Start with Poppy - a sharp-looking but deeply comfortable fibre-filled family sofa - in jewel-bright Dragon Eye Velvet Touch Fabric. Put her at the centre of attention, basking in the framing light of a large window - all the better for a place to read or simply sit and gather your thoughts with your morning cup of tea.

Keep the foundations of your lounge relatively neutral - a simple framed coffee table mirroring Poppy’s clean lines, the slim-armed contemporary George chair in calming Elephant Trunk - and let small bursts of colour do the talking. A bright pink lamp will cast a lovely glow, the colour echoed by fun accent cushions and a throw laid casually across our low Harrison round footstool in Pistachio Dust. Potted plants are the perfect finishing touch.
