Dunelm Mill

When we moved house, what didn’t come from Ikea came from Dunelm. Especially our kitchen accessories and table settings. They were really helpful when the lid on our teabag pot cracked and we needed to return it, about a fortnight after we got it. It was exchanged no questions asked and very promptly. Everything is well priced and good quality — apart from our cracked lid and a spoon rest that snapped in half, we’ve had no problems with anything we bought!

Although there are many good shops with cheap bits and pieces and everything you need close by and on easy bus routes in and around Leeds city centre this shop is an absolute bundle of amazement and joy for those wanting to DIY home furnishings and buy loads of interesting materials and some bargain prices.
Having got there, decided what you want and are ready for the off you’ll more than likely be carrying more than what you originally planned to go in for. And now, well now is January and we all know what that means… SALE.

Dunelm is one of those places where you go in not needing anything in particular then find yourself coming out with bag fulls!!!
I visit here frequently if I want to update my house with a few new pieces of furniture or a new flower display. They have a massive craft section with bits and bobs from making your own christmas cards to arranging your own flower display. They have several different sections that cater for both home and garden and you can literally find almost anything you might need for your home.
This Dunelm is a super store so thankfully has a coffee shop. Take advantage of the Latte mid shop… you won’t regret it!
I love Dunelm for buying bedding, although some ranges can be expensive (they stock Kylie Minogues collections), a lot of the ranges are very reasonably priced. That reasonably that I can pick a few sets up even on my student budget.
If you want to find something to spice up your living room like a few unusual cushions or a new vase then you’ll love looking around in this place.

This fab coffee shop can be found on the 2^nd floor of Dunelm mill. Its offer great value for money meals deals starting from £4.49 which includes a drink, toasted sandwich and a cake. There’s a lot of choice with the meal deal and all cakes are included a most hot and cold drinks and sandwiches. great place to go if you want to meet for a lunch with friends.

Excellent service, cheap home items and free parking.
I drive past Dunelm on my way home from work, and often pop in for a coffee in the café and a mooch around the bargains. It’s rare I come home without something in my bag!
Everything is a good price, and well arranged. The only gripe I have is with the escalator up, and the stairs down which bring you back to the entrance instead of to another part of the store.
The fabric department is enormous, and offers a curtain making service.
Lots of parking, it’s free, but there isn’t much else nearby to tempt you in.

This is a welcome addition to Leeds. The soft furnishings in Dunelm are reasonably priced, there’s a good selection and the store is well laid out. For example, all the cushions are organised in colour order, putting similar/​co-​ordinating colours together. There is a good selection of fabrics for curtain making upstairs, which is rare in Leeds!, and they have all you need for any dress making accessories. There is a small wool selection as well. They have a lighting department and a fab kitchen shop upstairs too, which is also good value. There’s also a really good selection of ready made curtains if you’re not creatively inclined.
There’s a nice little café upstairs, with large windows, with a lovely view of the road! At least there’s somewhere to rest and take stock as you go mad with your purchasing.
I took my 1 year old to look at curtain fabric and he was happily occupied, looking at the fabrics and running his sticky fingers along them! There’s also a lift for taking either the buggy or trolley upstairs.

This is the place to go if you want good quality but reasonably priced and different home furnishings.
easy parking but quite close to city centre.
There are two floors with bedding, furniture, picture frames, mirrors, ornaments, a good lighting section, bathroom accessories etc
The café is good too.

Great place for picking up your duvets and that, although I came here to get some green Dylon fabric dye for Steve’s waistcoat (I will be so glad when Halloween is out the way). It was cheap (£4.59) and easy to find (right at the top of the escalator).
The car park’s massive, and there are plenty of tills for busy periods, although only a couple were open when I went.
I didn’t have much time today but next time I need some towels and sheets and stuff I’ll head over rather than trek across to Chiltern Mills up in Crossgates — Dunelm’s much nicer inside too.
Ooh and the till lady smelled nice, like Persil. I like that.
