A small glazed ceramic bowl with painterly stripes in light and dark tones of grey and taupe. The tone on tone of colour gives off a retro vibe, but it all depends on what else you bring to the table, so to speak!
 
Set the table with plates and bowls in similar colours for a light and cosy feel. Or combine the Organi bowl from House Doctor with darker items, other patterns and a variety of textures to create a one-of-a-kind table with lots of personality. It might look random at first glance, but it will show a well-considered sense of style.
