Okay, Venus Williams' Crate & Barrel Homewares Collaboration Shows She Really Knows Ball — On the Court and in the Home

Unmistakably tennis-inspired, but still chic enough to work in any modern living room design, this lovely merino wool blanket is bound to be adored by tennis aficionados and novices alike. The simple cream stitching against the deep green wool base brings a cool geometric structure to the soft wool design.

A waterfall of travertine spheres tumble down the length of this light fitting, recreating the constant flow of movement in a tennis match through beautifully textured natural materials. This pendant light combines the soft materiality of travertine stone with the gorgeous transparency of alabaster, for a finish that is both dramatic and serene, perfect for your entryway lighting.

If you're looking for a smaller, more subtle way to show your love of the game in your interiors, this throw pillow is the perfect solution. Less of a commitment than a full console table, but with the same court-inspired geometric design, even the best sofa could be improved by the addition of this uber-cool pillow.

This gorgeous console table also takes the iconic court markings as inspiration, reimagining the outlines in walnut and grasscloth for a design that would look perfectly placed in a mid-century modern living room. Plus, the generous amount of storage space mean it's just as practical as it is stylish.

We've been seeing stacked, geometrical forms popping up in all our favorite design collections over the past few months, and the trend shows no sign of slowing down, but this might just be one of the best ones yet. The travertine finish lends it a cool, minimalist design look, as does the simple linen shade.

Ever looked at a tennis ball and thought, 'that would make a comfortable seat'? Me neither. But that's why Venus has designed a collection and we haven't. This rounded design with contrast piping is sure to be found in all the coolest kids' rooms, and the easy-to-clean performance velvet means you won't have to worry about keeping it pristine.

An elegant addition to a master bedroom or neutral living room, this lovely daybed has the perfect balance of softness and structure, with its rounded arms and sturdy, wooden base, it masters the art of contrast. The round, bolsters at either edge lend this daybed a slight Art Deco-effect, too.

I'm yet to move on from the mixed marble trend, and this candle holder has just added fuel to the fire. Richly veined green and red marble stacks on top of one another in contrasting geometric forms in this design. And, call us crazy, but the color combination makes us think this could be the perfect finishing touch for a modern Christmas table setting.

With its soft, curved form and creamy, chenille upholstery, this cozy swivel chair would be a welcome addition to almost any room, adding a touch of Italian-inspired luxury to your design scheme. But true to the theme of the collection, this chair wouldn't be complete without a subtle nod to the sport, and the wooden tennis balls supporting the backrest do that with undeniable elegance.
