The Big Flat Transformation: How You Can Get The Look For Less
Poundland has just completed one of its most exciting projects yet: the transformation of a historic building into a stunning new store with four chic flats using some of our best homeware pieces. As we celebrate the opening of our newly refurbished store in Elgin, we’re giving you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how we styled four stunning apartments above the store - all decked out with amazing Poundland homeware. And the best part? You can recreate the look in your own home, all without breaking the bank.
Keep reading as we take you on a tour of the transformation and share how you can easily get the same chic style at home with our budget-friendly décor!
Poundland’s Big Flat Transformation
Our flat transformation in Elgin is a first for Poundland. Not only did we restore an iconic heritage building, but we also styled one of the flats entirely with products from our extensive homeware range. From cosy cushions to stylish rugs and chic picture frames, we carefully curated each space to show off the very best of our new home décor collections.
What makes this project even more exciting is the budget – many of the products used in the apartment cost just £5 or less, purchased directly from the Elgin store below! Yes, you heard that right. We’ve shown that it’s possible to create a high-end look for less, and we want to inspire you to do the same.
Through this transformation, we wanted to highlight that you don’t need to spend a fortune to create a home that feels luxurious. Whether you're decorating an apartment or simply refreshing a room, Poundland’s homeware offers plenty of stylish options that won’t break your budget.
You Can Get the Look for Less
Now that we’ve revealed how we styled the flats, it’s your turn! You can achieve the same stunning look in your home by using Poundland’s range of budget-friendly homewares.
The Living Room: Lounge in Luxury
The living room in our newly renovated flat is a true standout, featuring a neutral colour scheme, chic accessories, and cosy textures. Want to replicate this? We’ve got you covered.
Start by layering soft cushions and throws from Poundland’s homeware range online and in-store. Our cushion covers for just £3 and statement rug for £6 add that touch of luxury without the hefty price tag. Looking for a statement piece? Try our seagrass baskets starting at just £4 or a stylish picture frame from £2.20 to give your walls some personality.
For a pop of light, check out our LED paper mushroom lamp available in-store at £2.50, which will add a cosy vibe to any room.
Bedroom Bliss: Sleep in Style
Next up, let’s talk about the bedroom. For this transformation, we wanted to create a calm, restful space with a touch of elegance. Recreate this look in your bedroom with our bedspreads for just £10 and a luxury faux sheepskin rug for just £12. Simply head down to your local Poundland to find these incredible deals.
Add a bit of greenery with our affordable plant pots, starting at £4, and finish the look with soft touches like bath towels from £1.74. These simple, but stylish additions will turn your bedroom into a peaceful retreat.
For a more dramatic effect, consider hanging a gallery wall - a perfect way to make a statement with our selection of picture frames. You can find plenty of inspiration in our guide to creating a gallery wall.
The Dining Area: Elegant Yet Affordable
The dining area in the flat is all about understated elegance. To recreate this at home, consider our wine glasses for £2.50 and cutlery sets for £6, with our handy cutlery organiser for £4. Add a simple table runner for £4 to bring everything together, and maybe finish it off with a statement vase (just £2.50).
These items are ideal for creating an inviting, stylish space to entertain guests or enjoy a quiet meal with your family - without the need for splurging.
The Kitchen: Functional and Stylish
Even the kitchen didn’t escape our transformation! Our stylish kitchen canisters (from £4) and tea towels (2-pack for £2.50) bring practicality and style into one. For even more value, we’ve incorporated Poundland’s classic grocery items, like our £1 bread, milk, and eggs. As after all, we’re the home of the £1. Yes, you can have a beautifully styled and functioning kitchen without breaking the bank.
