Due to my student budget, I tend to opt for the cheaper of the stores in order to scout out a bargain for my student home. My current favourite &#8216;budget&#8217; places to shop include Asda (who are beginning to bring through amazing spring items) and Matalan, who I think\u00a0 offer the right mix of quality and price. If my budget was a bit bigger, I would probably opt for &#8216;mid-range&#8217; shops such as Next,\u00a0 Zara Home and Marks and Spencer as they do some lovely items at a slightly higher price. If I REALLY wanted to &#8216;splurge&#8217; I would be taking a trip to John Lewis as you can&#8217;t go wrong with the high quality and reliable items they offer.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever is your preferred price range, I have picked out my favourite items currently available and complied a list of the best 15.
