ith Christmas fast approaching, now’s the time to ensure your place is ready to entertain this festive season.

Here’s our pick of 10 must-have pieces to spruce up your home and imbue it with cosy charm this winter.

Nothing says “party time” like a statement sofa – and this one combines striking red-wine toned velvet with comfortable seating. Save 37 per cent (£489.01) on this pre-loved item, which normally sells for £1,299, when you buy via the eBay Home Outlet site.

Party-goers will happily pour themselves into this attention-grabbing chair: all brooding navy velvet and wide, sprawling silhouette. Cushions keep things comfy while keeping a retro aesthetic. Pick it up for 45 per cent (£294.01) off the retail price when you buy it “pre-loved” (but in very good condition).

Greet guests with the slender, modern curves of this striking console table. A contemporary, evocative design is complemented by a solid iron frame. Bag a bargain and buy it for 29 per cent off (£58.01) the retail price.

This La-Z-Boy pouffe doubles up as a nifty storage solution, with a top that opens on hinges to allow you to tuck away any bits and pieces lying around ahead of inviting people over.

Infuse your home with luxury ski lodges vibe with this sheepskin rug – and snuggle in this Christmas, safe in the knowledge that you’ve snagged a good deal. This pre-loved item, in “very good” condition, comes with 30 per cent (£105.01) off. Just add fondue and friends.

Pile into the dining room for a festive feast with these dining chairs in beech and elm. And when friends have cleared out, they feature a nifty design that allows them to be stacked vertically and tucked out of the way.

Wondering where to fan out your “stocking filler” magazines and other Christmas reading materials? Look no further than this set of two supremely elegant coffee tables, wrought in timber, brass and marble, with simple shapes that make an impact. And you can save 29 per cent (£119.01), too.

Forget snaring someone under the mistletoe this Christmas – just ask them to cosy up on a loveseat instead. This sophisticated version comes in black oak, adding a stylish oomph to any room, and can be bagged for £279 off the recommended retail price.

When the guests have gone, it’s clean-up time: and that’s when it’s this cordless floor cleaner’s time to shine. With a telescopic extension tube and powerful detergent jet spray, it’s ideal for wood or hard floor surfaces; and it comes with a 54 per cent (£82.10) discount.

After Christmas festivities wind down of an evening, there’s nothing like hitting the sack – provided you’ve invested in a quality place to lay your head. Professionally refurbished by Simba, this popular mattress has been inspected, cleaned and repaired to meet manufacturer specifications and is in perfect condition – it even comes with a one-year warranty. Hypoallergenic and temperature controlled, it also features an Air Flow Sleep Surface, Antibacterial Cover and Edge to Edge Support.
