Amazon Prime Day 2020 – the best deals, when it's happening and all you need to know

You know we can’t resist a good deal here at Ideal Home. So we always get excited at the prospect of Amazon Prime Day.

Usually held in mid July, it’s a chance for Amazon Prime customers to take advantage of exclusive and generous money-off deals on Amazon products and other big brands. However, the huge impact of Coronavirus and the demands it has put on online shopping and delivery has led to a Prime Day delay in 2020.

Get the lowdown on the best products to pop on your wish list with our buying guides

However we now have an official date and the promise of plenty of bargains.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2020?

Amazon Prime Day 2020 starts on Tuesday 13th October 2020 at 12am and runs until the end of the day on Wednesday 14th October 2020.

Is Amazon Prime Day better than Black Friday?

Amazon tends to offer similar discounts on Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day. Also, on Prime Day, it’s been known for retailers such as John Lewis to ‘price match’ Amazon Prime Day deals.

However, since Black Friday covers many retailers – not just Amazon, there will be a wider choice of bargains on offer on Black Friday.

There is a very good reason to chop on Amazon Prime Day, however.

With leading experts warning that we should stagger our Christmas shopping this year. It may make sense NOT to wait for Black Friday, but rather take advantage of Black Friday bargains first.

Speaking to the BBC, Andy Mulcahy from IMRG, the industry body for online retailers, explains. ‘We think the volumes are going to be really very excessive this year. Whilst that in itself is not a problem, getting too much of it too close to Christmas is going to be a bit of a problem.’

‘If you can spread out your shopping and do quite a lot of it in November, maybe even a bit of it now, then that would really help.’

How do I access Amazon Prime Day deals?

To get your mitts on the deals come Prime Day, you’ll need to sign up for an Amazon Prime account. Monthly membership at a costs £7.99, but you can sign up for a 30-day free trial and see how you get on. This can be cancelled at any time.

Prime gives you access to lots of extra services, including a subscription to Prime Instant Video, where you can watch exclusive series like The Crown, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and The Boys.

You’ll also get free next-day delivery, so you can enjoy your bargains straightaway. Because who wants to wait around for their goodies to arrive?

Sign up: Amazon Prime 30-day free trial

Top tip: If someone in your household already has Amazon Prime, you can now be added to their account and enjoy the same benefits. Kids can be added, too.

What is a Lightning deal?

Lightning Deals are what Amazon Prime Day is all about. An item will go on sale at a discount for a limited time (usually for a few hours, max) or until a certain number have been sold.

On any Lightning deal, you’ll see a timer counting down how long you have to claim the deal, and a percentage bar that shows how many of that particular item have already been purchased or are in a customer’s basket.

When stocks are really low, you might be added to a Waitlist. This means that if a shopper has the item in their basket but doesn’t go through to checkout, you might still have a chance to grab it. You’ll need to be quick though!

Tips for buying the right thing on Amazon Prime Day

1. Write a list

Before you start shopping for tech, write a list of what you actually want, and stick to it! It’s all to easy to be distracted by – and waste money on – reduced-price gadgets that, in reality, you’ll barely ever use.

2. Do your research

‘Wow – a 4K, 46inch TV reduced to £80! I’ve not heard of the brand but surely I’d be MAD not to buy it?!’

OK, so maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but you should always ask yourself why the item is so cheap. If the picture or sound quality of that £80 TV is so poor it’s unwatchable, you’ll only have to replace it with something more expensive down the line, and all the while you could have missed out on a really good deal on a really good set.

So whether you’re in the market for a TV or a blender, read reviews beforehand and jot down the names or numbers of the models that most impress you, along with their average pre-Amazon Prime Day prices or RRPs. That way, when you come to shop, you’ll know that you’re getting a great product and genuine deal.

3. Use the Amazon app’s Watch-a-Deal feature

Download the Amazon app and you can also take advantage of the ‘Watch-A-Deal’ feature. This sends an alert whenever an item you want goes on offer. To get alerted when your deals start, open the app, go to the menu and select Settings, then tap Notifications. Turn on Watched and Waitlisted deals.

Next, go into Today’s Deals and add any Upcoming Deals that you’re interested in to your Waitlist. Now as soon as a deal starts, a notification will pop up on your phone screen, so you don’t miss it.

Good luck, and remember – it’s only a bargain if you really need it!

