Top picks from the Marks & Spencer homeware sale – up to 40% off

Marks and Spencer has slashed 40% off a selection of items from its homeware range in a flash-sale event that sees lighting, bedding, and more cut down in price. Kitchen, bathroom and general home decor are all catered for, plus if you need to buy someone a gift, there are hefty discounts on home fragrance and candle sets.

The retailer’s chic range has grown in recent years, and it has launched collaborations with print and interior designers including Kelly Hoppen and William Morris to offer high-end designs at affordable prices.

If you’re planning to update your home decor, want to add some fresh touches to your rooms, or just want to fill that empty space on your bedside table with a statement lamp, you don’t have to spend a fortune if you take advantage of the current offer. At the cheapest end of the sale, you could replace your towels with the Pure Cotton Retreat Towels from just £4.20.

Read on to discover my top picks from the Marks and Spencer homeware sale with up to 40% off.

William Morris is renowned for intricate nature-inspired designs and some of the famous patterns feature in this M&S bedding. Maximalism is a trend for 2025, and if you want to embrace bold patterns without the need for bright colours, you could still incorporate the Pure Cotton Sateen Compton Bedding Set into a calm and relaxing blue bedroom theme.

The 30% discount takes the set from £70 to £49 for the single, £100 to £70 for the double, £115 to £80.50 for the king size or £125 to £87.50 for the super king size.

For a simple bedding upgrade that’s low maintenance, this Pure Cotton 300 Thread Count Bedding Set has 30% off, and if your most dreaded chore is ironing, this might be the set for you, as it has a non-iron finish that keeps the fabric looking smooth and fresh. Choose from three calming shades: sage, light grey and neutral beige.

As the weather gets warmer, the 100% cotton is a plus point too, allowing for breathability, which is an advantage according to Lauren Fountain from the Sleep Foundation who says: ”Cotton is the most common material used in sheets and is known for its softness and breathability. High-quality cotton sheets can last for 5 to 10 years. Cotton sheets are easy to clean and become softer after every wash.”

The deal reduces the single from £25 to £24.50, the double from £48 to £33.60, the king size from £58 to £40.60, and the super king size from £68 to £47.60.

A lamp can add an inexpensive touch to a room to change the look of an area without redecorating, and the Marlowe Table Lamp has a wide, rounded base made from two-tone wood – a design feature that’s been seen at high-end brands like Soho Home with the £425 sold-out Anuel Table Lamp – but the M&S version is much cheaper.

Reduced by 30% off from £69 to £55, the Marlowe Table lamp could be placed on a bedside table or in the hallway for some extra atmospheric lighting.

Bobbled textures are all over high street and high-end home retailers, and the M&S Bobble Table Lamp comes in a faded green shade, with a textured finish and a slim base. This lamp adds a stylish touch to a room and makes a statement, but it’s also handy if your bedside table space is limited, as it also takes up minimal space.

Texture can be as important as colour for adding interest to a home, as Stacy Poltronieri at Anthony Michael Interior design said: ”Incorporating texture in design brings a unique sensory experience that contributes to the room’s character.”

If texture and lighting are a winning combo for you, you can now save 20% off the M&S Bobble Table Lamp with a reduction from £70 to £56.

Just because salt and pepper mills may be considered household essentials doesn’t mean they have to look boring and clunky. In Joseph Joseph’s minimal, sleek style, this Salt & Pepper Mill Set usually costs £50, but now has 40% off reducing it to £30.

It comes in two shades of blue, plus like many of the popular brand’s kitchen items, it has a handy functional feature – the mess-free design includes a unique top-grind mechanism that avoids spills, unlike the plastic supermarket mills that can leave an annoying trail of mess behind. There’s a feature to adjust the coarseness of the salt or pepper with a simple twist of the stainless steel top, so you can customise it, whether it’s for baking, cooking or using at the table.

If you’re looking to replace your entire tableware collection, the 12-piece Argo Dinner Set includes four dinner plates, four side plates and four cereal bowls. The stoneware set has a slightly irregular design for a rustic look.

Starting afresh with all your dinnerware might sound like it requires a hefty investment, but the M&S set now costs £48, down from £80 with the 40% discount.

Sometimes, making a house feel like a home is about the little touches, like scent. The Warmth Gifting Hamper includes eight items from candles and diffusers to room sprays, and it would also make the ultimate gift for someone who’s just moved in, plus the aesthetic basket could be used to store it all in or for extra bathroom storage. We think it would make a nice Mother’s Day gift too. 

Scent your home with woody sandalwood, cinnamon leaf and amber, at a heavily reduced price, as the Warmth Gifting Hamper is now £48 but would usually cost you £80.

If you’re a fan of fresh, citrus scents or know someone who is, this sweet heart-shaped basket is filled with lime, bergamot and mandarin-scented goodies, including wax melts and a burner. In a post by M&S content editor Dulcie Emerson about how to find the perfect home fragrance, she recommends citrus or spiced scents for the kitchen, to counteract cooking smells, but mentions that citrus can also be awakening in the mornings. 

40% off the Lime, Bergamot & Mandarin Gift Set slashes the price from £60 to £36.
