1 JUST DESERTS

Justina Blakeney Eartha Terracotta rug, from £119, Ruggable Style idea Make some tassels from leftover yarn to add Seventies style in a flash

Feel the warmth of Santa Fe style by adding sun-drenched, earth colours to your scheme. Think shades of terracotta, ochre and sienna.

Add freshness with pops of rich green, and accessorise with houseplants for a balanced look.

2 HEAVY PETALS

Broste Copenhagen Herman tea towel, £24; Broste Copenhagen Nordic Bistro tableware, from £10.50; Broste Copenhagen Marstal cutlery, £69 for an 8-piece set; Broste Copenhagen Konus cocktail glasses, £25 each, all Nordic Nest

Make the most of the abundance of flowers at this time of year and bring a little joy to the everyday, by picking up cheap, supermarket bunches and placing them in areas you spend a lot of time in – like near the sink when you do the washing up!

3 DRESS FOR DINNER

Highgate 350ml goblet, £35.90 for 4; Amalfi porcelain china dinnerware, £140.53 for an 18-piece set; Argon Tableware round woven seagrass placemat, £15 for 6; 23cm Gold candleholder, £18.99, all Wayfair

Create a sense of occasion by styling up a tablescape which you can enjoy, even when you have no dinner plans! A neatly set table adds a sense of theatre to a space and it’s a great way to bring in low-commitment colours and patterns. You can try out ideas here before adding them to the scheme long-term.

4 BEAUTY SLEEP

Joules Thornton stripe double bedframe, from £1,149, storage ottoman, £499; Dwell Kyle lamp table, £149, all DFS

Layer up bedding to get a luxury look without having to splurge on a full set. Choose a pair of fancy pillowcases which you can use to mix and match with budget-friendly options. You’ll get a designer feel at a fraction of the price.

5 LIVEN UP SALAD DAYS

Cabbage serving bowl in Green, £12.50, M&S
Vine Tomato classic tin candle, £10.70, Pintail Candles
Farmstand pea pod salt and pepper shakers, £22, Anthropologie

Show off your good taste with vegetable-themed pieces. These leafy lovelies add a touch of fun to mealtimes. If you can’t get on board with the ceramics trend – or want to take it to the next level – try vegetable-scented candles!
