Finishing Touches, HomeSense Excitement and WIN! a £100 HomeSense Gift Card Posted on March 28, 2017August 13, 2021 By Becky Those who know and read this blog, will know that I am somewhat of an interiors nut- whether it’s doing up and renovating my own home, reading other interior-loving blogs, or catching up on the latest trends, I just love, love, LOVE all things homey. Which is why I still can’t believe that I hadn’t set foot until recently in a HomeSense, THE shop for all things interiors at very reasonable prices. A trip with the kids to Jump Giants in Dartford during February half term had me veering off-course with them post-bounce once I’d realised how close a store was, and swiftly hotfooting it into one of their stores. Definitely worth the extra M25 rush hour traffic home! Whilst I was fairly restrained during that visit, it won’t be long before I no-doubt bring a carload of new HomeSense purchases back with me. Having recently done up and renovated our new home, with just the finishing touches to go, I’m looking forward to another trip sans kids to pick up some new homeware. I’m going to be looking for stylish-yet-useful storage for our kitchen and new baby’s room, prints for the hallways, excellent al-fresco patio accessories, a funky new dinner service, and some new bed linen as an addition to our newly decorated bedroom. There’s also something about Spring that makes you want to ditch the Hygge, throw open those windows and get your spring clean and accessorize on. Well, maybe not quite so enthusiastic about the cleaning, but you catch my drift… And to celebrate a new season and tweaking your home, I’m feeling generous today as I have a whopping £100 HomeSense gift card to give away to one lucky blog reader. All you have to do is fill in the Rafflecopter below, using as many options as you’d like.

I’m always tweaking my garden; it’s divided into separate areas or rooms as I call them. HomeSense is fantastic, I’ve found many a quirky gem and love delving through all the pots and ornaments hoping to find something a bit different for the garden. Reply
I would love to tweak the living room – we could just do with sprucing up the soft furnishings and make it look a bit less tatty! 🙂 Reply
I’m moving into my first home so I’d love to tackle all rooms but i think the bedroom may be the top priority! Reply
I’d love to do something with the master bedroom, since we moved in last year we haven’t done anything in there, its become a man cave more than a bedroom , (much to hubbies delight) x Reply
It’s been a while since our living room had a revamp, so some new bits and pieces would be great Reply
The bedroom – its turned into a dumping ground for half the random crap in our flat and badly needs clearing out and a facelift 😀 Reply
I’d love to tweak my bedroom. Just some new bed linen would make all the difference. Spring colours and designs would really enhance the room. Reply
My living room, perhaps new furniture probably smaller furniture & a fire surround would be lovely 🙂 x Reply
Definately our dining room which is looking a little tired and dull and needs some colourful accessories and fresh paint Reply
My wife wants to convert our now empty second bedroom into a sewing/craft room for herself, so this would be fab! Reply
I’d love to sort our lounge/dining room. We’ve gone for plain magnolia walls, abd neutral furniture, with the intention of jazzing it up with colourful accessories. Reply

I only discovered HomeSense about a year ago and like you, couldn’t believe it had taken me so long! I love the soft furnishings and accessories in HomeSense but the bathroom stuff i pretty cool too. Reply
My bedroom – it is DULL DULL DULL! Living in a rented house means I can’t change the dreadful magnolia walls and wood effect doors. But introducing a pop of colour via soft furnishings would be great. Reply
I’m hoping to finish making my bedroom look pretty, I’ve made some progress in the past few months but I’m not quite finished. 🙂 Reply
We’re hoping to re-do several rooms this year — we’re well overdue for some decorating! but if we win this voucher, I’d probably spend it on the living room. Reply
We had an extension built last year, the whole process was exhausting so we basically gave the new rooms a lick of paint and then moved furniture straight in. I want to finish off the rooms with some nice wall art and accessories Reply

Homesense is amazing! We’re lucky that one has just opened up in Leeds City Centre and it’s only two doors down from TK Maxx as well! Reply
We moved into a new build house last year, and we are still finding the time & money to decorate. The room most in need of a facelift is our bedroom, it’s so bare and empty, and has bare plaster on one of the walls, that the builders still haven’t fixed! xx Reply
My living room definitely needs a bit of a refresh! I’d love to go and get some giant cushions from Homesense – my friend got some recently and they’re gorgeous! 🙂 Reply

For me it would have to be the spare bedroom. New curtains, bedding and cushions would make a massive difference Reply
I’d like to tweak my bedroom. It is definitely the most neglected room in the house and yet it is the most important because I sleep there. Too much clutter, time to be ruthless! Reply
I’ve just finished re-decorating my son’s room. The dining room is next on the hit list – some rather nasty woodchip wallpaper to be dealt with!! Reply
I think the kitchen – it needs painting and with a new colour on the walls, I plan to change the blinds and a few accessories on the worktop, too. Reply

Our bedroom. The kids had their rooms completed when we moved in but ours never did get to the finished stage due to re-decorating over handprints etc. Now they are a little older and taking care of things more it would be lovely to focus on our room. Reply

dEFINATELY MY LIVING ROOM, i WANT TO CHANGE MY COLOUR SCHEME TO MATCH MY RUG AND ALSO NEED SOME PICTURES AND FRAMES PUTTING UP Reply
I would update my kitchen. I need a new Brita type filter and I would give the walls a lick of paint. Need to get a blind for the back door, but I have been promising myself that for some time now Reply
We are currently converting our living room to an open plan living room/kitchen, not an easy task! I’m looking for items to tie in both parts of the room! Possibly cushions and throws and a new dinner plates. I just wish it to be an inviting colourful and creative feeling area for the whole family to rest in. Oh and to get the creative juices flowing at homework time!! Reply
All of it apart from my livingroom! We moved in in October and managed to get the livingroom completely sorted before Christmas and was meant to restart on the house after Christmas was out of the way, but its still not done. Reply
I want to makeover the lounge. Our cushions are beautiful but after years of use they are now a little threadbare. I bought them at TK Maxx, before they split off the HomeSense part so I know it is a great place to find a bargain. Reply
The kitchen. It needs some new paint and wallpaper. Just the thought of it is off-putting though. Reply
Were just in the process of selling;buying a new home, in our new place I’d like to revamp the living room first. Reply
My living room! It feels so boring and plain it really does need tweaking and some life put into it x Reply
My bedroom. As I fell pregnant just after moving we set up the nursery but my bedroom doesn’t even have a curtain yet Reply

My Daughters bedroom as she is in the smallest bedroom at the moment and needs to move into the bigger room now my son has left home so it needs a girly makeover first Reply

The whole house but the kitchen is the most important place to start as we spend so much time in there Reply
My living room needs a makeover, so I am just in the middle of redecorating. I’m sure I could purchase lots of lovely things from Homesense to complete my finished look. Reply
