Make some space on your tabletop for these eye-catching accessories.

1. Potty for floral design

We love the work of the Dutch company Des Pots, which crafts unique ceramic vases that are brimming with character and craftsmanship. The colourful flowers on this particular piece will make a stunning centrepiece for your table.

• Vase, Dh966, Cities, The Galleria Mall, Dubai

2. Smooth operator

The Bridget vase from Crate & Barrel is simple and striking – our ­favourite combination. Inspired by India’s glassmaking traditions, it’s made from molten glass that’s moulded, fired, cut and then polished for a beautifully smooth finish.

• Bridget vase, Dh89, Crate & Barrel, Mall of the Emirates and Mirdif City Centre, Dubai

3. Time for tea

This porcelain teapot takes inspiration from the depths of the ocean. Part of the new Seascape Set by Zara Home, it looks like a collection of oversized sea shells intertwined with strands of coral.

• Seascape teapot, Dh169, Zara Home stores across the UAE

4. Plenty of bottle

Serve liquids in style with these vintage-looking bottles. Alternatively, line up a few on a counter top or window sill for a super-cool decorative ­statement.

• Bottles, Dh25 each, S*uce Gifts, Al Wasl Square, Dubai

5. Shining a light

Why not build on the marine theme with this shell-shaped tealight ­holder, also from Zara Home. It’ll make a sweet and understated addition to your tabletop, particularly if you’re planning a more intimate get-together.

• Shell tealight holder, Dh40, Zara Home stores across the UAE
