Illuminate your home with this quintet of varied pieces made from lighter shades of wood.

Crannies from Nook

Show off your trinkets in this house-shaped display box from Nook. Let’s face it, you can never go wrong with a combination of simple lines and light-coloured wood.

Catch the drift

This bowl from Zara Home looks like it was crafted from a stray piece of driftwood. It has a wonderfully organic feel to it and will look great regardless of where you put it – or what you put in it.

Sitting pretty

The streamlined, sculptural lines of this chair are juxtaposed with a textured, wool-effect seat, with a stunning impact. Place it in a corner of the room and pair with a statement lamp to create a cosy reading spot.

• Chair, Dh1,900, Flamant, Dubai Mall

Set point

This matching set, comprising a chopping board and bowl, is crafted from bamboo, which is a natural, sustainable and easy-to-care-for material that will also be gentle on your knives.
