Best furniture store overall: NiX by Nicola Harding
- Pros: A family-run business with an emphasis on high quality manufacturing in the UK & Europe.
- Cons: You'll have to be patient, as one of the downsides of made to order furniture is a longer lead time. We think it's worth the wait.
You can trust an interior designer to get furniture design right–and Nicola Harding is no ordinary interior designer. A mainstay of House & Garden's prestigious Top100 list since 2018, Nicola knows how to design with both form and function in mind. The launch of NiX, the product arm of her business, a few years back, caused a frenzy in the House & Garden office, and the brand has gone from strength to strength since.
Nix tops off our list for a few reasons, but the primary one is the emphasis the company puts on quality manufacturing. Every piece, from lamps to bed frames and beautiful fabric sofas, is made in the UK & Europe and by highly skilled craftspeople, so these are furnishings built to last. With NiX, the rule really is: buy well, buy once. Topping off our wishlist is the Tuck In Dining Table, which comes in three finishes and three sizes, and has an attractive double-bead detail along the top edge.
Best online-only furniture shop: Rowen and Wren
- Pros: High street prices for items that definitely don't look it. Plus, great customer service
- Cons: Not the largest choice of fabrics, though they're set to expand the range
If you want your house to look cohesive and well thought through, but aren't sure where to start, head to Rowen and Wren. Their range of furniture is smart, considered, and available at relatively achievable price points. They also have an extensive range of lovely lighting, with lots of affordable options under £200, from glass pendants to metal wall lamps, and pleated lampshades. Their bathroom hardware doesn't get nearly as much attention as it should–think pretty brass shelves and handles–so anyone looking to spruce up their powder room should head to Rowen and Wren. We also love anything and everything from their Ode to Oak collection.
Best luxury furniture shop: Soho Home
- Pros: Quick and easy emulation of that exclusive members' club feel they're so famous for
- Cons: Seeing the discount available to Soho House members at check out. A pro for some, but a con for many
For a touch of late-night, members' club glamour, Soho Home is your best bet. They have excellent ranges of everything from the best bed frames to stylish dining tables and sofas. However, we think they're at their best when it comes to lighting. Think statement pendants, modern chandeliers, twinkly table lamps and sculptural floor lamps. Head to our dedicated guide for a more comprehensive look at what to buy from Soho Home.
Soho Home was launched to meet the demand of the many Soho House members and hotel guests who wanted to recreate the curated look of their houses, at home. The brand has gone from strength to strength, recently launching their Westbourne Grove store. Not to worry though if you’re not in London as their design-led furniture and accessories can also be shopped online. Shop our full Soho Home edit here. With directional and exciting pieces coming thick and fast through the doors of Soho Home, you're sure to find something that sets your heart alight. Their range of bedroom furniture and sculptural pieces for the living room is particularly impressive. The brand is inspired by 25 years of Soho House's interiors, with handcrafted, luxurious furnishings available to help you “bring the house home.”
Best affordable furniture shop: La Redoute
- Pros: Affordable price points
- Cons: The website isn't the easiest to navigate, and the styling can often be detrimental to the products
This French fancy has a seriously impressive range of practical items. Think affordable linen curtains, large wool rugs, mirrors and lighting. Their Madotto rug has appeared in countless projects that have graced the pages of House & Garden and is an underfoot favourite of interior designers and editors alike. However, it's not just La Redoute's accessories that we're investing in, as the retailer is probably best known for its affordable furniture. We have our eye on their dining chairs (available for a snip of the price you'd find elsewhere) and their Madara cane bed frame.
This isn't a tale of the cheap and cheerful though, as La Redoute's quality is reliably good. There's a reason La Redoute is in every interior designer’s little black book of the best online homeware shops. From dining sets and bookcases to console tables and bedside tables, this retailer has some of the best-designed and best priced pieces around. Oh, and the AM.PM bedding, every time.
