Renting or purchasing a house [1] is one hurdle; making it a home is another. This is especially the case when it comes to cost. If you're looking to kit out your abode with affordable basics that still carry a certain character, consider H&M as a destination for more than wardrobe essentials. From bedding to interior accessories, read on for nine of our favourite H&M Home picks, all coming in varying shades, fabrics, textures, styles, and price points. They may even have you taking a detour on your way to IKEA.
Duvet Cover Set
The price tags when dressing a bed can be disheartening to say the least. This cotton duvet cover set [2] (£34.99) however promises not to be scratchy on your skin, or your wallet.
Laundry Bag
In my experience, it's a time-consuming mission to find a laundry bag that isn't a bedroom eyesore. Discovering H&M's laundry bag [3] (£12.99) changed all that.
Cushion Cover
When it comes to cushions, there really is no set price in some stores. In H&M, you can scoop up a cushion cover [4] for (£8.99). Don't forget the filling!

H&M's blankets, like this jacquard-weave blanket [5] (£17.99), are affordable, lightweight, and deliciously soft, making them perfect for added sofa warmth, bed throws, and picnic blankets.
Vase
If you've got a minimal home aesthetic on the brain, grab yourself a mini vase [6] (£2.99), and add a single flower.

Hunting for fairly priced towels that still have a touch of luxury? We recommend starting with this bath towel [8] (£8.99).
