With most people studying and working from home at the moment, the best gift you can give this Mother's Day is freedom from all the attention-seeking shouts of "Mom, where's my bag?" and "Mom, ask him to give me that toy." A sweet little corner for her to grab some peace and quiet will go down nicely.
Eco-friendly home store Tree has everything you need to create a beautifully decorated sanctuary that your superwoman can enjoy this Mother's Day - and beyond.
Start with the right chair. The handwoven rattan lounge chair is crafted in Indonesia from natural fibers around a wooden base. A curved back and generously filled seat and back cushion help to keep Mom comfortably seated with her books or knitting close at hand in a matching handwoven basket.
Add a splash of color with eye-catching cushions handwoven in India. This season's designs include soft pastels, bold geometric motifs, as well as colorful velvet cushions that are sure to give any space a jolt of vitality. Whether placed on the bed or on the sofa, these cushions will help Mom achieve that cozy, layered look, perfect for relaxing in.
Complete the corner with some plants. House your indoor greenery in one of Tree's terracotta vases and planters, which are handcrafted by artisans in the Philippines. The pots come in natural earth tones or turquoise to stop things from looking too boring.
For a bit of texture, place the plant pots into handwoven Buri soft baskets. Made by the Hanuno Mangyan indigenous people in the Philippines, the baskets feature beautiful tribal prints that are believed to ward off evil spirits and keep good health - messages which are particularly relevant in times like these.
