MIAMI NICE

The new Fantasia collection by DFS is designed to transform any living room into a warm and refreshing space redolent of a luxurious Miami beachside pad. Taking centre stage in the collection is the Fantasia sofa, which channels the latest trend for curved silhouettes, while the addition of piping offers a touch of Art Deco glamour. Layer the Fantasia sofa with complementary colours such as off white, mauve and silver, then add a pop of colour and pattern via cushions and footstools, such as the Joules Ashwicke footstool in rose velvet, before finishing with hits of gold.
