HEAD OUTSIDE

DAYDREAMER
Finding a hot spot in the garden that also offersenough shade to save you reaching for the factor 50 shouldn’t be a problem with John Lewis’s Leia outdoor alcove seat. Its cocoon-shaped canopy, which is madefrom eucalyptus wood and fisherman’s rope, creates a piece of furniture that almost begs you to curl upinside and watch the world go by.
SEA BREEZE
Word has it that it was the blue water and fresh air of the Italian seaside thatinspired H&M Home’s summer collection. Expect cotton weave and washed linen bedding, crystal clear glassware and accessories in earthy jute textures.Can you feel the breeze coming in from the ocean? We can.
INDI-GO-GO
Walk down the aisles at Sainsbury’s this summer and expect inky blue and white tableware worthy ofa sun-drenched Santorini home.Yet it’s the ancient Japanese dye technique of shibori that reallygets the nod, with indigo-toned batiks and tie-dye effects plastered across plates and napkins. Now where to find that effortlesslyaged rustic wood table?
ROOM FOR ONE MORE?
The more the merrier and Habitat’s Feliz range perfectly caters to squeezing those last-minute plus-one’s around the table. Take its European oak bench – it’s a five-seater, but we can easily see a few extra aunts and uncles sliding on. And its scoop-shaped rattan chairs are just the thing for those going the distance over lazy brunches.