Best furniture store for soft furnishings: The White Company
- Pros: Heavyweight bed linens in several styles that won't break the bank. Plus, most items are eligible for free delivery.
- Cons: Restrictive returns windows and no trial periods on mattresses or mattress toppers.The go-to spot for high quality, minimalist homewares available at high street prices. Think timeless staples that will stand the test of time in their signature neutral palette. For online shopping, where the White Company truly excels in is the bedroom, where they offer some of most luxurious bedding, ultra-plush bath towels and high quality best bed frames and headboards we've tried. See the rest of our White Company picks in our full round up.
Best furniture store for sofas and chairs: Darlings of Chelsea
- Pros: Excellent quality and a huge range of shapes and sizes in each furnishing type
- Cons: Darlings don't offer a free sofa removal or exchange service
Our new found love of Darlings of Chelsea shows no sign of slowing, with richly upholstered furnishings to decorate your living space in both contemporary and traditional shapes. Their pieces are made to order, but thankfully their lead times are much shorter than many equivalent furniture shops. For some of the best sofa beds at relatively accessible price points, Darlings of Chelsea are unparalleled in the space.
Frequently asked questions
- Which website sells cheap furniture?
Depending on the site, buying from a cheap furniture brand can be a bit of a false economy. Whilst you might feel like you're getting a good deal, you will likely have to purchase the same item over and over as the quality simply won't stand the test of time. If you're looking for budget-friendly furniture, Ikea is probably the best place to head to. No, the quality of their MDF furniture won't match up to an antique piece, but for quick and easy bits of extra storage, it will do the job. Aside from the Swedish flat-packers, Habitat has some lovely retro style pieces - we particularly like their 60th anniversary collection. La Redoute is another wonderfully affordable yet still incredibly stylish option; their simple linen bedding is loved by interior designers, as is their staple Madotto rug.
- What are the best online furniture stores in the UK?
Here at House & Garden we love discovering new interiors shops, makers and designers who are doing something creative or out of the ordinary. Our pages are full of bespoke furniture and lovingly crafted textiles and homeware accessories, and there's no doubt they're incredibly beautiful. However, more often than not, these artisanal furniture shops are expensive - justifiably so given the quality of their work - and not everyone can afford to invest in what they produce. In these instances, the high street is the place to go to!
For those on a budget, or for those who are clever with their high-low mixing, there are plenty of high street retailers who offer stylish products that won't break the bank. With fashion brands increasingly entering the interiors space, and longstanding homewares brands upping their game to keep up in the style stakes, there has never been a better time to shop for furniture online via the major high street shops.
Whilst everyone has different taste and budgets in the interiors world, there are a few fail safe online furniture shops that will suit most people's style, and offer pieces for both large and small spaces. These are shops from whom we at House & Garden have bought from. They all sell a range of furniture at high street prices and we feel that they best represent the intersection between affordability and quality. Each of these offers a wide range of furniture and accessories, so there's plenty to choose from.
Best online furniture stores 2025
- What to buy: Their selection of dried flowers and textiles is particularly lovely but special mention goes to their accent chairs, covered in deep pile bouclé and in mid century shapes.
H&M has long been a household name, providing our wardrobes with lovely clothes and accessories for years now. However, you may not have noticed their move into the interior space (even in spite of that enormous flagship near Oxford Circus, if you’re looking to shop in-store).
- What to buy: When adding finishing touches to a home, we’ve always got our eye on their attention-grabbing array of living room furniture, such as lamp bases and cushions.
- Pros: Well made, quality furniture. £60 flat rate delivery & a 30 day return window.
A classic for a reason, OKA is well known for its brilliant edit of lamps, rattan accessories and furniture. OKA purchases are sure to be timeless picks; their collections are both stylish and relevant without being overly trend-driven or self conscious. They make items that command questions from visiting guests about where they can get it for themselves.
