For instance, the pouf, cushion and throw designed by Jean Paul Gaultier for Roche Bobois form a fun range to work with. Known for his shocking designs, his vision of a home is no less eccentric. Its prints boast an unlikely mix of florals and flames on rich textures. A reliable item that can transform your space in no time is an area rug. The one from Pottery Barn offers a funky touch and sticks to the popular stripe trend as well. Accent pillows around the house are a winning style. We at WTM love the range from Versace. The florals cushions from @home are perfect for the subtle hints of coral. You could also bring in the flirtatious tone into the dining room. The stark red crockery set from Zara Home is a must-have as they are balanced with a more soothing shade of white. They’ve also got some interesting frames, perfect to deck up the mantel piece. BoConcept proves it isn’t colourshy with its range of sofas. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, but we’re most fascinated by their contemporary leather range.

It is about making your abode a part of you. Putting up a single piece of art can make a statement. Don’t worry if it does not mesh with the rest of the space. The rule is: your place, your style. All that’s important is that you are confident about the painting or wall hanging. Good art can’t look wrong anywhere. For the month of romance, this hint of pop art from Paul Smith is perfect.
