You know what it’s like when you’re shopping for furniture. You think you’ve found the best option out there, only to click onto another page and find five more contenders.

Then you click on to Instagram or Pinterest, and lo and behold: another thirty ads showing you another iteration of what you’ve been looking for. Thanks, cookies!

If you’re anything like me, plagued by decision paralysis, it takes months of open tabs, waiting for sales, and constant side-by-side comparison to actually make a purchase.

That’s speaking as someone who does a lot of shopping (it’s kinda in the job description) and even then, if I can do anything to make the process of furniture shopping easier, that is as big a blessing as I can ask for.

Pinterest has been my saving grace up until now: I love making boards of what I want my space to look like and using its shopping feature to find products.

But even that is flawed: often, the pieces I fall for aren’t even available to ship to the UK, or they come from some dodgy website I’m not willing to risk losing my money to.

So when I came across ShopHomeStyles, I was completely smitten.

Instead of having to guess what keywords would best describe the armchair I’m currently looking for in my room (I’m not exactly an interiors expert) the platform allows you to upload your inspo photos.

Sourcing from over 100 furniture and homeware brands like M&S, OKA, and Soho Home, the platform then matches the closest products to your inspo or keyword search in seconds.

So you don’t have to keep millions of tabs open, you can like the products you’re into and organise them into collections, making it easy to come back to them later.

Plus, if you’re not sure what style tickles your fancy, the website has its own inspiration page and breaks furniture and decor into easy to browse categories, so you can browse trends and shop by item, or look at what’s new in at your favourite stores, too.

Basically, if you want anything new for your house and want to save on scrolling through the sometimes hundreds of pages on every furniture site you come by, ShopHomeStyles seriously whittles your options down based on what you like.

The result? Less wasted time scrolling, and a place to curate your own design style for your home.

If I had known about this platform sooner, it could have saved me oodles of time. That armchair I’ve been looking for has been the subject of probably a years’ worth of Pinterest searches.

You see, I’m after a very specific retro Scandi-inspired shape, preferably in pink, red, or baby blue.

At the time of writing this, I have 167 tabs open on Safari on my phone, with various iterations of said chair.

But after simply uploading some Pinterest inspo photos to ShopHomeStyles, there’s one clear contender for my purchase: this Juno armchair from Graham and Green.

Don’t get me wrong, the price tag is definitely something to work towards. But at least now I can live in peace not having to go back and forth between this option and that.

I’m also shopping for a side table and magazine rack, so I’ve started building a separate collection to find the perfect ones.

While I’m sure I’ll spend as much time deliberating about what to go for in the end, at least my final decision will be based off results from 11 pages on ShopHomeStyle, rather than hundreds, or even thousands.

Honestly, all I can say is: phew.
