Shopping is one of those activities that we always think we enjoy, but in reality, we don’t always! Men always assume that we love to shop. And while some women do, others will be happy to admit that it can be more hassle than it’s worth! When nothing fits or you can’t find what you’re looking for, shopping can be anything but fun! And when you’re looking to upgrade your home and create a fab new look with your interiors, the idea of shopping can put a downer on the whole idea. But it doesn’t have to. Because you might just be able to find the right pieces without traipsing all over town, just as long as you try out one of these five ideas!
Shop Local
Instead of heading to your nearest mega store or retail park, why not think about scaling things down a bit? Going to the same old interiors shops can soon get boring. So just don’t put yourself through it. Instead, why not think about hitting up some local places instead? You’ll definitely be able to find some independent boutiques and family businesses in your area – just search online for starters. And you’ll often find that they have unique pieces that you can’t find elsewhere, which will be sure to cut your search short!

Shop Social
Next up, why even leave your house at all? When you’ve got social media, you can shop from the sofa! Sometimes, shopping online can feel even more frustrating than hitting the High Street. There’s just too much choice! But if you follow interior designers on Instagram, you can see what they’re posting, and find stores they recommend and shop the links from there. Easy peasy!
Go Custom
When you have an idea in mind of what you want, and you’re struggling to find it in stores, then go custom. Who says you have to buy from one of the big stores anyway? It’s so much more fun with you choose something, from a store such as Montgomery, like made to measure curtains created just for you. With something custom, you can get exactly what you want without having to shop around. What could be better than that?

Go Vintage
If you’re really after something unique, then you definitely have to shop vintage. Everyone has a handful (if not more) of charity shops and second hand stores in their local town, village, or city. And you can often find some great home pieces that are in a good condition too. If you’re after something specific or one of a kind, then this is definitely the route you should go down.
Make Your Own
Or maybe you should just make something yourself? If you really can’t find what you’re looking for, and you’re happy to brush up on your crafting skills, definitely give it a go. From cushions and curtains to rugs and seat covers, you can definitely make a lot for the home yourself. And that way, you’ll always get exactly what you want.
