Keep things soft with delicate florals and nature-inspired motifs.
1 Sofa so good
The Laurent sofa from Oficina Inglesa is a play in contrasts – a creamy-white backdrop is offset with pops of green, while the modern-looking patterns are coupled with ultra-classic styling, in the form of decorative buttons and bulbous wooden legs.
