The monochrome trend is still going strong. A great idea this season is to start bringing in small injections of colour through accessories.
This subtle but effective idea of adding paint to a vase looks contemporary and is really easy to do.
You will need to find a plain vase, either white or a glass one you can spray white [ Hm.com & Ikea.com have a good choice starting from £1 ].
Choose some acrylic paint, neon tones are perfect for this season.
There are a couple of ways to create the effects, either dipping the vase and letting the paint run down, or splattering the paint and building it up.
We have found some tutorials to follow :

Another great idea to decorate a white vase is with a marker pen. Check out makeandtell.com

We love this black and brass wall clock from Rockett St George. It’s simple design really stands out and it is a beautiful piece to look at.
It would sit perfectly against a dark blue, green or aubergine wall in a living room or office.
Perhaps hang it mixed with other wall decor like mirrors and pictures, creating impact.
Available at rockettstgeorge.co.uk [ £169 ]

Paying tribute to the wonderful David Bowie this egg cup and plate is one of the latest designs from Donna Wilson, and we love them.
She has taken an iconic image and then put her inimitable style on it, creating fun ceramics for all ages.

We spotted them on Indish.co.uk [ plate £24 / egg cup £11.50 ]
