Thanks to Netflix’s Bridgerton effect and a surge in Regency-era decor, delicate posy prints are all the rage – and this darling design from Liberty’s archives is said to date back to circa 1865. Featuring tiny rose buds, floral sprigs and bluebells against a powder-blue background, it’s a fetching window dressing.

Another feel-good factor, scent surrounding with the aromas of pressed blooms and earthy, woody patchouli is not only a joy to the senses but also, these blush pink candles look as good as they smell. An added bonus, the flame crackles as it burns.
