Was £479, Now £299!

First off, who knew IKEA did washing machines? This TVÄTTAD washing machine is currently reduced from £479 to £299.

It's been praised by customers for being extra quiet, so if yours has spun its last spin, it could be the way to go. In the reviews section, one IKEA fan even says it's got the 'best spin I have ever had.'

2. MARKERAD Glass door cabinet

Was £150, Now £60!

Now for a slight gear change - next we have this sleek glass door cabinet in pine, £60, down from £150. It would work brilliantly as a stylish living room storage idea that won't feel bulky thanks to its transparent surfaces.

We're thinking succulents, books (for the lower shelf) and decorative pieces picked up on our travels. The cabinet isn't currently available online, but can still be picked up in stores.
