It is unfortunate that there is a pretty brand new Homesense two doors down as the layouts are…read moredrastically different. While Homesense looks modern and tidy, Dunelm just looks really dated and terribly cluttered. But, if you can get past that then you've come to an Aladdin's cave of homewares. Certainly if I was looking for a new duvet or a pair of curtains, I now know the place to go. The prices were certainly very reasonable and I had to chuckle when I spotted Star Wars: The Force Awakens tissues in a small Star Wars themed area. Insert your own fanboy related joke here.

Dunelm is a great store, with lots of variety of things for your home…read more Having first gone to the new Homesense, it was strikingly obvious that Dunelm is a bit overfilled, cluttered, and dated. However, they do have good prices, and lots of choices. They did have a really small Christmas section though, which was a shame. If I needed something in particular, like new curtains, I'd definitely come here. But just to browse, it's a bit too much.

I had a really great experience with Pret A Vivre. We were completing a large renovation project…read morein Highbury and found with only one month until completion that the curtains and blinds to be supplied by our contractor weren't up to the standard that we wanted. I visited the Pret A Vivre show room and really liked everything they had on display. I was introduced to the amazing, helpful, good humored, hard working and knowledgeable Lynda. Lynda really took ownership of the project. She helped me to make selections, gave thoughtful and insightful advice taking into account our objectives and budget, visited the site with me on several occasions and was always available for questions (even after hours or on weekends for urgent issues). Because of our time constraints, the company really pulled out the stops and we had everything done and installed in the short time frame that they had promised. Its not an exaggeration to say that that the look of the flats in our development is significantly enhanced by the Pret A Vivre curtains and blinds. Highly recommended!
