On a budget or ready to splurge...interiors to lust after.

There is always a trend of high-end designer pieces that are then re-created for the mass market. From chairs to lamps you will see the designer influence trickle down to mainstream shops with a price point that won't break the bank. 

I have collated 5 top picks that are splurge-worthy versus their highstreet counterparts: which do you pick? Well, that's up to you...and your bank balance. 

West Elm v's &Tradition

West Elm has created the Juniper Chair made from a solid acacia wood frame and legs with grey upholstery which has a mid-century feel, much the same at the &Tradition Fly SC1 lounge chair. The Fly chair has a whole range of sofas, armchairs and coffee tables made from solid oiled oak and in a range of fabric choices and designed by SPACE Copenhagen. Which would you chose?

Zara Home v's Le Klint

A retractable wall lamp is ideal for reading corners and flexible workspaces. Zara Home has created this retro design with pleated lamp shade for a fraction of the cost of the designer piece by Le Klint. If you are looking for that highend aesthetic but don't have the budget then its a great addition to your home. If you want a style classic, a piece to add to your collection, then the Le Klint SAX 223 lamp is a must have design created in 1952. 

Zara Home lamp £89.99 

Le Klint lamp $770 from The Finnish Design Shop

Pan Emirates V's Bolia.com

A low level modular sofa with exposed seams are often featured in interior editorials, and with sofas being the most expensive item in your home it is easy to get carried away with a high price point. A great budget friendly version is the Hurricane Sectional Sofa from Pan Emirates in grey. If you have the budget to go for designer then the Bolia.com Cosima Sofa in cream has multiple configurations to suit any sized living space. 

Pan Emirates Sofa AED 3995

Bolia.com AED 19980 available from The Bowery Company 

H&M Home V's Hay Design

H&M Home often follow designer trends much like their fashion sector. You cannot get closer to the designer aesthetic than their Metal Lounge Chair in black which is ideal for interior or exterior use. The similarities to the Hay Hee Lounge Chair are evident with the graphic liner design and low frame. All that differs with these two from first glance is the price point. 

H&M Home chair AED 699

HAY Design Chair AED 1450 from The Bowery Company 

JYSK V's Jonathan Adler

One of the biggest bargains I have seen is the JYSK Faces Plant Pot which looks great and is influenced by the Jonathan Adler Muse collection. Designed as a plant pot, but could as easily be used as a candle holder or on your desk to hold pens.  The Muse collection by Jonathan Adler has a large range of decoartive pieces all with the icon multiple faces.
