Create a room outside

Make the most of the warmer months by using your garden as an additional room. Not only does it give you the ideal place to soak up what little sun we see, but it’s also the perfect place for entertaining friends and family.

We love this outdoor sofa from British HOME Stores, especially when it’s teamed with bright, fun accessories.

Much like on the catwalk stripes are huge this season, go bold with candy cane or keep it minimal with railroad stripes. These work well on a feature wall making it the focal point of the room.

Don’t be afraid to inject your personality with small touches that makes it truly feel like your home. Take inspiration from John Lewis with quirky antique style mirrors as an alternative to a piece of art.
