Looking for elegant furniture similar to "French Bedroom Company" but not that pricey

Hi everyone
I'm planning on redecorating my room ASAP because I'm tired and fed up! I am in love with timeless elegant white furniture such as this: http://www.frenchbedroomcompany.co.uk/store/search/?keywords=delphine but I really can't pay so much money (e.g. £700 for a dressing table). Can anyone think of any other companies in London or the UK, which sells furniture similar to this, but isn't as pricey? I would prefer if the company has a website and does deliveries because I don't drive.
I'm specifically looking for swirly-looking cream/white/ivory furniture (I really don't like angular furniture)

Extra reading for anyone who has the time:
My bedroom is a blank canvas because I have a built-in wardrobe from the 70s, and it's still in very good condition. Other than that, every piece of furniture in my room has a style of its own, and for once, I really want to spend money on myself so that I enjoy being in my room.
Thank you for your time and reading my post...

Dunelm Mill sometimes have 'shabby chic' pieces like this in.

Also, how crafty are you? It might be worth it if you scour eBay/Gumtree for some cheap furniture and up cycle them yourself?

Everyone and their dog now take old pieces and turn them shabby chic, just look on ebay in your area, there will probably be a fair bit. You could even pop over to the old style board on here and look at how to do it yourself if you can find the right pieces of furniture to start with https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2733101
It's one of those styles that never goes completely out of fashion and there is always a certain call for it.0
