For a look that’s rich and polished, inject your home with flashes of silver.

1 Laying down a base

Silver doesn’t have to be confined to your smaller decorative accessories – it can work on your larger items, too. For example, a silver carpet will totally transform a room, particularly when it’s as beautiful as this piece from the Fatima Bint Mohammed Initiative.

2 Brilliantly barking

This ceramic Doggy Balloon Money Bank is the perfect place to store those spare dirhams, while introducing a hint of pop art – à la Jeff Koons – into your space.

3 Getting fruity

Bull & Stein’s oversized ceramic apple sculptures are created by the Brazilian designer Lisa Pappon. Standing 80 centimetres high and weighing 80kg, they’re a bold design statement, but one that will invariably pay off.

4 Winging it

Shaped like a metal airplane wing, the ­studded Aviator Desk by ­Andrew ­Martin will look great in a pared-back, ­industrial-style home office. We love the ­simple lines and shapely ­design.

5 Going green

The nickel-plated ­Yaneva pot will make a stunning statement wherever you put it, and its folds will reflect the light in captivating ways. It’s a creation of Guaxs, a German company that’s dedicated to creating high-quality lighting and design objects out of sustainable materials such as metal, leather, wood, natural stone and primary glass.
