B&M has become a firm favourite retailer amongst shoppers over the past few years.
Not only is it known for selling items we didn’t know we needed in our lives, but it is also the go-to destination for its bargain price tags on much-loved brands.
For example, you can bag yourself a Beats Pill Portable Bluetooth Speaker x Kim Kardashian, which usually retails for £149, for only £75.
Shoppers have been overjoyed by a recent discovery where they found that B&M have launched a Large Paper Rope Lamp that is a close alternative to that from Dunelm, which costs double the price.

Dunelm’s Kylo Woven String Table Lamp retails for £40 and features an intricate, natural woven paper string base and is finished with a luxe-looking faux linen shade.
B&M’s similar style costs £20 and is remarkably similar in design to its paper rattan frame and linen lampshade. Providing shoppers with a close alternative for half the price.
Whilst there are similarities between the two, there are slight differences in terms of the colour of the woven string, the density of the weaves, and the pattern on the lampshades.
Dunelm’s has a speckled print giving it a more elegant appearance, and the base of the lamps varies. Both are circular; however, Dunelm’s tapers in at the base to give it more of a vase-like aesthetic.
B&M’s comes in with a height of 42.5cm and a diameter of 28cm, whereas Dunelm’s is taller at 52cm and has a diameter of 24cm.
If you’re already a fan of B&M’s affordable option, then you can also bag yourself a Small Paper Rope Lamp for just £12 that will pair perfectly and complement the larger design in your home or office.
Unlike Dunelm’s, which you can get delivered straight to your home, you can find your nearest B&M store via its store locator.
Shoppers haven’t been shy about their love for the Dunelm Kylo version, with one writing: ‘Wow, this lamp is just fabulous! Easy to order and delivery was excellent. Was also really pleased to see that there was no plastic used in the packaging – everything was recyclable.’
Another followed with ‘So pleased with this lamp. The base is beautifully woven and sturdy, and the shade gives off a gorgeous glow. Looks more expensive than it was.’
‘I purchased this lamp to go in my newly decorated kitchen, and I’m thrilled with it. Great quality. Love the natural look,’ said a third.
Better get down to B&M pronto…
