SOFT SANCTUARY
Including curved lines, no matter how pared back, gives a nod to the arches trend without needing to shout about it. Accessorizing through cushions with raised motifs will appeal to the more pattern-averse.
Duvet cover set, from £13; Arc tufted cushions, from £8; white textured and black round vases, both £12, and white tortoise glass sphere table lamp, £28, all George Home
