Create drama with these dark and moody accessories.

Don’t be sheepish

This faceted ram’s skull from Typo is a fun take on traditional trophy heads. Use it to make a stark statement against a bright white wall.

Set the tone

Typographic art generally looks better in a monochromatic palette, and we’re very taken by the dramatic simplicity of this piece by the Australia-based Rachel Kennedy Designs. Created using non-harmful vegetable- and soy-based inks, and printed on eco-friendly paper, you will be doing your bit for the planet, too.

Light and shade

The Black Hygeia Bust Candle by MiaFleur was part of a wider collection inspired by ancient Greece. This particular piece was based on a design by Skopa, a sculptor from the 4th century, and depicts Hygeia, the Greek goddess of health (of body and soul).

Monochrome world

This black globe, with borders and meridians marked with simple white lines, will make an interesting addition to a more-modern home office.

Face time

All-black accessories will introduce a touch of drama to your space, so make sure to combine this bold shade with unexpected shapes and motifs. We love the shapely, lifelike faces on these porcelain Tête-à-Tête cups from DaWanda.
