We spotted these fun ceramics from zarahome.com and are great to buy individually or as a set.

The grid print earthenware range comes in 4 different sizes of bowl and plate starting from £5.99.

The monochrome design is really cool and would fit in perfectly with a stripped back Scandi style kitchen.

Gentle soft palette, bringing the outdoors in and layering botanical patterns but breaking up with stretches of plain pale colours to stop it becoming too busy.

Use light mustards, greens, mauves and white together with botanical pale prints.

This look is calming and beautiful for a bedroom or lounge.

Add to this look with mango wood, rattan or white painted wood furniture. It’s a great idea to search eBay or furniture charity shops for pieces to suit the look, but Urban Outfitters, La Redoute and Maison Du Monde all have vintage style rattan and wood options.

Available across the high street and quite a timeless trend.
