Sale shopping: interior design must haves

january sale shopping

I’ve been trawling the net so you don’t have to go finding some drool-worthy interior design products at some January sale bargain prices.

Oh how I wish my house sale had gone through by now (doesn’t it just take FOREVER!) and I could get busy piling up my virtual cart with some great bargains that are out in the January sales right now. I usually have mixed feelings about shopping after the Christmas binge (bit guility at my ability to consume) and I for one cannot abide sale shopping. I find it so depressing when all the shops look so disheveled and the poor shop assistants even more so.

But the internet stays shining and alluring all year round. So after a super wise friend of mine said to me this morning, that purchasing is ok if its a celebration rather than a compensation it really got me thinking. My home is gorgeous as it is (warm, dry, full of the people I love) so shopping for me is no compensation. But I do love to celebrate all the design talent out there which is why I love to shop.  And I Luuuuuurve to shop online, so super convenient, and accessible. And as my wise friend also said, It’s good to shop- it keeps the energy flowing. As if you lot need any more convincing!

So for your delectation I’ve been having a little peruse this afternoon, and have found my fave eight (Ok there were loads more than that but I couldn’t fit them all on the page) interior design products and fave eight fashion items that I think are a bit of a steal and digging my style groove. Enjoy…and celebrate don’t compensate!

January sale shopping for Interiors room scheme

 

  1. An impactful and graphic rug is a great way to update a room scheme. It can update a tatty carpet or help bring a new scheme together. Debenhams multi coloured rug 120 x 170cm , £84, Debenhams. (30% off)
  2. I’m aways banging on about how light fittings should be hung low and the bigger the better. Well this one fits the bill on both counts. Multishade light fitting, a great interior design product £49.50, Angel at my table. (was £165)
  3. Replacing cupboard knobs on existing furniture is a cheap and cheerful way to update. Dice door knobs, £1.05 each, Graham and Green. (was £3.50)
  4. I think every interior design scheme should have something a little witty and irreverent. And these bizarre gold bins make me smile! Decorative ceramic binoculars, £4.50, John Lewis. (was £15)
  5. Oh how I love this bold rubber plant print. And the huge discount is giving me palpitations!  Tarrovine ‘Geffrye’ chair, £975, House of Hackney (was £2295)
  6. Sequins, rainbow colours, modern geometric. Whats not to love? Jonathan Adler Nico Fractal cushion, £71.55, Amara (was £238.50)
  7. It’s important to invest in items with soul and hand blown glass is just that. Beautiful. Madras small rose hand-blown tumbler, £26.26, The Conran Shop (was £35)
  8. This has to be my BEST BUY. Super design, team it with a bright drum shade, also on sale at high street fave M&S. Tonga spotted table lamp base, £22.50, Marks and Spencer. (was £49.50)

 

Sophie Robinsons picks for sale shopping

 

  1. In my rule book a touch of monochrome always smartens up your home and your wardrobe. And who doesn’t love a pussy bow! Inigo bow front blouse, £82.50, House of Hackney. (was £165)
  2. I love big and bold jewellery to lift an outfit from drab to fab! Toucan porcelain ring, £48.76, The Conran Shop. (was £65)
  3. Heart melting graphic design and love the colour palette. Walking stick umbrella U1, £71.26, The Conran Shop. (was £95)
  4. This style tunic dress I find so wearable, worn alone in summer or over a thin knit and skinny’s. Revolution Floral red dress, £70, Age of Reason. (was £289)
  5. Trust me, its all about culottes this S/S. And in denim they go with everything. Dark blue was denim culottes, £15, River Island. (was £38)
  6. Avida Dollars sunglasses in tangerine, £75, Nola. (was £230)
  7. These guys always make to die for ear gear, I’ve got hundreds of pairs. Waterfall Brulee earrings, £44, J Crew. (was £88)
  8. I always need more leopard print. Always. Beatrice leopard print heels, £74, Boden. (was £119)

Hi Sophie love love love your inspirations! May I ask where the fabulous green sofa can be purchased and what is the colour on the wall of that same sitting room? My parents had a house fire which luckily was fairly contained but the smoke damage was widespread so they are re decorating big time!

