Take it outdoors The sun’s shining and it’s time to get your outdoor space looking
super-stylish and ready for a summer of alfresco fun and entertaining Sarah Giles

And if you’re throwing a summer garden party, the devil, as they say, is in the detail – from table settings to outdoor furniture for lounging in the sun, take time to get it all looking right and it’ll be a day to remember for you, your family, and for your guests.
M Table dressing
For the table, we love Marks & Spencer’s vintage-inspired Dovecote serveware range. Made from melamine, it won’t break even if it’s dropped on the patio and yet it looks convincingly like china, so there’s no sense of roughing it just because you’re dining alfresco.

is-matched furniture might be all the rage in interiors at the moment, but
can be totally customised to suit you, with interchangeable elements such as ethanol burners, a charcoal grill for heating and grilling, double-walled coolers for drinks and even a solar fountain, and when they’re not in use all the elements can be concealed. The materials Louise uses are virtually maintenance-free and made to last a lifetime.

Alternatively, innovative French barbecue brand Verycook has launched new additions to its colourful, two and three-burner gas plancha grill collection. Its Simplicity grills come with the option of a professional-style stainless steel cooking surface or black enamel, and