Our favourite Amazon Prime Day 2019 UK deals

1. HISENSE H50B7100UK 50-Inch 4K UHD HDR Smart TV with Freeview Play

You had to be quick to snap up the amazing Lightning Deal on this 50-inch HiSense TV. HiSense is a Chinese brand that we know and trust here on Ideal Home, and we’re particular fans of their TVs. This particular model offers a lot of bang for your buck – including built-in Freeview Play so you can start watching straight out of the box.

Lats year, it was available with 35 per cent off, reduced from £449 to an Amazon Prime Day price of £294.

2. Bosch PSB 1800 LI-2 Cordless Combi Drill with Two 18 V Lithium-Ion Batteries

Has a lack of drill made all those lockdown DIY tasks even more of a chore? Fear not, because there’s usually a brilliant deal to be had on Amazon Prime Day.

With 52 per cent off, this Bosch drill was a not-to-be-missed bargain. It was slashed in price from £104.99 to an Amazon Prime Day price of £49.99

3. Miele Complete C2 Powerline bagged vacuum cleaner

We often see Miele vacuum cleaners discounted on Prime Day, so we were pleased to see the C2 on sale. This corded Miele vacuum cleaner is a top performer, and just brilliant at picking up dirt.

If the price hasn’t won you over, perhaps the fact that this model has been tested for use for 20 years might. With an RRP of £190, its Prime Day price was £124, so you really were making a great saving – 35 per cent to be exact.

4. Apple iPhone 8

It’s not common to see SIM-free iPhones massively reduced, so we were surprised and delighted to see this deal pop up last year. You could have chosen from 64GB, 128GB or 256GB of storage – the 256Gb phone was on sale from £599.20 (down from £749), a saving of £150.

We’ll be updating this page with all the latest deals of the day, as soon as we hear about them. So make sure you bookmark us, and happy bargain hunting!

A Guide To Vegan Wine

When switching to a plant-based lifestyle, most of us don’t look towards our wine racks. After all, wine is made from grapes – so you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a meat-free zone. But unfortunately, that’s not the case.

Many wine producers use animal-derived products to act as a filter for organic particles that may be detrimental to its flavour, texture or appearance. This could be anything from gelatine to fish oil to egg whites, and although the agents are removed after fining, tiny traces can be absorbed during the process.

Unsplash

Yet as veganism continues to gain traction, more and more winemakers are choosing plant-based fining alternatives, such as clay and silica gel. This means the vegan wine world is better than ever – but there are a couple of things to note. Firstly, organic wines aren’t necessarily vegan; organic just means it has been made without the use of chemical fertilisers (more on sustainable wine here). And secondly, wine labels aren’t actually required to say whether they’ve used animal products or not.

Saying that, wine stores and supermarkets have got a lot better at sourcing and labelling vegan wines in recent years. Look out for the term ‘Unfined’ or ‘Unfiltered’ – this means the wine was made without the use of fining agents, and is therefore vegan. There’s also a great website called Barnivore, which is essentially a vegan booze directory. But if you’re looking for the easiest way to find the best vegan wine, look no further. We’ve pulled together a selection of the best bottles around, from red to white and everything in between.

Paint trends 2021 – the colours setting the tone in our homes for the year ahead

The colours we thoughtfully select for our walls plays an important role, serving as the backdrop to how we live within our homes. More than purely decorative, colour is emotive and can enhance how we feel about our personal spaces.

A simple paint shade can have an immense affect on our emotions, happiness and well-being. Getting the colour scheme right has never been more key for creating a contented happy home.

  Speaking of trends: The key lighting trends for autumn – to illuminate the darker months ahead

Our homes are our own personal sanctuary, a space where we want to feel safe, comforted and – above all else – happy. And that has never been more important than right now, as we spend more time at home than ever before. So which colours should we be looking to for 2021, to provide a the right tone for the landscape ahead

Paint trends 2021 – influential colours to watch

1. Restorative new neutrals

Image credit: Little Greene

There’s been a resurgence in recent years of more milky and almond toned neutrals, as opposed to the colder tones feature on the grey scale.

‘I see 2021 as being a year of creating cocooning, cosy spaces, there will be a shift away from the cooler greys, and warm neutrals such as ‘Oak Apple’, ‘Mushroom’ and ‘Bath Stone’ will become the go-to tones,’ explains Ruth Mottershead, Creative Director Little Greene.

