Organisation tip for this colour scheme

Opt for statement storage that doubles as décor
Choose black metal or matte-finish storage solutions—think sleek sideboards or modern storage cubes. Use bold trays to corral items like candles or remotes on coffee tables. Keep everything sharply edited to match your confident, structured style.

Shelf styling tip

Go for high contrast and strong lines
Style shelves with monochrome objects—black frames, white sculptural pieces, and bold geometric shapes. Use negative space intentionally to create drama. Think gallery vibes: fewer items, but each one striking and purposeful.
