Adding an item that adds a 'ding' or disrupts by being slightly unexpected adds personality to a space (or shelf) and gives a point of interest - we are all for this whenever possible.

At Curious Mr Smith we both grew up in the 70's where orange and brown (in our minds anyway) featured heavily. Orange has been forgiven for all crimes against style and taste... brown (other than wood or chocolate, obvs) is still, at times, a work in progress in our acceptance.
Orange just adds such a happy pop of warmth and colour.
This vintage orange plastic drinks caddy - is perfect for when meals and gatherings move outside, it can be loaded with bottles and condiments, equally it can sit happily on a work top helping to create some order.

This adjustable height & swivelling stool has been worked hard in its previous life but has so much character; it is in work currently, but do message if you're interested and we'll let you know as soon as it's online.

A smile inducing achingly cool addition for your hallway (or bathroom?) that offers a threat of order and tidiness - could be this Vintage Atomic black and yellow metal hook situation. SO fabulous.

A glorious pale yellow vintage enamel jug to bring the sunshine in; recommended more for 'just being'/a vase/utensil holder than for drinkables.

However, a vintage glass Berger pastis bottle could be a great addition to the table adding a shot of colour - perfect to use for water or your favourites drinkables.

These Stacking Hille Chairs, with a hint of nostalgic classroom vibes would add a fabulous jolt of colour to a dining situation - with the black arms adding more of an industrial feel. They are sturdy and suprisingly comfortable, with no double Maths required.