The fabulous green velvet in sofa in the picture was from…*drumroll*…ikea! It was last year so I’m not sure if they’re still doing it in this heart-stoppingly gorgeous green. House fire sounds rather dramatic! Hope nothing valuable was lost. But what a great opportunity for a redesign! Hope your Mum is having fun with it x

We discuss our exciting plans for the year ahead and share our thoughts on the trends for 2021. So for all this and more head on over to the podcast app and find us in The Great Indoors!

How you doing? Just a reminder that while it might How you doing? Just a reminder that while it might appear like we are living the perfectly curated life  in these squares it’s a short swipe to reveal the reality! Lockdown has its unique stresses and I’m making a pact to be gentle on myself and everyone around me. Let me know what your coping strategies are right now. Mine today is makeup and big earrings. 
Thanks to @franklybold for this insanely fabulous pair . When times gets tough, the earrings just get bigger! #gift

Friday! 🤩 It’s all about the small wins and Friday! 🤩 
It’s all about the small wins and I made it to the end of the week. But already 2021 has me feeling weary. I had such a lovely relaxing  Christmas break and this week has been full steam ahead with all kinds of 💩 thrown at me and I haven’t even started home schooling yet! 😫 But one thing that gave me a mood boost was dressing up in this magnificent gown from @las_ninas_textiles . I met fellow colour lover Nina on these squares and just adore her brand, her ethos and her fringe. Thank you Nina for your beautiful gift of colour joy! It really has shone a Latin rainbow on a dismal grey British week. This stunning indigo and huipil dress even has little threads of glitter running through it. 🌈 I’m pairing it with cosy leggings and my trusty @grensonshoes boots so I might never take it off! 
What do you do to cheer yourself out of the doldrums?

Who’s back at their desk this week with big plan Who’s back at their desk this week with big plans for their home in 2021! I’m thrilled and excited that my online course Colour Psychology for interiors is open for enrolment TODAY! 🛎🛎🛎 By far the most popular course to date this is a deep dive into how colour works on a deeper more emotional level. Discover how to blend colour harmoniously in your schemes and understand which palettes are perfect for you. Because we all have very different connections to colour and design and finding out what your authentic palette and style is is fundamental to creating a home you love. I’ve spent years honing my own style but with this course you can nail it in a matter of weeks! And it’s a beautiful deep dive into self discovery and creativity while  helping you gain clarity, confidence and cut through the overwhelm. Because there is enough of that going around already! 🤪 I’ll be back here at 6pm tonight on an Instagram live to tell you more about the transformational power of Colour Psychology for interiors so please join me and ask any questions! Bring on the colour joy! 🌈🌈🌈

The year we stayed at home. 2020 has taught me to The year we stayed at home. 2020 has taught me to care and love the simple things. And in many ways I’m blessed that being at home is often just where I want to be. The year ahead still holds so many unknowns and managing fears, expectations and anxieties will continue to be part of the battle.  But making a house a home can really help us feel safe and grounded. So here are some beautiful flowers, and rainbow baubles that go towards making my home feel the best it can. How do you make your home feel extra special and bring a smile to your face 😊?

Hello!!! How ARE you?! I’m loving this twixmas t Hello!!! How ARE you?! I’m loving this twixmas time, having long lie ins, reading loads, and on that subject currently ‘Think like a monk’ by @jayshetty is PERFECT right now for a mental reset. I’m resisting thoughts of 2021, of work or ‘real life’, for just a couple more days. I see lots of people clearing down the decorations and getting the house feeling fresh, but I’m keeping the twinkle a little longer. But I can feel the batteries are recharging and boy they needed too! I meant to do my yearly vision board today but couldn’t get motivated to do that either! . How are you all doing. Anyone feeling ready to take on the new year yet?  #tapfordetails

All dressed up and no where to go! Ha ha! In reali All dressed up and no where to go! Ha ha! In reality I’m in my joggers peeling a mountain of root vegetables but living the dream on the grid just for you! Thanks so much for all of you who have spread the joy and magic of Christmas on these squares. I’ve loved the colour, the creativity and the joy it’s bought. Wishing you all a special Christmas however you are making it work for you, which probably wasn’t  what you’d ever have expected. A special heartfelt virtual hug going out to all of you struggling at this time. See you on the other side!
