creating the perfect home.
LET’S GO OUTSIDE...
I am reliably told that summer is coming and I can with
authority inform you my dear reader that now is the time to
ready your outdoor space!
Whether you have a window sill, terrace, tuft of grass or a park
attached to your domicile, small details can enliven the space
and encourage you to spend more time absorbing precious
Vitamin D!

Alfresco dining can transport you around the globe - decide on
a theme, Moroccan, Grecian, Palm Springs, wherever the fancy
takes you, furniture and accessories can elevate your piece of
England and tantalise the senses. With a little imagination and
time you can transform your outside area to suit your mood.
Lighting can be crucial, use candles to create romance, fairy
lights for whimsy and hardwired stainless steel lamps for that
urban contemporary feel.

Crisp linens and eclectic fabrics for cushions and napkins will
infuse your table and furniture with personality and colour.
For the final touch, I always ensure that I have fragrant herbs
on the table and a cashmere throw for cooler night’s, perfect for
cuddling under.
