Give any little space in your home a small lift.

Allow for versatility when adding pops of colour to your abode. Although these floral-patterned pieces from Zara Home are meant to be tea towels, we’d use them as oversized napkins to spruce up a dinner setting.

Bathroom bowling

Take a break from bright white and opt for darker accents when decorating your bathroom sink – they will also help disguise build-up from water and soap. This sink from Unique Sinks is made from lapis lazuli and is as bold looking as it is resilient.

Tea o’clock

Subtle hints of humour are a great way to lighten the atmosphere in any space. Select small items like this De Ja Brew tea towel from Barnaby & Co, which features a charming screen-printed design with tea and cat motifs.

Fluid notions

Give your glassware collection a more up-to-date feel. Pieces like this handmade glass jug from LSA International are elegant but also playful, and make for an ideal centrepiece.

Majestically lit

Mix subtle hints of lapis blue with intricate motifs for a more regal look. This Majestic metal table lamp from Home Centre will complement any neutral decor, while its smaller stature means it will work in tighter spaces.
