Arched Full Length Leaner Mirror – £45
My top pick from Dunelm’s new collection has to be their Arched Full Length Mirror. Available in both pewter and gold finishes for only £45, its a must-buy as mirrors tend to be one of the pricier accessories. The versatile piece instantly elevates any room with its sleek, modern silhouette and trendy arched design.
What I love most about this mirror is its versatility. You can either lean it casually against a wall for that effortlessly chic look that’s all over social media, or mount it securely to a wall for a more permanent statement. The mirror transforms your space by reflecting light and creating the illusion of a larger room – perfect for smaller apartments or darker corners that need brightening.
One happy shopper wrote: “I was a little apprehensive ordering this as the price seemed low, but I didn’t have to worry; the mirror was of great quality. The pewter colour is very complementary – a real bargain!”
A second person raved in the reviews: “Stunning mirror looks perfect in my home. beautifuly brushed with the gold and a lovely size and weight.” A third buyer said: “A lovely-sized mirror and great value for money, it’s the perfect for a small bedroom or space.”
However, one user shared: “The mirror is wonky at the bottom and not in line. It’s glued fully, so it can’t be moved.” We found something similar available at Amazon, the CASSILANDO Full Length Mirror is currently on sale and retails for £84.99.

Sophie Robinson Set of 2 Wavy Edge Trays – £20
I love trinkets, so these are a must-have on my list. The Sophie Robinson Wavy Edge Trays have completely won me over with their playful design and versatility.
This set of two trays comes in three chic colour combinations that instantly inject personality into any room. What makes these trays special is the eye-catching wavy edges. There’s a larger tray for serving drinks or storing vases, while the smaller tray is ideal for desk essentials.
The quality is impressive too, substantial enough to feel luxurious but not so heavy they’re impractical. They wipe clean in seconds, making them perfect for busy households. You can find similar options at John Lewis, including the Scalloped Bubble Lacquer Tray for £25.
In reviews for the Sophie Robinson wavy trays, one shopper noted: “A lovely little set. I chose the green set for my new kitchen, very handy for carrying a cup of tea and a small snack. There is an edge so it doesn’t fall off.”
Another shopper shared: “These trays are lovely and bright and well made. They are a nice size to use for some mugs of coffee and biscuits or to house condiments on the table. They could also be used in a bedroom or bathroom to store perfumes, creams, and makeup.”
Although it wasn’t all positive in the comments. One buyer said: “Disappointingly, when they arrived, the purple tray was damaged with what looked like finger marks on the paint and peeling bits. The yellow tray was ok, but the colour was much darker than pictured.

Pippin Vase – £18
The Pippin Vase is another favourite of mine from Dunelm’s new collection, and for good reason. The ceramic piece delivers that perfect blend of statement design and practical functionality that I love.
Standing at 30cm tall, the vase commands attention without overwhelming your space, but what really sets it apart is its distinctive silhouette. It’s one of those versatile pieces that works equally well as part of a curated shelf display or as a standalone statement on a sideboard or console table.
Whether you have fresh flowers or faux stems, elevate either option beautifully. I appreciate how this vase manages to feel both contemporary and timeless.
Alternatively, check out the Medium Scalloped Textured Vase from Marks & Spencer, which is available for £35.

Set of 3 Fashionista Framed Prints – £75
If you’re looking for a way to add personality to your home without a full project, you can never go wrong with frames, and this Set of 3 Fashionista Framed Prints will never fail to spark joy in your spaces. These quirky pieces by artist Yvette St. Amant feature a stylishly dressed lion, llama, and giraffe decked out in floral-inspired outfits.
Whimsical and sophisticated at the same time, the vibrant colours pop against the brushed gold frames, creating the perfect balance between playfulness and elegance that’s hard to find affordably.
They arrive ready to hang (a massive plus for impatient shoppers), making them the perfect quick fix for bare walls. Whether your style leans towards eclectic, modern, or maximalist, these charming prints bring the perfect touch of character.

Woven Brown Stripe Straw Vase – £25
Last on my list is this stunning woven jug vase. It’s made from natural rush with a gorgeous brown stripe pattern, bringing that organic, textural element that’s essential for creating depth in any space.
What immediately drew me to this vase was its impressive size, substantial enough to make a statement when placed directly on the floor, yet not so overwhelming that it dominates the room. Fill with flowers or full blooms; this combination creates that perfect height and visual impact that empty corners often need.
Impressively, this vase effortlessly bridges different design styles; while it’s marketed for boho interiors, I can easily see it complementing contemporary, coastal, or even minimalist spaces where a natural element is needed.
One shopper wrote in a review: “This vase is quite big. Perfect for my hallway to put my dry grass flowers in, very happy with it.”
We found similar styles available at Caroline Garderner, including the Rose Candy Striped Small Ceramic Jug for £25.