Graham and Green
- What to buy: Amongst its cheering, colour-drenched homeware offering, you’ll find a great line in seating too – their smart two and three-seater sofas come in a wide choice of jewel toned velvets and linens. You’ll also want to take a peek at their over-mantle mirrors for gold framed and foxed numbers to add drama to your living room.
Graham and Green is a great all-rounder. They stock some wonderful furniture such a side tables and cabinets that look as if you might have discovered them in a charming flea market.
- What to buy: Charming, playful homewares that range from mirrors to bar carts.
- Pros: Great to add a cheerful touch to your home at fairly affordable prices.
- Cons: Not the very best quality furnishings that you can buy on the high street, which often means you can see visible screws and joins. However, their items are sturdy and will certain survive the wear and tear of daily life.
If you overlooked Oliver Bonas as a high street shop for fashion or maybe birthday cards, you’d be missing some seriously affordable best sellers in home furnishings that interior designers love.
Their number one best buy is the Aurora Glass Mirror. A Deco-style wall mirror with coloured glass detail seen in many of our favourite houses. Don't miss their cheerful line in cushions, rugs and blankets too. At the moment, they also have an impressive array of rattan lighting that, if you saw it in a home, you would never guess was as well-priced as it is.
- What to buy: Anthropologie has a wonderful array of ceramics, glassware, plant pots and candlesticks.
- Pros: Furniture made with a fashion savvy eye.
- Cons: Price point is slightly above the high street average.
Whether you’re shopping for decorative accessories or large furnishings like an armchair, take them out of context and many of Anthropologie's designs look much more high end than high street. They've recently launched a made to order collection of large pieces like sofas, armchairs and ottomans. They’ve cornered a sweet spot on the high street.
- What to buy: Anything and everything. You'll find original anglepoise lamps alongside midcentury units and rattan bed frames. You can search by room, category, designer and period, so you needn't be an expert in design to find exactly what you're looking for.
Since launching in 2015, Vinterior has become the UK’s largest pre-owned furniture and homeware platform. Their website is home to nearly 300,000 hand selected items from 2,000 sellers. It's a one stop shop for characterful, pre-loved statement pieces.
- What to buy: If you’re on the hunt for a high quality, timeless sofa, this is where you’ll find it. The range includes armchairs, loveseats, sofa beds, chaise and modular sofas, as well as the all-important footstools too. Be sure to check out their impressive sideboards and coffee tables too.
Heal's Tottenham Court Road store has become a real stalwart in London’s shopping scene with its quality furniture and contemporary designs–and its online arm is no different. The emporium is a go to for sofas, and is now also offering mattresses. Its selection of brands is top notch, ranging from Timothy Oulton to Ercol.
- What to buy: West Elm has everything from large furniture pieces for the dining room to the office, and the bedroom to the bathroom. The little details aren’t forgotten either, as you’ll find lighting and soft furnishings from prints to mirrors, and cushions and vases too.
- Pros: The first home retailer to join Fair Trade USA.
- Cons: Shipping on large items is around £79.
Mid-century fans will love West Elm for its ability to take the shapes of the period and blend them seamlessly with more modern designs, textures and colours. The Brooklyn-based company certainly know how to incorporate a bit of the area's aesthetic into its designs with its earthy colour palette and elevated styles. Not yet convinced? You should know that West Elm also champions Fair Trade and sustainably sourced materials, including organic cotton for its linen and bath towels.
- What to buy: A proper mattress that supports your body is something you will not regret purchasing.
- Pros: Simba's mattresses are delivered in boxes which means they are guaranteed to fit up every flight of stairs and in every doorway. Plus, they're a lot less cumbersome that way. Simba also offer a sleep trial period, so if it's not quite right, you can just send your mattress back.
Whilst you may only know Simba Sleep from their mattresses (which are some of the world's best we might add), they have recently launched a range of beds, too. The latter are specifically designed to offer their mattresses the best possible support and, therefore, the sleeper, too. Simba is fast becoming a one stop shop for bed frames, mattresses and bedding all in one.
