Dream up your ideal place to spend a day of low-intensity activities – then take it outside. This is how we did precisely that.
The genius simplicity of adding textiles
What a difference well-chosen textiles in a limited colour palette can do! A few seat cushions turn the bench into an elegant backless sofa. Some throws, and you’re prepared for gusts and sitting out under the stars. Top off with a pair of patterned rugs, and you have a lounge for all hours.
Calm mood, leafy plants and plump cushions
The rug and parasol together with light textiles and warm wood frame this natural gathering spot. Whatever your outdoor creed – morning coffee, relaxing with friends or long evening sessions – everyone is invited.
Great by day, all-out irresistible at night
Characterised by natural materials like acacia wood and lush plants, this setting is a perfect pleaser any day. Add lighting chains, lanterns and block candles, and your new favourite spot is ready to work double shifts all season.
