After the long months with everyone indoors, it's no wonder our homes are looking a little shabbier than we'd like. And while a full-on redecoration is nobody's idea of fun, it's easier than you think to inject a little style.

Just one great lamp, cushion set or throw can turn a living space from unappealing to insta-worthy, while a tired kitchen gets an instant boost from a new set of colourful plates or sleek glasses.

The bathroom, meanwhile, just needs a good scrub and a fresh set of fluffy towels to be spa-ready for summer guests - and finish it off with a gorgeous, summery scent to disguise the aromas of dog and teenager that may be lingering.

For your home office, nothing lifts a dull desk faster than a houseplant or two - and if you don't have to water them, even better.

So where do we turn for affordable, chic and long-lasting homeware? There are no prizes for guessing that it's our trusty Marks & Spencer, of course.

That's why we've picked our favourite new pieces from M&S' homeware collection that offer instant makeover potential for the price of lunch. Any one of them offers instant chic - or buy the lot, and open a boutique hotel.
