14 surprisingly nice home decor accessories under £5
Prices listed from low to high
Blush Leaf Tealight Holder | £2 at Dunelm
A bargain for £2 – and a surprisingly pretty one! – this tealight holder can add a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral room of yours. While adding light at the same time, obviously.
Artificial Eucalyptus Spray Ochre 72cm | £2.25 at Dunelm
Use artificial flowers to bring the outside in year-round. No need to change their water or trim their stems, and you can mix colours and switch them up by season. Great for adding a pop of colour, too.
Cork Photo Frame | £2.25 at Dunelm
Unique and surprisingly affordable, this cork photo frame is even eco-friendly and it comes in three sizes. Use it to display your most favourite memories around your home, or for artwork.
Matte Grey Candle Holder | £2.50 at Dunelm
This would look lovely in a modern living room, placed on a coffee table with a tealight popped inside. Alternatively, it would make a great gift as it looks way more expensive than it is.
Artificial Flocked Mint Leaf Bundle 23cm | £2.50 at Dunelm
Struggling to keep herbs alive in your kitchen? Buy these artificial ones – no one will know and they look just as good. They will add life to your kitchen side, and we suggest placing them above a sink or on a windowsill.
Printed Ceramic Storage Drawer Pull | £3 at Urban Outfitters
This drawer knob can spruce up any old chest of drawers or bedside table – or even storage cupboard – instantly. And, for just £3. Choose from a range of colours and attach it in a few minutes.
Elements White Tealight Holder | £3 at Dunelm
Simple yet striking, this small tea light holder is a small addition that can make a big difference. We say pair it with a larger candle and a tapered one, together on a surface or in the middle of a table.
Printed Tumbler Glass | £3.50 at Matalan
This printed tumbler glass looks more expensive than it is. It’s perfect for garden use and other matching buys are available to shop. Sip your Pimms or pour yourself a freshly squeezed OJ in one of these.
Fluted Tealight Holder 14cm | £4 at Dunelm
Buy this fluted tealight holder to make a statement in your modern or minimalist home. It comes in black or white.
Fiori Orange Ceramic Condiment Dish | £4 at Oliver Bonas

Floral Glass Tumbler | £4 at Urban Outfitters
Sip your G&T in style in this floral glass tumbler – it even has a gold rim. The perfect spring summer glass for use anywhere including your garden, they’re a steal at £4 each!
Glass Embossed Bud Vase | £4.50 at Dunelm
This textured vase would look lovely with some tulips or daffodils inside. Make a statement and place it in the middle of a dining table, or in a hallway for your guests to see on arrival.
Sass & belle grey mojave glaze egg cup | £6 £4.80 at Missguided Home
Aren’t these egg cups lovely (and a total bargain)? They are glazed to make boiled eggs anything but boring, and they come in pink or grey.
PrettyWit Macrame Wall Hanging | £4.99 at Amazon
