Out from the kitchen cupboard and proudly on display, white dishware gets new-found appeal thanks to stylist Lara McGraw’s amazing eye for choosing standout home decor pieces. Take her shopping for antiques and she’ll find the most unique item on the table; the same thing goes in a sprawling big box store. When it comes to colourless white decor, shape and texture become even more important to make a statement. Here are our favourite pieces.

Tea sets
With their curvaceous shape, teapots and creamers are voluptuous beauties.
Serveware
Delicious desserts displayed on an ornate cake stand read divine and scrumptious.
Vases
A collection of vases – from porcelain to milk glass – looks beautiful even without the flowers.
Flatware
A great way to keep to your all-white palette in an unexpected way.
Food & drink
Serve up some all-white fare to complete your all-white table setting.
