Supermarkets are no longer just somewhere to go when fridge supplies run low. Increasingly, they're a constant source of inspiration to help make over your home interiors on a budget, too.
After all, what could be more convenient than popping a swish new cushion in your shopping basket alongside store cupboard essentials?
With supermarkets upping their interiors game over the last few years and offering products at purse-friendly prices, giving your home a refresh won't break the bank.
A simple way to update a bedroom on a budget is to buy a few decorative, scatter cushions for your bed. Pick out a colour in your bedding and opt for different textures to help add interest.
Starting from £5, George at ASDA offers a selection of cushions including this fluffy pink Mongolian faux fur cushion, priced at £7. Pair it with soft greys and metallic golds to help it stand out.
Colourful storage baskets are great for tidying away messy magazines, books and toys. Priced at £12.99 for a pair, these nautical-theme baskets from Aldi will help make even your clunkiest possessions look stylish.
Head to any store on August 7 to pick them up or order them online from August 5.
Entertaining in your home can be fun but it can become expensive to invest in all the right tools and accessories.
Head to Tesco to find a selection of copper barwares, starting from £5. No soirée is complete without fancy glasses and a cocktail shaker to help get the party started.
Keep an eye out in store for gold-patterned tumblers, pictured above, to glam up your drinks offerings.
Towels, small mirrors, soap dispensers and baskets can all make a difference when it comes to overhauling your bathroom.
Sainsbury's towels start from just £2.50 and will hardly make a dent in your weekly shop.
Finally, German budget supermarket Lidl is releasing a special storage collection in store from August 5.
Here you'll find a white wooden storage bench perfect for concealing a multitude of house sins. It also doubles up as a bench.
