The recession may be waning but not all of us would-be fashionistas have the cash to splash on the latest hot catwalk items. For most, some savvy saving allows us to tote a desirable It-Bag or stride the streets in a pair of Manolos. But what about your humble home? When is the last time you treated your living room to a little upmarket style?

Designer-high street collaborations have been taking the fashion world (and our purses) by storm in recent years, but the real trend to tap into is the designer homeware collection. Yes, the creme de la creme of upscale fashion also create items that will allow your to turn your home into a fashion house. We’ve found some of our favourite items for the home from designers across Europe and many of them are a lot more affordable (and perenially fashionable) than the covetable garments you’ll find in their boutiques.
