WELCOME TO NATURE

BREATH OF FRESH AIR

There's nothing like the great outdoors to stimulate the mind and boost creativity, so bring your home office as close to it as you can. If you're blessed with a workroom that leads onto your garden or balcony, blur the boundaries between inside and out by scattering pot plants all over for a jungle feel.

Vibes pink round pot, from £8.99; Alder wall canvas, from £32.99, women's head icon, £34.99; Adyan glass vase, £34.99; Jonas black lantern, £22.99; blue and white stripe basket, £14.99; Dhadit throw £29.99, all Dobbies

EMBRACE THE POWER OF PATTERN

You can't go wrong with a larger-than-life floral pattern. A celebration of nature itself, this bold wallpaper brings all the leafy greens and vibrant flowers, without any pressure to keep the plants alive. It's the perfect feature wall to bring some laid-back fun to any room.

Passiflora wallpaper, £217 for a three-drop roll, Lime Lace