- What to buy: Flock to the website for everything from quirky vintage art to handmade lampshades and larger pieces, like antique wardrobes.
If you don't know where to start, we've compiled wonderful guides on how to buy rugs on Etsy, as well as buying art on Etsy and how to buy lighting on Etsy.
A fantastic place to discover small businesses and independent sellers. The platform has fast become a go-to for those in the know, including many of our favourite interior designers (click here to see their pick of the best Etsy shops).
- What to buy: Their homeware offering is really fantastic and their keen eye for fashion is clearly extended to interiors - think candlesticks, vases and glassware by cool designers alongside scented candles and essential oil diffusers.
You likely don’t need us to introduce you to Selfridges, but you may not know that the famous department store offers much more than clothes and beauty products.
- What to buy: From mid-century modern treasures to fresh out the box home accessories, you'll find great things for good value and great value in the things you find.
Ebay might not be your first port of call when looking for furniture online, but we implore you to make it one. The online behemoth has made subtle shifts over the past few years to become a brilliant destination for brand new, refurbished, pre-loved and vintage furniture–all under one (virtual) roof. Their revamped ‘home and garden’ landing page is user friendly and laid out in an easily accessible way so there's no clock-watching, bidding frenzy to be had here.
- What to buy: Terence Conran’s eponymous London store is a stockist of some of the biggest names in furniture and lighting design–from Vitra to Flos to Hans J. Wegner, The Conran Shop has all of the classics. Not only that but Conran’s range of kitchenware, rugs and cushions is especially superb.
An icon in its own right, The Conran Shop is an unmissable destination for design lovers. Their curated furniture selection is full of sleek, streamlined, modern pieces.
- What to buy: We particularly like their Sherbourne armchair, a mid century inspired piece, and their range of desks is excellent.
Swoon has an absolutely enormous selection of products, from some of the best sofa beds on the market to ottomans to mirrors, lighting and TV stands. That means you could probably kit out your entire house from Swoon alone.
- What to buy: It’s worth noting that Cox and Cox consistently have one of the best ranges of outdoor furniture – their chic, Scandinavian-inspired designs look really contemporary. Where indoor furniture is concerned, you’ll want to look at pieces such as their blue velvet loveseat and pencil striped sofa, plus a really extensive range of rattan chairs and accessories
If you’re a fan of mid-century styles or muted colour palettes, Cox and Cox’s calming range of mostly greys and neutrals could be right up your street.
- What to buy: Amara is one of our favourite places to shop online for homeware from established brands such as &Tradition, Tom Dixon, Muuto and SMEG.
Amara really do have everything under one roof, with a particularly good selection of Italian and Scandinavian brands, plus some smaller names that you wouldn’t see everywhere else.
- What to buy: Textiles are king at French Connection home.
French Connection only recently entered into the homeware sphere, bringing their signature style to both textiles and accessories, as well as large furniture. Much of the collection is made with sustainability in mind. There’s glassware made from recycled materials, natural mango wood pieces and rugs made from plastic bottles.
- What to buy: Pared back tableware is the name of the game at Mango Home. Think rumpled linens and stoneware cutlery that's perfect for long summer lunches.
Mango’s foray into homewares seems to have been heavily influenced by sleek, modern LA homes, with floor cushions and natural materials offered in a mostly neutral colour palette. This lends their pieces a particularly fresh and summery air that we could really use in our, often gloomy, UK homes.
- What to buy: Sweet lamps and plant pots aplenty are available at Urban Outfitters. However, perhaps unusually for a fashion first brand, their selection of larger furniture is really impressive. Think console tables in stylish rattan and bed frames that are not to be missed.
