1 THE NEW MOTIF

Illustrated bows are popping up everywhere, as style thinks outside the box

WRAPPED UP

As there’s nothing more glorious than presents topped with a bow, we were delighted to find a way to make this mood last year-long. Commonroom’s bow cushions and ribbons wallpapers play on the idea of gift wrap, a look that feels right in the present but whose sense of fun works in the future, too. And see also Rebecca Udall’s Candy Bow Italian linen place mats – a collab with illustrator Isla Simpson and a smart addition to dinner tables all year.
