Designer vs Highstreet part 2!

I am amazed at the prices of some designer items and how you can create a similar look with a much more cost effective option.  Here is another example of Designer vs Highstreet.  Can you identify which lamp is £310, which one is £65 and one at £37?

Answers on a postcard please?  Or email me your thoughts!

If you want the designer look at highstreet prices please let me know and  I will help you to create a look that is both stylish and cost effective!

Designer vs Highstreet

How often do you see something that is way out of your price range?  Would you actually pay a high price for something even if you had the money?

When it comes to sourcing products for clients I look for quality bargains that wont break the budget. Take a look at these 2 examples and see if you can work out which one costs over £200 and which one is under £40?



I know that if I was looking for a stripey cushion i would choose the rectangle version just on sight without looking at the price tag.  It has more detail and interest than the square one.  More detail surely means higher price?

If you are looking for great accessories, that wont break the bank, for your home or know someone who is please see if I can find you some style on your budget.  I can take the leg work and frustration out of finding the right products for the right budget!

PS:  The designer cushion is the square one (Missoni) at £214 and the high street cushion is the rectangular one (Jane Hornsby) at £38!