Whilst you may associate Urban Outfitters with pre-teens and young people spending their Saturday afternoons in town and browsing the high street, the brands’ furniture offering is more sophisticated and mature than that would suggest. It is trend-led, but in a sensitive way, designed to offer a gateway into the style, without committing fully. Think quirky trinkets, pretty patterned bedding and pieces you’ve seen all over Instagram.
- What to buy: We’d recommend heading for their collaboration with antiques expert Drew Pritchard, plus their sideboards and console tables, and a stylish selection of leather sofas.
Don’t turn your nose up at the idea of visiting a retail park off the motorway on a busy weekend, you can browse Barker & Stonehouse’s broad selection of furniture from the comfort of your sofa (while you shop for corner sofas). Despite their size, they’re still a family-run business.
- What to buy: Take a look at their website for a colourful, modish range of candlesticks, art prints and glassware, plus a truly wonderful collection of Astier de Villatte ceramics.
Surely one of the finest department stores in the world, Liberty really led the way for larger shops supporting and promoting lesser-known emerging brands and designers. When the likes of Luke Edward Hall and artist Alexa Coe were first making names from themselves, Liberty was one of the first physical shops to display their work.
- What to buy: You can't go far wrong with this furniture shop. The prices range and there are some high end investment pieces of furniture, alongside affordable decorative items to add a touch of Scandinavian cool to your home.
A mecca for contemporary, Scandi-chic furniture and icons of twentieth century design, If you’ve seen an iconic piece of modern furniture you love, chances are you can find it here.
- What to buy: Expect Scandi brands and Japanese silhouettes with a smattering of fashion brands who have branched out into interiors. It's a place for colourful, vibrant things to add a splash of joy to your house.
With an excellent roster of brands, Couverture & The Garbstore stocks a selective edit of only the best designed pieces.
- What to buy: The brand has stepped up their offering in recent seasons, with plenty of smart benches and chairs in rich woods and cane, lovely wine glasses and light linen bedding.
If architects like John Pawson and airy Spanish farmhouse interiors are your aesthetic, Zara Home is definitely one to watch.
- What to buy: Think hand-knotted, flatweave and plush wool rugs, as well as jute options, and some very exciting collaborations in the past and in the pipeline.
Working from the mantra that good design should come at reasonable prices and with high quality materials (an idea we can all get behind), Nordic Knots are absolutely the name to know for stylish and well-priced rugs.
- What to buy: Look out for lampshades crafted from silks and velvets in punchy colours and pretty patterns alongside architectural modern lamp bases and bobbin bases.
Pooky is one of those shops that, once you find it, you can’t believe you ever lived without it. They deal almost exclusively in lighting, save for one or two mirrors, meaning they have an extensive and well made collection of every lighting style imaginable.
- What to buy: Cool tableware and stylish sofa throws are all staples of Arket's homeware offering. For a more in depth look, head to our dedicated guide on what to buy at Arket.
Whilst it is primarily known for its fashion offering, Arket has a truly good range of homewares. Since launching their home accessories collection, the brand has made a name for themselves in the space through artist collaborations and fun pieces that won’t break the bank.
- What to buy: Rattan consoles, side tables and other stylish pieces in natural materials.
Former fashion editor-at-large at Glamour magazine, Louise Roe has now turned her keen eye to furniture design with Sharland England.
Best furniture store for kitting out your whole house: John Lewis
- What to buy: John Lewis has one of the largest collections of homewares on the high street, with everything from coffee machines, to bath towels and ready made curtains available at affordable prices.
- Pros: You can kit out your whole house in one fell swoop (or one online checkout).
- Cons: A slightly higher price point than the average high street retailer–but then again, this is no average high street furniture shop.
John Lewis really needs no introduction. The high street stalwart opened its door on Oxford Street in 1864 and has been selling beautiful pieces ever since. Behind the scenes, John Lewis has been having a quiet revolution. Whilst their quality is as reliable as ever, new lines (looking at you, Anyday) have been brought it to freshen up their offering and bring something new to the table.
