It's that luxe feel without the price tag
Spend any time on the internet lately and you’ll notice a feeling of excitement around M&S’ new homeware collection. From the viral pleated fabric light (now sold out, we’re afraid) to the £39.50 lamp that looks like it belongs in a luxury hotel, people are obsessed.
Elegant, luxurious – and crucially – actually affordable, people online have started comparing the brand to luxury retailers like Soho Home.
‘Soho House inspired décor, but without the hefty price tags. @marksandspencer really understood the assignment,’ writes Katie Statham of @mosswoodlodge.
Ellie Fenlon, of Fenlon Interiors, agrees, praising the M&S Aldwin Pendant dupe. 'One high street retailer that has been killing the game right now is Marks & Spencers. Their collection is *chef's kiss*,' she says.
Soho Home is an interiors collection from Soho House that specialises in elegant, curated homeware. Think rich warm shades, decorative marble and classic pieces with a retro edge. Its items are stunning but there’s just one catch – it is pricey with a capital ‘P’.
This very fact has caused interiors obsessives to scour M&S for alternatives. Inspired by the online search for the Soho Home aesthetic, we decided to do some of the hard work for you. Here are the best Soho Home-worthy pieces from M&S to add to your wishlist…
Over the last few years, marble has become something of a quiet luxury staple. This hexagonal side table with an earthy-coloured marble top is a great way to jump on the trend.
Nothing beats the understated elegance of a Soho Home floor lamp. This arc lamp from M&S is reminding us of the Lina from Soho Home – slim, curved and with a mid-century lampshade that finishes off the whole look.
It would be remiss of us to not include a piece of velvet furniture. This luxe armchair from M&S in the colour Mink in the perfect way to elevate your dining room set-up in a chic but understated way.
Seeking a simple and cost-effective way to embrace the Soho Home aesthetic? This elegant cylindrical vase might just be the way to go. In our minds, we picture it perching on a beautiful mid-century sideboard. Add a chic retro lamp for the full Soho look.
When we think of Soho Home, one of the first materials we think of is burl. This classic wood has shot up in popularity over the last year, adding interest to side tables and dresser drawers everywhere.
A little bit retro and a little bit modern – this is the Soho Home way. We love the wooden base and pleated lampshade combo in this ribbed table lamp. The geometric shapes in the shade's fabric also provide a welcome, unexpected twist.
The key to the Soho Home look is blending modern taste with classic style. This retro-looking sideboard with its oak veneer and soft curves is a fantastic way to update your storage at home.
One of the best ways to elevate a living room corner is to invest in a sophisticated armchair. This smart chair from M&S pairs a warm wooden frame with a classic cream fabric. It's mid-century elegance at its best.
