La Redoute is having a huge 40% sale on homeware - these are the pieces the Ideal Home team are snapping up

'I think these wall lights are the perfect thing to snag in the sale as at only £28 each you can justify picking up as many as you need for above bedside tables, or as task lighting in an office or living room. I also love that they're not wired in, you just need a plug nearby, so you can add extra lighting without fuss,' says Thea Babington-Stitt, managing editor at Ideal Home.

'A jute rug is a brilliant way to add texture to a room, and it's a timeless choice that you can adapt if you want to restyle it or use it in a different space. I love the addition of the scallop edge on this one – it gives it a modern twist and adds an extra design detail for a designer feel,' says Heather Young, Editor in Chief at Ideal Home

'I'm about to move into a new flat that comes with Divan bed bases so I'm looking for a new headboard to make the room my own. I already own a rattan chest of drawers so I think this cane headboard from La Redoute will be perfect. The light wood will make the room feel bright and calming and will make slow weekend mornings in bed with a coffee much more comfortable. Headboards can be surprisingly expensive too so catching one in the sale feels like too good of an offer to pass up,' says Holly Cockburn, content editor at Ideal Home.

‘I’ve got my eye on the Breto Matt Spotted Ceramic Vase from La Redoute. I’ve been looking for a new vase for my bedroom, and I absolutely love this one. Even without flowers, it’ll make a great statement piece. It’s 20% off at the moment, so I think I’ll be treating myself to it!’ says Sophie King, gardens editor at Ideal Home.

'I would get this because it's literally timeless - a jellyfish fossil, how cool! I love that it's also glass blown, and as someone who likes to collect sea shells (and whatnot), this would definitely be an upgrade in my collection,' says Amal Tabache, social media assistant at Ideal Home.

'It’s never too early to start thinking about the festive season and if last year’s Christmas dinner was a squeeze this extendable dining table from La Redoute could solve your hosting problems. It seats 4 normally but extends to seat up to 10 when needed. It’s certainly not cheap, but the current discount offers a huge saving,' says Amy Lockwood, Ecommerce editor at Ideal Home.
