Shopfront: Irish company Homestore + More, which opened about three months ago in Tallaght, stocks goods at three price levels: good, better and best. The idea is that apart from furniture, you can get everything for the home under the one roof: bed linen, towels, duvets, pillows, saucepans, electrical appliances, bathroom fittings, china and so on.

For example, alongside a double goose down duvet for €249, you can also get a hollow fibre duvet for €29.95. For a first-time homeowner who wants to fit out their house or apartment quickly, the store is an easy-to-navigate place to get good quality everyday basics.

An 86-piece stainless steel cutlery set costs €89.95 in the sale (down from €169); a weighty five-piece saucepan set is €49.95, a plain white 16-piece dinner service costs €52.95. Most brands stocked , from Dyson to Le Creuset, are well known.
