Can we play guess the background items in this image?

Right upper corner could be a coffee or spice grinder.

Left upper corner might be one of those drawstring calico bags for storing garlic / ginger etc.

Also a window with a blind cord hanging down.

Down the bottom is a smartphone shadow. I’m going with iPhone
