It is safe to say that shopping is about to get a whole lot slower. New measures that many shops are enforcing include using disposable plastic sheets to test a sofa, and one-way traffic systems.

Some furniture stores, such as IKEA were allowed to reopen in May. However many have waited to reopen. We've rounded up a list of all our favourite homeware stores and when they're due to reopen.

However, before you hit the shops, remember – this is going to be a different shopping experience to the pre-lockdown norm. And this isn't the best time for casual browsing. So, try and do the bulk of your browsing online first, and go armed with a shopping list.
