Romantic interiors and Raft's Valentine's must-haves
To us, 'Romantic Interiors' means curved lines, a gentle flow of natural themes and soft textures. The inviting allure of plush tactile design and rich colours, paired with moody lighting is the key to intimate interiors.

Tie together your space with natural materials  

Autumn Melrose Sofa, leather Albany Chairs valentine's day The sensuality of a space that demonstrates a natural flow of ideas is undeniable. Incorporating natural materials into your home will give each room a feeling of authenticity and unity. The earthy tones of teak, terracotta and lava stone juxtaposed with the sleek elegance of concrete and glass will create a beautiful completeness. 

Curved lines and plush textures for romantic interiors

Lincoln Sofa curved lines soft textures valentines Romantic interiors demand sensuously soft textures and generally tactile design. To achieve this, we suggest incorporating curved lines into your interiors to create a sense of invitation. For example, our Lincoln Sofa with curved armrests and generously plumped cushions, upholstered in a plush material such as velvet… Heaven. 

Moody lighting

Lamps with natural shades in rich colours, such as our Harvard Table Lamp with a black shade. The open weave linen creates a glow that doesn’t glare and will transform the ambience of any room.
