Shop By Finish

Shop By Finish

When you’re renovating a whole room or an entire home, the uniformity of the look is important, so the decor doesn’t look like it was thrown together. But when you’re looking for furniture, it’s usually categorised by type – chairs, cupboards, and so on. So how do you find furniture that fits the look you’re going for without trawling through pages of stuff that would never fit your decor? You shop by finish!

All you need to do is use the filters on the left of your computer screen or the top of your phone screen to select the attributes that apply to what you’re looking for. So if you want mirrored furniture, for example, select “Mirrored” from the “Finish” menu and the page will only display mirrored furniture.

Now, of course, that might only help you a little bit, as it will show everything that’s mirrored, which is not much use if you’re just looking for a side table. It’s a particularly blunt tool with a category like “pine”, which has over 200 products! Well, all you have to do is continue filtering, and you’ll only be shown the items within the two, three or more categories you want to see. Eventually, you’ll zero in on a small selection of items and you can choose based on size, style and other factors.

If you want to clear a filter, it’s easy – just tap or click the little X next to the filter at the top and that factor will be removed from the search, showing a wider selection of furniture again.

So as you can see, decorating a room with a certain look is easy when you shop by finish. It’s a great way of getting inspiration, too, as you might not know about all the different items of furniture that are around that would fit your existing decor perfectly.

Our range of finishes is pretty extensive, containing pine, painted, oak, mirrored, gloss, distressed, powder-coated, upholstered and light wood. You can also filter by material, which also has its own finish, so items like glass and metal can be added to your search.

At Dunelm, we’re always looking for ways to make shopping easier so you can find the perfect solutions for your home decoration projects. By shopping by finish, we hope we’ve made it that little bit easier to zero in on the perfect things to make your home absolutely perfect.
