm dinner plates have an organic, slightly uneven shape and a soft grey, stone-like glaze that gives each one a unique finish. They have a hand-crafted feel that adds texture and warmth to the table while keeping a modern, understated look.