‘These colours are perfect for creating restful living spaces that bring a sense of comfort to the home. These more neutral tones work fantastically as a base from which to introduce a colour highlight on the skirting boards or a door.

2. Calm inducing grounded tones

Image credit: Brave Ground by Dulux

Revealed as Dulux’s Colour of the Year 2021, Brave Ground has been carefully selected to neutralise our homes in 2021.

This earthy shade aims to create a safe space in which we can take comfort from the changing world outside. The paint experts at Dulux have identified the warm and grounding neutral shade as ‘the colour that will enable people to draw upon the strength of nature to help them find the courage to embrace the future.’

Image credit: Valspar

Valspar shade ‘Brown Bunny’ is set to be a key trend for 2021, giving a premium and luxury feel to interiors. This warm and earthy shade is perfect for creating a chic and contemporary scheme with homes for the year ahead. The delicately light brown matches perfectly with sleek modern furnishings, gold fixtures and green accessories to achieve a sophisticated elegance.

‘We’re constantly battling being busy in all aspects of life and more and more we’re seeking respite from stress with products, tools and services that balance our fast-paced lifestyles’ Sue Kim, Valspar’s Senior Design Expert.  ‘Creating a welcoming interior to come home to will reduce feelings of anxiety to allow you to really enjoy the space you’re in. Neutral tones such as ‘Brown Bunny’ are restful, yet stimulating and help to create a clean and balanced design. Chalky whites also blend quietly with these colours so you are left with a calming interior that will rejuvenate your mind after a busy day.’

3. Lush landscapes of serene green

Image credit: Dominic Blackmore

Is green the new grey? It’s everywhere in interiors right now. It’s synonymous with nature and calming qualities, which could explain it’s popularity for creating a contented home.

‘Green is quite simply luscious in the truest sense of the word’ exclaims David Mottershead, MD of Little Greene. ’From velvety dark greens to the light and uplifting tones, greens can be used all over the home and have a powerful, restorative quality. Used in home offices, green shades aid contemplation and deep thought.

Use your walls like a landscape of surrounding fields. Whether you live in the country or aspire to call it home, painting walls in lush green is a step closer to feeling at one with nature. All of the paint experts are in agreement that are homes will be embracing green more than ever next year.

Image credit: Green Smoke No.47 by Farrow & Ball

‘Bringing the elements of the natural world into our interiors encourages personal growth as well as evoking a feeling of calm’ explains Farrow & Ball’s colour curator Joa Studholme. ‘All greens reinforce our connection to nature and create the perfect welcoming start to the journey through your home’.

Green is a particularly popular choice to breath new life into living rooms and create a feeling of tranquility in bedrooms.

4. Backdrops of beige

Image credit: Crocky Road by Earthborn

It’s been noted that the new neutrals are harking back to beiges of days gone by. Remember ‘Natural Hessian’ and ‘Calico’ of the 2000s? They are back but with new names and shades, as we welcome neutrals with a warmer undertone to that of greys.

Perfectly timed for the rise of the new neutrals is a new shade at Earthborn. Launched as part of new ‘Earth Collection’, Crocky Road is predicted to be one of the most coveted tones of 2021.
‘Our brand-new colour Crocky Road is set to be a hugely popular shade in interiors next year’ says Cathryn Helsby, Head of Creative Marketing, Earthborn. ‘This natural, cool beige with a faint green undertone carries a calming, easy- going, earthy quality. A perfect colour to live with in both a modern and traditional home, and wonderful to pair with pops of bright accessories.’

A neutral wall colour can go a long way to creating a soft and warming interior space. A strong neutral provides the perfect backdrop to compliment trendy darker hues or statement furniture pieces.

5. Notes of delicious Olive green

Image credit: Bancha by Farrow & Ball

Our style team have been noting the abundance of Olive green springing up in new season trend collections. And here are what the experts say on the shade…

‘In the bedroom olive green can help to create a serene environment,’ says Charlotte Cosby, head of creative at Farrow & Ball. ‘lt’s also suited to rooms that overlook nature. The colours from the great outdoors will further enhance the green tones of the walls and create a relaxing outdoor feel in your home.’

Image credit: Future plc

‘Paler olive has a grey undertone, so works naturally with soft greys – a combination that’s extremely calming and peaceful,’ says Judy Smith, consultant at Crown. ‘With this look, keep to a tonal palette and paint woodwork the same colour as the walls to give a harmonious feel.’

