Monochrome needn’t mean bland. Pair black and white with fun prints for eye-catching accents.
1 On the table
When it comes to tableware, stick with a monochromatic palette, but play with pattern. This set from Zara Home will do the trick nicely.

2 A light touch
The organic, slimline shape of this Suspension Papillon pendant lamp by French designer Elise Fouin will complement any monochromatic design scheme.

3 Break the pattern
Scatter cushions are the easiest way to add a particular design style to your interior. The simple but intriguing patterning on this cushion from H&M Home will add visual interest to a neutral-coloured sofa.

4 Take it as red
A houndstooth pattern — consisting of tiny black-and-white checks — will make a strong style statement in any space. We love how the bright-red legs give this sofa from Atmosphere Furnishings that extra wow factor.

5 Make a statement
This high-quality A3 giclee print will make a stark but striking statement on your wall. It’s a highly contemporary (and cruelty-free) take on the traditional hunting trophy.
