Get the Oriental look – in your living room

Bring spring's most beautiful look to your home with delicate florals and a gorgeous mix of jade green and pomegranate red

Repeat the theme
A motif sticker – a modern take on stencilling – creates a fabulous focal point above the sofa. Sliding panels at the window are an unfussy treatment that subtly continues the blossom theme, while pomegranate-coloured sisal flooring creates a bold statement, and jade cushions and a throw add fresh accents to the look.
Wall sticker, £35.20, Caselio.

Mix East and West
Combine traditional Oriental-style painted ceramics with sculptural glass vases for an old-meets-new mix.