‘Olive green is a great colour for east-facing rooms,’ says Cathryn Helsby, marketing manager and colour expert at Earthborn. ‘These spaces often have green/blue undertones and it’s best to play to this. Similarly, olive would also work well in north-facing rooms: instead of competing with the lack of light, we recommend embracing it.’

6. Warming reds and mulberry tones

Image credit: Little Greene

In times of uncertainty, such as now,  we often crave warmer tones that will enrich our homes and create a cocooning sanctuaries to shut ourselves away. Moving away from charcoal greys and navy blues, with a colder outlook, 2021 steers towards the warmer tones of reds and plum. These rich saturated hues are effortlessly chic by day and cosy by night, welcoming a grounded but luxurious atmosphere to any room.

‘Bold yet natural pairings are also on trend, with strong greens being paired with striking tones such as ‘Chocolate Colour’, or rich ‘Baked Cherry’ in combination with ‘Invisible Green’ to create dramatic yet intimate and inviting interiors’ explains Ruth Mottershead, Creative Director Little Greene.

Image credit: Epoch by Graham & Brown

The richness of the Graham & Brown’s Colour of the Year 2021 – Epoch is just the thing. This emotive shade directional shade of plum, has us wanting to hunker down for the winter months – sat by candlelight and wrapped in warming layers. Which is just what the design team had visions of, describing it as, ‘A calming, cocooning tone, Epoch echoes a wider interiors trends which looks to create restful spaces for healthier, happier homes’.

7. Cleaner shades of blues

Image credit: Stiffkey Blue by Farrow & Ball

Another calming colour that pays homage to the natural world is blue. Always a popular choice for decorating, this watery marine shade helps to add a serenity to any room. But how is this hue changing for our tastes in 2021?  ‘The blues best suited to anchoring our homes in 2021 are cleaner tones like lively Pitch Blue, fresh Ultra Marine Blue, and the darker, inkier Stiffkey Blue’ Farrow & Ball’s colour curator Joa Studholme. ‘These uncomplicated shades feel familiar, like memories from our childhood, so have a soothing effect in the home despite their cooler undertones.’

8. Naturally perfect pigments

Image credit: Cushion Craze and Powdered Clay by Crown

Present in the global trends last summer, it’s set to be ever more present in the coming seasons. We are of course talking about the use of earthy tones. Pinterest revealed searches for ‘terracotta walls’ increased by 86 per cent, year on year, in the UK in 2020. This rich, warm shades sits in a colour palette of plaster pink, burnt orange, spiced ochre and charcoal black – all pigments drawn from natural materials.

Crown have called this the ‘Naturally Perfect’ trend. For which Justyna Korczynska, from the Crown Design Studio, says, ‘The ultimate goal is to achieve a flawless, yet natural look. Makeup gives us confidence and makes us feel better about ourselves. Naturally Perfect presents beauty tips for interior design using a warm colour palette of powders and blushers.’

 9. Expressive accents

Image credit: Paint & Paper Library

While many of the trends are paired-down, there’s one such trend that is ready to shout! That is the expressive trend, where colour is made to stand out. Used as accents this trend sees braver colours adding vitality and a punch of personality to our homes.

‘I feel colour trends will move into deeper richer tones. With burnt oranges, deep yellows and warm browns such as ‘Muga’ and ‘Rufus’ both as accents and statement tones. Alongside the ever-popular deep greens and blues of colours such as ‘Teal’, ‘Plimsoll’ and ‘Blue Blood’’ explains Andy Greenall, Head of Design, Paint & Paper Library.

‘As well as a renewed focus on rich warm colours, I feel 2021 will see consumers focus on the power of finish. And the effect it has on the use of colour. I think finishes will be used in surprising situations to add to the atmosphere of a design scheme. From velvety soft, chalky matt finishes to high sheen dramatic gloss on walls and woodwork – finish will become as important as colour.’

Cozy living kitchen

I think a separate dining room is quit the luxury these days, unless you live in a house with lots of space. To save space, it’s a great solution to combine the kitchen, dining and living room. The layout can be designed in a way that allows for all three areas to harmoniously work together.

Take this beautiful Swedish kitchen for example, where the kitchen island is also the division between the living room and kitchen. The kitchen itself has been built against the wall without any windows, leaving the prime spot for the dining table, which is bathing in sunlight. The sofa is facing the kitchen, which seems perfect for when you are entertaining guests, doesn’t it ?
