Give your outdoor space some seaside style

Update your patio

Follow these simple steps to get the look:

  • Get the colours right Blue, red and white are classic English summer colours, so use a mixture of the three in cushion fabrics, plants and garden accessories

  • Use vintage-style accessories Pick out accessories that have an association with the past, such as retro-style metal signs, to conjure up memories of summer holidays gone by

  • Garden lighting Display hanging lanterns and floor lanterns so there's plenty of sparkling candle light when the sun goes down
