We've chosen our best buys, from the new Ideal Home collection at Very, to effortlessly embrace the look.
Instantly add warmth to a cool monochrome colour scheme with pops of feel-good yellow. A compact two-seater sofa can be brought to life in a bright shade of Mustard. This sunny hue is the perfect accent colour to make monochrome black and white accessories really standout. Mustard is VERY much the shade to be seen in 2019!
We're big fans of berber-style rugs. The soft underfoot, deep pile is a real treat for feet on any floor. The signature simple geo pattern s ultra-versatile and lends a global nomad vibe to the overall look.
