A lesser-known Danish brand is also impressing money-savvy shoppers, with many sharing their budget yet stylish finds on .
Jysk, pronounced ‘yusk’, is an international home furnishing retailer, which some have been hailing as “giving but on trend.”
Some of the items in the store are as low as 75p, making it perfect for people watching their spending.
Currently there are over 3,600 stores worldwide, with items sold in 50 countries online.
In the UK, you can find Jysk in cities such as Coventry, Leeds, Stockport, Derby, or Bolton, and the brand is hoping to have 100 stores nationwide by 2027.
While there aren’t any yet in the south of England, you can order many items online.
Jysk first opened in 1979 in Denmark by Lars Larsen, and the company is still owned by the Lars Larsen Group today.
One shopper who recommended the store was estate agent Ellie, 23, who visited after purchasing her first home.
On her @elliemoss022 account, she wrote: “PSA to the girlies buying your first home, run to Jysk.
“The prices are insane, they literally sell everything you could imagine, plus so much furniture.

“I fear everyone needs to go.”
In her clip, Ellie was amazed to find 75p photoframes, £8.50 cushions, £3 throws and two tumblers for £4.50.
Meanwhile, if you are looking for larger house items, the Jysk website has £165 sofas, and four-chair dining sets from £100.
TikTok user Megan Ratcliffe hailed Jysk as a “mini Ikea”, and found an electric stand-up desk for £85 and a dining room table for £90.
Many users have rushed to comment, with one saying: “I am honestly obsessed with it my house is 75 per cent JYSK.”
Another added: “They deliver btw, looking online rn.”
Meanwhile one said: “Cries in South West England.”
