Any decent places to check out online? Just for general decorating ideas, cool furniture, good ideas, colour schemes etc
Most of the top google results are a bit too grown up so looking for some suggestions
Might be good to start a list & have it pinned?

I normally have a look online then find nothing I like.
You pick stuff up as you go along, something will catch your eye.

MyDeco and Houzz websites. They both have awesome iPad apps with loads of photos on too.

I used to look through avforums but all the ones I liked involved having a wall basically covered in TV and speakers, missus wasn't having it

Next stuff is extortionate. Got 2 curtain poles that cost the best part of £200 and they are crap.

we love next home and have spent a bomb in there, but you an get much better stuff for cheaper at places like dunelm and the range, which also have set up's to give you good decorating ideas.

Next stuff can be found half the price in other shops, its only bought by the type of people who buy it so they can tell you they have a next curtain pole from next

I'd rather have a £5 curtain pole tbh, do you think I had any input in what curtain poles I have?
You can't tell the quality when it's in the box. I won't be getting anymore.
I didn't know next was the sort of place you boast about buying stuff from either

WTF? Next is hardly the kind of place you want people to know you bought stuff from.
They do good stuff but I wouldn't say it's a particularly prestigious brand.

Did my first round of shopping/looking yesterday & I have to say although Next isn't a prestigious brand it's certainly solid as far as the furniture goes. Not all of it is that great but it at least feels worth the extra money
But then again I found out I get 25% discount so my opinion has been bought

Was about to say the range do some really good stuff and to top it off i get 25% off found quite a few small bits & bobs from there we want, but know getting around the sofa she wants from next, have to agree on how much people bang on about it, although it or most of it is better quality then say argos ect
