This weekend I found these geat mugs at IKEA. A set of two mugs (MARÄNG) comes with wooden coasters and spoons and costs €5.95/$7.99. Isn’t that a great steal?!

Are you looking for pillows that not only look great, but are affordable as well? Then you should definitely check out Heidi Panelli’s website ModPillows! Heidi is an illustrator and graphic designer from Minnesota, USA, who created ModPillows because she wanted an online decorative pillow store that was cool and affordable. Heidi: “Throw pillows are an accessory that can pull together a room, but you should be able to afford to change them once in a while. It’s my interest in modern, contemporary, and cutting edge interior design, prints and patterns that will keep this store growing and changing. I love watching new trends emerge, grow and change”.

The pillows are $19.95 each. Heidi is kind enough to give the style files readers a discount. You can save $5 if you spend $20 or more, by using coupon code BEAUSBOUNTY (expires on Jan 23, 2007). Click here to browse through Heid’s great sellection of pillows. Thanks Heidi!

I love shopping at Etsy. One of my favourites shops is the one from Joom. This designer and artist from the San Francisco Bay area makes some gorgeous pillows. All designs are handmade and, costing $23, I think they are very affordable. Check out Joom’s shop at Etsy. She makes some beautiful cards as well.

A new feature on the style files is the Steal of the Week. Every week I will post a great, affordable find. Design does not have to be expensive. In my house I have mixed ‘cheap’ with ‘chic’. Dutch design objects are combined with for instance IKEA accessories and furniture. Not only is decorating more affordable this way but mixing cheap with chic also gives my home a more unique character.

Do you know a great deal? Have you been bargain hunting recently? Let me know and share it with the rest of us. We all love great deals!

The first steal are these gorgeous duvet covers by Atelier LZC. The French design label, a trio of three young and inventive designers, decorate everything they touch with stunning motifs inspired by the world of nature. Their sketches of birds, butterflies and leaf motifs, bright and vibrant silhouettes, adorn pieces of home ware and fabrics transforming them into irresistible works of art. For French online & catalogue shop La Redoute they designed a special collection of bedlinen and home accessories.

The gorgeous designs are now on sale, with discounts between 30 – 50%. For instance, the price of a duvet cover (for 2 people) is now 48 euro. Check out the La Redoute website to see all the other Atelier LZC deals. The collection is available in a number of countries, among others France and the UK.
