‘I bought this £60 high street rug instead of a £350 version – it's stylish and practical'

ok.co.uk:

My other half and I became first-time homeowners last year, and since then, we've been gradually filling our new space with furniture and homeware – who knew rugs could be so pricey?

However, I've just stumbled upon a fantastic deal that saved me from splurging on a high-end designer piece. I was on the hunt for a rug for our open-plan living room and had my eyes on one of Nordic Knots' chic yet simple jute designs.

But with prices starting at £245 and soaring to over £1,000 for the size I needed, I decided to explore some high street options before taking the plunge.That's when I discovered this Dunelm design for a fraction of the price – and I couldn't be happier with how it looks.
