With the good weather finally setting it, it’s time to make an outdoor space look beautiful. Whether it’s a garden, a balcony, yard or just outside the the front entrance – use planters to bring texture and colour or even start some growing your own vegetables. How ever big or small make outdoor space work for you this summer.

We love the Made.com range and picked these clay red woven ones as our favourite choice.

£79 for the pair.

Love the new designs from Orla Kiely at John Lewis. This patchwork floral design on bedding, is a new version from the original infamous stem petal pattern.

£20 – £85

They say;

This design is a reimagining of the Orla Kiely archival stem petal design, paired with a dainty cup flower. Multi Patchwork bed linen is part of an exclusive collaboration with John Lewis & Partners that reflects a shared love of bold colour and a strong graphic style.

Hailed by many as the ‘Queen of Prints’, Orla Kiely is a prolific textiles designer who has won global acclaim for her kitsch and colourful designs.

Drawing inspiration from nature, her Irish heritage and her grandmother, she has encapsulated these elements in her prints, giving the fresh, vintage-inspired twist for which she is famous.
