Keep things nice and simple with these monochromatic finds.
In the affirmative
Remind yourself to take a positive approach to life with this “Yes” cushion from Bloomingville. The muted greyscale colour combination will look great in a more pared-back space.

Brighten the mood
Black typography against a white background is an absolute classic. We can’t think of a nicer gift – whether for a friend or for yourself.

On course
This ceramic plate by Astier de Villatte manages to be playful and polished all at once. We love the cartoonlike sketch of a knife and fork, which contrasts charmingly with the slightly rustic surface edges of the plate.

See the light
If you are looking for something that’s both simple and striking, this jar light from Comptoir 102 is just the thing. The bare bulb and industrial-inspired aesthetic make it a minimalist’s dream.

The cuckoo’s calling
This is a fun take on a cuckoo clock – stripped of all adornment and reduced to its most basic elements. Place it on your bedside table for a look that’s as uncluttered as can be.
