John Lewis
No shopping trip on the high-street for homeware would be complete without a trip to John Lewis.
We particularly love its new ANYDAY range, which offers great quality furniture at very affordable prices. Good Housekeeping's Homes and Gardens Director, Carolyn Bailey, loves the Sweep Small Sofa in this range. "The new ANYDAY range from John Lewis has furniture at rock bottom prices," she says. "This tailored, compact sofa with clean lines would work well in small spaces and would make a great addition an office or kitchen."
