I found an epic buy, a £150 mirror for £27 in HomeSense – there was a reason it was reduced but it transformed my room
IT’S the bargain-filled sister store of TK Maxx.
And you can find some epic buys in HomeSense, as influencer Eden Harvey discovered recently.
She took to TikTok to share her find – a House of Hue black, curved edge mirror originally marked up as £149.99 in the store.
“You will not believe the bargain we just found in HomeSense,” Eden began her video.
She then showed the huge mirror, which had some damage on some of the edges, and had been reduced in price.
After the price was initially cut to just £40, it had been reduced AGAIN, so Eden managed to snap it up for £27.99.
“What a bargain!” she captioned the TikTok.
People were quick to comment on the video, with one writing: “Nah I’m fuming I want it!”
“Omggg I need to go!” another admitted.
“Big up HomeSense,” a third said.
“Ooo I loves a bargain I does!” someone else commented.
While another wrote: “That’s only a bargain if you don’t mind fixing it.
“You’ll have to show us what it looks like when you’ve fixed it and put it somewhere in your house!”
Eden then obliged with another video, which showed what the mirror looked like in situ in their home.
She explained that her husband had used wood filler on the bits where the dents were deeper, and she’d painted over them.
Showing the mirror hanging on the wall in what looked to be a dining area, Eden gushed: “I absolutely love it.
“I think it just looks so cool, doesn’t it!”
She’d added a black and white mat on the floor too, to give a cosy “vibe” in the room.
“I love this space so much,” Eden wrote in the video caption.
“Looks great. That would be an amazing looking door frame,” one person commented on that video.
