Budget-conscious shoppers looking to refresh their living spaces have discovered an elegant storage solution during B&M's recent furniture sale. The Home Essentials Beauty Storage Ottoman, now priced at just £16, provides a practical and stylish way to organise beauty products while doubling as functional home decor.
Affordable Elegance for Beauty Enthusiasts
B&M, renowned for its value homeware offerings, has discounted this "elegant" piece of furniture in a Special Buy sale. The neutral-coloured ottoman combines style, comfort, and functionality, featuring a sturdy seat with a hidden compartment ideal for storing makeup, accessories, and other essentials out of sight.
The retailer describes it as "the perfect blend of style, comfort, and functionality," noting its ideal size for organising beauty products. Photos reveal that lifting the lid exposes a spacious interior with room for various tools and items, making it a versatile addition to any room.
Versatile Storage Beyond Beauty
While marketed for beauty storage, this practical item can serve multiple purposes. Shoppers can use it as a toy box, or by adjusting the side organisers, store blankets or guest bedding. Its plain top design offers a minimalist aesthetic that fits various decor styles.
Comparing with Higher-Priced Alternatives
Online searches reveal similar items at significantly higher prices. Dunelm sells its Boucle Large Round Ottoman for £40, described as a "soft" ivory-coloured stool designed to "elevate living spaces" as a versatile addition.
Key differences include Dunelm's version having one large storage space versus B&M's compartmentalised design, and a stitched pattern on top resembling button-tufting, compared to B&M's plain finish. B&M does not provide dimensions, making direct size comparisons challenging online.
Shopper Considerations
Choosing between the B&M bargain and Dunelm's £40 option depends on individual space, style preferences, and budget. The compartmentalised design of B&M's ottoman may appeal to those needing organised storage, while Dunelm's version offers a different aesthetic.
Other B&M Bargains Gaining Attention
This storage stool isn't the only item attracting shopper interest. A practical £40 "lamp shelf" combines lighting and storage features, demonstrated by TikTok user Jordan (@Jordanlipscombe) in her home setup.
After assembly, she decorated it with books, scent diffusers, candles, and other B&M homeware, praising its dimmable lights. Commenters called it "great value" and "lovely for the living room," highlighting B&M's reputation for affordable, functional finds.
