Homework: How to make your home 'high street' chic

Making your home look oh-so-chic on a modest budget has never been easier thanks to London’s brilliant high streets.

This spring is about creating an impact with bold block colour and sculptural form. Take Oliver Bonas’s matte Capsule table lamp, for example: its sleek design and contrasting colour combination packs a punch and doesn’t cost the earth. For those wanting to dip their toe into the luxury pool without breaking the bank, Tom Dixon’s modular sofa collection for Ikea is the perfect entry point. Its graphic lines and striking silhouette make for a high-impact finish.
