What to buy for your house this February, according to our decoration team

February's objects of desire, brought to you by House & Garden's decoration team. This month, Elena Smintina shows us what has caught her eye

House & Garden's Elena Smintina rounds up the most beautiful things to shop this January, from a charming printed ottoman to a smart nutcracker. Whether you're looking for a new sofa or a cabinet that is both beautiful and practical, a scroll through our gallery will offer inspiration in abundance.

A beautiful floral fabric in the blurred 'ikat' style (from Pierre Frey) sets the colour palette for this scheme: gold and teal with a touch of raspberry. Accessories with gentle, glamorous curves complete the look, including a brass and oak tray from Rowen & Wren.

This is an earthy scheme grounded by the natural tones of walnut, sisal and glossy brown glazes. A certain 'stubbiness' of aesthetic is present both in this shearling chair and the sideboard. You can choose to elevate an otherwise earthy look by introducing items with a sense of ceremony: like this walnut and brass nutcracker or these small, fluted cups and saucers.

A colour scheme of black and silver is a guaranteed gateway drug to gothic glamour; and leaning into motifs of bows, loops and drapes gives a sophisticated and playful mood. The plaster cast wall light in the form of a drape of black fabric is a particularly dramatic choice.
