When it comes to making a design statement, you can’t beat the classic contrast between black and white. Here are some of our favourite monochromatic finds.
1 Eye-eye
We love this bold-looking cushion from H&M Home, which has the painted outline of an eye peering out from its surface. It will make a dramatic statement wherever you put it.

2 Simple pleasures
When it comes to monochrome, even the simplest design features can pack a real visual punch, as proved by this Art mug from The One. A white surface is brought to life with a simple slash of black paint.

3 Get motif-ated
Whatever your preferred pattern, Zara Home will have the right monochromatic piece for you. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different motifs, particularly when it comes to tableware.

These istikanah teacup-and-saucer sets from Silsal Design House combine traditional dainty glasses with charcoal-and-white saucers covered in Silsal’s trademark Arabic calligraphy.
