Questions
Sensible questions, honest answers
Is the planner really free?
Yes — completely. Enter your email and you get instant access to the interactive Room-by-Room Budget Planner. The weekly email is free too; unsubscribe with one click whenever you like.
What counts as a "dupe"?
A piece that captures the look, feel or function of a well-known designer item at a much lower price. We only send dupes with genuinely good reviews — if the cheap version looks cheap, it doesn't make the list.
I'm not in a small flat — is this still for me?
Yes. The small-space picks work anywhere (who doesn't want more storage?), and the dupe and seasonal finds apply to homes of every size.
How do you make money?
When you buy through our links, we may earn a small affiliate commission from the retailer — it costs you nothing extra and it's what keeps the planner and the weekly finds free. We only feature pieces we'd put in our own homes.
How often will you email me?
Once a week, plus the occasional seasonal edition. That's it — one calm email, never daily noise.
