In the face of COVID-19, and being quarantined for the foreseeable future, our homes have never been more important than now. As spring has sprung it’s the perfect time give your outside space some TLC! I’ve rushed through an order of David Austin roses, bought some terracotta pots online, planted some herbs, and crammed them all onto my tiny, sunless, balcony. Wish them luck!
Whether you have a small city terrace, or sprawling countryside park, we all deserve a beautiful space to escape to. Here are a few ideas to help you set the mood, whatever your style!
There is no country which inspires me more than Italy, and we owe them so much (think pasta, pizza, the renaissance)! Short of actually moving there, bringing a little Tuscan charm to your garden will make everyday a holiday. These soft warm tones are hugely welcoming, to give you an elegant and timeless retreat. Bonus, these beautiful wrought iron chairs are handmade in Florence! Sublime!
When you need your garden (or balcony) to be a haven from the bustling streets; pared down neutrals are always chic. The printed cushions soften the look, combine with candles and white flowers for the ultimate retreat.
Fresh and classic will never go out of style. Calming blues pared with whites and neutrals reminiscent of the riviera, you’ll be donning some espadrilles ready for an apero on the terrace in no time! Also, striped towels are my peché mignon…
Now all I need is garden.
