Bold colours reign supreme this summer - and the brighter the better

1. Rainbow time

This sunburst-shaped acrylic clock by Karlsson brightens up the blandest of walls and helps make every hour of the day a cheerful one. Wall Oopsy Daisy Rainbow Clock, Dh475 (plus shipping), www.thecontemporaryhome.co.uk

2. Tropical taste

This Miami-chic cushion by the British artist and designer Chloe Croft captures the tropical brights trend perfectly, making us think of balmy nights in Hawaii. If you're looking to bring some summer fun to your sofa, look no further. Dh292 (plus shipping), www.rockettstgeorge.co.uk

3. Sink into summer

With his "happy chic" mantra, Jonathan Adler is one of our favourite American homeware designers. His new-season collection includes these soft leather pouffes which combine two key trends - tropical brights and Moroccan - in one neat solution. Dh1,1010 each (plus shipping), www.jonathanadler.com

4. Tangerine dream

For a truly grand statement, the Herald armchair, one of the signature pieces from Versace Home's spring/summer collection, is hard to beat. It's available in a range of finishes, including mirrored leather, high-gloss coated technical fabric and silk jacquard, velvet and silk satin. It also comes in a shade of deep cobalt blue but this lush tangerine hue is something else. Dh30,000, Versace Home, Dubai Mall, 04 330 8697, www.versacehome.com

5. Sip of sunshine

Add a punch of colour to your party with Zara Home's elegant sunny yellow and deliciously named Sorbetto glass. Dh33, Zara Home, www.zarahome.com

6. Bowled over

The Rosti Mepal Synthesis Bowl and matching mugs come in a range of vibrant tones, including java green, eos orange and eos blue. The only problem is choosing between them, so why not go for a full set? The products are all made from melamine, one of the hardest, most scratch resistant plastics on the market, so they're also guaranteed to last.
