lot has been said in recent years about the merits of being inspired by the garden when it comes to interior decorating, but this


year it’s the other way


round. The idea is that you make your garden and patio spaces as comfortable and as enjoyable to spend time in as any of


the rooms in your house, with proper, sturdy and attractive furniture – such as the lovely new Longstock range from John Lewis [1], paving that looks as though it has migrated straight out of a contemporary “country chic” kitchen, and even outdoor rugs that can stay outside in all weathers.

FLOOR SHOW


Deck porcelain pavers by SACW Paving, shown here in a lovely rich colour called Cognac [2], for example (also available in Honey and Nordic), are ideal for outdoor use such as patio, terraces, and around swimming pools. They’re a high-tech alternative to natural wood or composite wood and they’ll stay looking good for many years with very little maintenance. As well as being durable, frost-proof, and anti-slip, they are easy to install and can be adhered to screed or installed directly onto grass, gravel or sand with no need for screeds, mortar or adhesive. Alternatively, Otto Tile & Design’s


Terrazzo tiles [3] are also hard-wearing, anti-slip, long-lasting, and resistant to stains, algae and moss – and they will add a luxurious dash of sparkle to a patio or pool surround, thanks to the marble, granite, quartz and glass they contain.
