Can you tell the designer furniture from the bargains from B&M, Lidl and Wilko? How to make your home look luxe for less

Crafty homeowners have showed you don’t need to spend thousands to achieve a high-end look, with numerous high-street stores selling a range of homeware pieces.

Supermarkets from Aldi to Lidl, and stores from Primark to Wilko, have brought out their own homeware collections – with key pieces resembling their pricier rivals.

From rugs to plant pots and cushions to clocks, we’ve scoured bargain stores for some essential pieces which will add a touch of luxury, without blowing the budget.

Starting from just £3, some of these homeware must-haves are more than £1,000 cheaper than their expensive twins.

But can you tell the difference between the designer version and its cut price double?

The drinks trolley is a near double of Primark's version, but it will set you back a few hundred
