DIG o u t those weeds and mow th a t luscious lawn now - it's time to make the most


of al fresco living. When summer rolls around,


our thoughts turn to long warm evenings outdoors. Stylish interior design can


extend to the outdoors to cre­ ate comfortable and relaxed liv­ ing spaces for long summer


days. From yard art to atmospher­


ic lighting, bringing the indoors outside has never been so easy. In creating a comfortable


outdoor living space, consider i t as an extension of your home. Take inspiration from the plants and flowers growing around you and choose co-ordi­ nating colours. When the sun is shining,


ditch the dining room and head outdoors for an al fresco dinner party. And what is summer without the waft of tempting barbecue aromas in the air? Achieve the perfect summer setting for guests by choosing natural fabrics such as cottons, and linens in a mix of floral patterns, with checks and stripes. Add tie-on seat cush­ ions to chairs and dress a din­ ing table with co-ordinating table linen and china. With temperatures soaring,


seek sanctuary in the shade with relaxing recliners and seating for the summer months. You don't need to head to


your local park to take a perch on a relaxing bench. Try one m

your own backyard - choose a sturdy number and it will last for many summers to come. If you fancy going design-led


m your garden lounging, head for stylish hanging chairs. It's the ultimate outdoor accessory for floating away with a good book in the privacy of your own garden. You can create a holiday-like outdoor haven with cushions scattered on blankets and recover deck chairs m fabrics to co-ordinate. Choose a selection of sizes and shapes for cushions and consid­ er trimming with buttons, bob­ bles and tassels to add more detail. It's the little touches that


make all the difference m trans­ forming a lacklustre garden into a summer retreat. Light­ ing IS all-important for those occasions when afternoon din­ ing spills into dusk celebra­ tions. If things aren't blooming in


your garden, make your floral efforts elsewhere. An al fresco delight IS possible with a few stylish steps. Consider adding a vase of freshly cut flowers to a table and hang tea lights in paper lanterns or jam jars from surrounding trees. Place storm lanterns among the flower beds to give soft ambient lighting when the sun goes down.
