Our homes should always be a calming, relaxing place to be but sometimes it’s easier said than done! Designate one room as a sanctuary so that you can retreat when the going gets a little tough, and you’ll find it easier to recharge. We love this soft, dreamy shade of blue, which reminds us of seaside shores and gentle summer skies. Add a few accessories to a neutral space to bring a breath of fresh air to tired furnishings and create a serene, relaxing feel. Here are ten of our top picks.

The throw is also reversible and features the same design in inverted colours, so you can choose whichever suits your mood best. £104, available from J J Textile.
