Things that bring joy, from colourful window trims and soft apricot resin tables to mudlarking finds

1 DREAMLIKE FURNITURE

Surround yourself with things that bring you joy! Slightly surreal furniture like these soft apricot resin tables from Rotterdam-based artist Laurids Gallée will have you smitten with their jelly-like surfaces and delicate gridded pattern. Frosted blue and light green versions are also available. lauridsgallee.com

2 BEING SMITTEN WITH RATTAN

We just can’t get enough of cane and rattan designs. Both luxurious and affordable, and with almost every designer and brand tapping into the popularity of the crowd-pleasing materials, we are spoilt for choice. Birdie Fortescue’s new Teras collection of rattan furniture features dining chairs, side tables and headboards all hand-painted in bold colours, designed in Norfolk and made in India. birdiefortescue.co.uk

3 BRIGHT WINDOW TRIMS

Interior designers are using brightly coloured trims to create refined spaces with playful touches. Indian architecture studio @amoeba.design elevates these ornate doors in a mint green contrast.

4 MODERN MUDLARKING

Inspired by blockbusters like The Dig and Ammonite, there has been a renewed interest in the collecting and archiving of found historical objects. Designers like @studio_rua incorporate mudlarking finds like these sparkling ‘Thames Garnets’ from the riverbed into their jewellery collections.

5 BRING YOUR OWN BLANKET

Spending a lot more time in the great outdoors and in friends’ gardens, we’ve suddenly started paying more attention to the cut of our blankets. Design-led styles have become the new must-have accessory, such as this merino wool blanket by Shawanda Corbett for JW Anderson, jwanderson.com
