Last week I visited the brand new HomeSense store at South Harrow.The short version of this story could be a re-enactment of my visit several weeks previously to their Cardiff store which was that I came, I shopped, I went home with a shopping bag or four, very happy.
What I am really enjoying about the HomeSense stores is that each one is unique & you never know quite what you'll find in-store. Stock arrives all the time & many of the pieces that they carry are on-offs.Their shops are spacious, light & organised with plenty of room for browsing & displays full of inspiration.
What I did I want to buy?DKNY towels in a huge range of really lovely colours, all at 60% off, Le Creuset in latte & Tiffany blue at 60% off , everyday plates & bowls in a very simple white design, the most gorgeous cream & red french vintage style serving dishes, the mirrored tray above which I really really wish I'd bought for my dining table or a side table, leather-bound journals, storage baskets in all shapes & sizes, a coffee table size book on NYC Architecture & a very large gold mirror.
What did I buy?Le Creuset mugs in latte, some beautiful journals/notebooks, a Spanish-style serving dish for a gift & a couple of enamel kitchen dishes.(very restrained when you look at my list above, I''ll be back!)
HomeSense sells branded goods at very reduced prices, they have items for every room in the house & the quality is excellent.New stores continuing to open, Taplow & Aylesbury are the latest.
