Mid-priced upholstery and lighting with a warm, muted palette — the workhorse of most of our under-budget rooms.
Halden Home is the retailer that turns up most often in our under-budget rooms, for a simple reason: their palette is already warm. A lot of mid-priced furniture is made in a cool grey-beige that fights a dark wall. Halden’s is not.
Upholstery in the £200–£600 band, and lighting under £150. The armchairs are the strongest part of the range — compact frames, which is the hard thing to find at this price, and legs that are part of the structure rather than screwed into a plate.
Anything that has to look solid at close range. The case furniture is veneered chipboard, which is normal at this price and fine for a side table that lives under a lamp, less fine for a console in a hallway where people put their hands on it.
They ship to the UK, Ireland and Australia. Australian delivery is the slow route, so check the lead time before you plan a room around it. European readers will generally do better with a retailer shipping from within the EU — there are several in our catalogue.
