Preloved

What a great way to be green, save money and find some choice items - buy them preloved! What we mean by this is how and where to look for second hand items, whether you're after an antique with 500 years of history under it's veneer, or some handsome old shipping rope to complete your nautical theme, preloved our new section will have loads of info for you.

We're great believers in making new out of old. It's pretty crazy what people get rid of from their interiors. All round the world home owners have been discarding their old (sometimes incredibly valuable and stylish) interior design stuff, and whacking in brand plasticky new stuff. Now that's all well and good, but when you have a wealth of places both online and offline to sell or exchange your home wares, like EBAY's interior design pages for example then why not sell it on and let someone else love your old stuff!?

Buying into older or used home decor items will often give you the chance to grab a bargain, from old wooden bureaux's to stylish accessories which compliment your room design themes. Take a dusty old table, sand it off, strip off the old paint, wax it, and hey presto you have a beautiful, unique piece of furniture, that no-one in IKEA will ever want to see, but that only you will have, rather than the headless masses.

There's plenty of places around to grab some preloved bargains, countless stores across the globe, and we are sure these pages will provide ideas and resources for getting your hands on a cherished, unique and preloved item for your home!
