Some people are a bit snobby when it comes to cheap furniture. But the amount spent on stuff isn't really the most important thing - it's how it looks and how long you want it to last.
Some pieces might cost literally thousands and be worth every penny, especially if it's a durable handed down through the generations type of item like a dining room table or a sideboard. But items like that are few in the modern house.
I think the thing is to be yourself and to strike a balance between the ephemeral and the not so ephemeral. I say there's nothing wrong with putting a £5 lamp onto a £650 table.
With so much choice these days though, it's a wonder we don't get bored of anything after a few weeks. If I was a designer I think I'd be working on pieces of furniture that change by themselves. Hmm, maybe not designer then, but scientist? It's only a matter of time...
