I’m a psychologist… what your favourite homeware shop says about you and why you’d never do DIY with a fan of The Range
WE'VE all got our preferences when it comes to where we buy our homeware.
Mrs Hinch might be a die-hard Home Bargains fan, while you might tend to stick to Poundland.
But what does your favourite high street homeware store really say about you?
According to psychologist Emma Kenny, quite a lot - and apparently it's high praise if you're a B&M fan...
B&M: Practicality and Bargain Hunting
For those that prefer the aisles of B&M, Emma suggests this means you're both a keen bargain hunter and practical thinker.
The mum-of-two, 45, said: "If you find yourself drawn to B&M, it suggests that you have a practical and thrifty nature.

"B&M shoppers appreciate the value for money and the vast array of practical products available.
"You have a keen eye for a good deal and enjoy the thrill of finding bargains.
"Your practicality and resourcefulness make you adept at making the most of what you have, and you have a knack for finding affordable solutions to everyday needs.
"Even though you are proud of your thrifty nature, this doesn’t make you a skin flint when it comes to the people you love and you are known for your generosity of spirit and for the care that you take of those closest to you."

The Range: Creative and Artistic
"Preferring The Range indicates a creative and artistic flair," shared the former This Morning regular.
"The Range shoppers are drawn to the store's extensive selection of art supplies, home decor, and craft materials.
"You have a passion for self-expression and enjoy surrounding yourself with visually appealing elements.
"Your creative spirit shines through as you seek inspiration from your surroundings and use your imagination to transform spaces and projects into works of art.
"Your Achilles heel is remaining focused after your initial enthusiasm for a project wanes, and this can sometimes mean that you fail to complete certain tasks because you are too busy daydreaming about your next big idea."
Home Bargains: Practicality and Simplicity
For Emma, those who love Home Bargains are more logical and prioritise functionality over style.
She shared: "Home Bargains appeals to individuals who value practicality and simplicity.
"Home Bargains shoppers appreciate the store's focus on essential items at affordable prices.
"You prioritize functionality and find joy in the simplicity of everyday essentials.
"For you, it's not about excess or extravagance but rather about striking a balance between practicality and affordability.
"You understand that it's the small things that make a big difference in life.
"Your organized and efficient nature enables you to create a well-balanced and harmonious living environment.
"Whether it's finding the perfect storage solution, stocking up on household necessities, or discovering clever gadgets that simplify your daily routine, you navigate the aisles of Home Bargains with a practical mindset, always seeking to improve your daily life."
Poundland: Resourcefulness and Creativity
"Preferring Poundland suggests that you are resourceful and creative," claimed the psychologist.
"Poundland shoppers excel at finding innovative uses for affordable items. You see the potential in every product and your creative mind constantly seeks new possibilities.
"Poundland's aisles become your treasure trove, brimming with untapped potential and hidden gems.
"From DIY projects and upcycling to inventive gift-giving and home decor hacks, you thrive on turning simple and inexpensive items into something extraordinary.
