Dunelm rivals Aldi Specialbuys with little-known deals section for stylish homeware

Anyone looking to spruce up their home this summer may want to head over to the Dunelm website to snap up some limited-time deals on stylish homeware.

For any Aldi shoppers out there who are missing browsing the famous Specialbuys range online since the supermarket announced that they will now only be available in stores, Dunelm could be the answer to your prayers. The homeware giant has its own Special Buys section both online and in stores, offering new arrivals at bargain prices for a limited time.

The Special Buys range currently includes over 100 homeware products with prices starting from just £2.10, ranging from the likes of towels and bedding to larger items such as armchairs and drawers. Items are either available for home delivery or to click and collect from your nearest Dunelm store for free, with branches located in North Shields, Gateshead, Sunderland and Durham.

The biggest Special Buy currently on offer at Dunelm is the Iris Sherpa Rocking Chair, priced at £169 and available in a range of different colours with a stylish Scandinavian-inspired design. Or to add a vintage touch to your home there's also the Josephine Velvet Button Back Chair, which comes with a price tag of £79 and is available in eye-popping colours including peacock green or blush pink.

The Josephine chair has an overall rating of four out of five stars based on ratings from Dunelm shoppers, with several people praising it as good value for money and saying it was very easy to put together. "Looks very stylish, really comfy and finishes my bedroom off so nicely," someone wrote in a five-star review.

Someone else added: "This looked good in the picture but is absolutely beautiful in the flesh. The material is super soft and the chair very elegant."

However, despite many people reporting that they found the chair easy to assemble, multiple shoppers who gave the chair a lower rating said they found that the screw holes "did not line up correctly". If you find any faults with what you've ordered, remember that you can return it to Dunelm or exchange it within 28 days of purchase.

Elsewhere in the Dunelm Special Buys section, there's the Scandinavian-style Freja furniture set ideal for completing your living room, or bedroom - and the collection currently has 30% off too. The oak set comprises several matching items, including a Bedside Table for £38.50 and a TV Unit for £69.30.

Other items available in the Special Buys section this week include curtains, vases, rugs and cushions. You can browse the full range here.
