I’m trolled over my crushed velvet living room – people say it’s ‘very Home Bargains’ but it’s actually B&M
A MAN has shared a response to trolls who insist his crushed velvet aesthetic is giving major ”Home Bargains” vibes.
Thomas Anthony Clark took to TikTok to hit back at the harsh critics in the best possible way.
According to the home interiors super fan, from the UK, some meanies on social media reckon that the decor in his living room looks like it’s all been purchased from Home Bargains.
The living room, Thomas proudly showed off on the platform, featured a grey crushed velvet sofa, a grey carpet, crushed velvet cushions, as well as a stunning set of grey curtains.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the room the man has placed a white coffee table with sparkly silver detailing on the corners, as well as a stunning silver vase with flowers nearby.
The spacious living room also boasted a massive mirror on one of the walls, with a TV right underneath it, as well as a sparkly table lamp in the corner.
However, whilst Thomas and his fans may be in love with it – with some even describing the room as ”stunning” – the crushed velvet aesthetic was not everyone’s cup of tea.
”Eww brother, eww crushed velvet,” is how one troll felt about the home interior.
Another chuckled: ”You need a Live Laugh Love plank on the wall!”
A third chimed in: ”I’ve not [seen] since crushed velvet since 2010, that’s vintage.”
”What in the live laugh love is this?” someone else wondered.
Luckily for Thomas, who regularly shares cleaning-related content on his page, there was also heaps of support, as dozens raced to hit back at the trolls.
One kind-hearted person said: ”Why dose it matter if it’s Primark home, home’s clean and looked after, that’s all that matters, actually looks really inviting.”
Another fan of the look added: ”Say what you want about people that go for this style, but their homes are always sparkling clean and smell bangin’.”
”This home is gorgeous, wish it was mine!
”Well done sir,” a third wrote.
The 5 steps to always take to bag a bargain at B&M
Matt Konopielko from Wrexham shared his wisdom with the members of B&M Scanner and Other Bargains on Facebook.
- Check the barcodes. Sometimes the same product might have different barcodes. To ensure you get the best deal, he said it’s best to check all of them, and you can do this easily with the B&M scanner app.
- Play the waiting game. If a product already been reduced, Matt has said that if is not sold in few weeks, it will likely be reduced again soon.
- Check for white stickers. This means they will have a certain amount slashed off the price shown on the label. However, if the new price of the white sticker doesn’t show up on your B&M scanner app, or you don’t already have the app, you’ll have to do a bit of maths to figure out the new price of the item you’re after.
- Don’t ignore the error message. Matt explained that if you get an “error item not found” message come up on your scanner app, the product will usually be one set discount price as a result. This will usually mean it’s just 10p, but there is the chance that this will vary on certain items.
- Shop out of season. He said the best time to look for gardening products is in September, and Christmas goodies will be discounted the most in January.
After being brutally slammed for his living room, which some insisted was giving major ”Home Bargains” vibes, Thomas, too, posted a response.
”I’ve got a bloody shock for you, hun – because it is actually all B&M,” he chuckled in the video.
He later added: ”I just thought it was the best clap back […], I certainly wasn’t embarrassed.”
Heading to Home Bargains this weekend? There are plenty of goodies shoppers have been loving, such as a ‘‘gorgeous’’ sell-out garden must-have that’s back in stock.
Green-fingered Brits have also been raving about a £3.99 buy that will revamp your old fence in no time.
