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.

2 Landscape in portrait

This dreamy watercolour painting by Mari Urasawa captures the sky and clouds in washes of pink, green, violet and grey. The painting is reproduced in a giclée print, which is signed by the artist and available with a matte-white pine frame.

4 Pile them high

A subtle floral design is set against a duck-egg-blue background in this piece from The Rug Seller. With a pile height of 12.5 millimetres, the rug is made from 100 per cent heat-set polypropylene, which is soft to the touch, durable and stain-resistant.
