Is M&S the new Soho Home? I couldn’t believe this was M&S

This month, Marks & Spencer dropped its spring/summer 2026 home range. And upon seeing the new pieces, I couldn't believe that many of them were indeed from M&S – they just look so high-end. I thought to myself – Soho Home, is that you? Or is M&S the new Soho Home, just a more affordable one?

I’m a big fan of Soho Home, which furnishes all the Soho House private members’ clubs around the world, and its style, which blends mid-century modern elements with other retro aesthetics and focuses on materials like marble, burl wood and textured textiles.

But unfortunately for me, the Soho Home pieces come at rather high prices, which I (as many others) sadly can’t afford. This is where Marks & Spencer’s new offering comes to the rescue.

A section of the Soho Home Notting Hill store with a green velvet accent chair, a marble coffee table and console table and a switched on table lamp with a totem-style base — This was taken at Soho Home's Notting Hill store – and the pictured green chair looks a lot like Marks & Spencer's new armchair.

Since M&S Home is widely known and loved for its lighting, we’ve already covered some of the new lamps from Marks & Spencer’s spring/summer collection. But since then, there have been even more new lamp styles landing on the M&S site and in stores, including one particular lamp that (my) dreams are made of.

But it’s not just lamps that have impressed me – there are designer-worthy cushions, mirrors and even furniture that I’ve included in my top picks below and that I still can’t believe cost as little as they do. I’m clearly still absolutely gobsmacked and super impressed with where Marks & Spencer is taking things. The bar has been raised pretty high…

My top picks

M&S

All Over Glass Table Lamp

I can't stop thinking about this irregularly shaped, amber-coloured glass table lamp. It looks like a designer piece and I need it in my life!

M&S

Leather Basket Weave Cushion

Soft furnishings are the perfect way to bring various materials and textures into your space - this woven leather style will do just that, while also elevating your sofa or bed.

M&S

Marble Round Wall Mirror

Soho Home includes a lot of marble pieces in its range. And contrasting tones as seen on the frame of this round mirror is something right up the brand's street.

M&S

Chenille Checked Quilted Cushion

I'm very tempted to add this cushion to basket as I'm writing this - I can't believe it's just £25. It comes in three different earthy colourways, with one already out of stock - so better hurry.

M&S

Block Accent Armchair

When it comes to Soho Home's sofa and chair designs, the brand often likes to expose the wooden structure similarly to the way this accent chair showcases the wooden panels going through the armrests.

M&S

Ribbed Arc Floor Lamp

Delicate floor lamps like this M&S design are something of a Soho Home specialty. M&S also got the contrasting cone-shaped base so right.

M&S

Marlowe Round Wall Mirror

I couldn't stick to only one mirror as there were quite a few designs in the new range I was impressed by. Not to mention that Soho Home loves a mirror with a statement frame like this striped wooden one.

M&S

Evelyn Wooden Bobbin Floor Lamp

Soho Home is big on the bobbin trend, especially using it on its lighting. And if I would have seen this M&S floor lamp on the Soho Home website, I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

M&S

Marble Hurricane Candle Holder

Since marble is Soho Home's go-to material, I couldn't leave this list with just one marble product. You can incorporate the material through smaller accessories, too, and this hurricane candle holder is perfect for this.

M&S

Marble Effect Ceramic Vase

I love pretty much anything with a marbled pattern - from lampshades to ceramics like this M&S vase. And as already mentioned, Soho Home loves marble - but you don't have to be literal and can opt for something with a marbled pattern instead.

M&S

Rattan Large Round Coffee Table Tray

When I first saw this tray, I loved the shape and the chunky trim. For £25, I was worried it might be plastic rattan. But I was pleasantly surprised when I found out it's actually natural rattan. This tray is perfect for serving drinks and snacks or for displaying decorative objects, candles etc.

M&S

Pleated Fabric Flush Wall Light

Wall lights in an of themselves look expensive - which is why they're one of the biggest lighting trends of the year. But make it pleated, as Soho Home often does, and it looks even more elevated.

Are you tempted by Marks & spencer's new Soho Home-esque range as much as I am? Which piece do you have your eye on?
