Buying a bed, table or a big-ticket item online can feel like a leap of faith. The fact that Dusk is loved by both our readers and the House Beautiful style team is testament to the brand’s winning formula: stylish, well-made pieces at an accessible price.
‘We focus on creating products that are affordable but look luxurious, whether that’s a dining table that becomes the backdrop to years of family mealtimes, or a bed you’ll love sinking into every evening,’ says Jennie Mijailovic, head of buying.
What’s your advice for choosing the right pieces for your home?
‘Your home doesn’t have to be finished to be beautiful. In fact, it’s dangerous to furnish a whole room overnight! The best homes evolve over time, collecting memories, favourite finds and little imperfections that make them meaningful.’
Jennie's tips for choosing big-ticket buys for the home
1. Think about practical extras
Storage beds and ottomans can be game-changers, especially when space is tight.
2. Measure twice, buy once
Check the dimensions of your room, but don’t forget doorways, hallways and stairs. The perfect bed isn’t much use if it can’t make it through the front door!
3. Choose materials that suit your lifestyle
Whether you’re dealing with young children, muddy paws or a favourite pair of dark denim jeans, opt for fabrics and finishes that work with the way you really live.
