One of life’s great pleasures is eating outdoors. The weather this week calls for a shady table, a picnic rug beneath a tree or a feast later in the evening when the temperatures cool. These pieces will keep it chic from the terrace to your garden to the park.

from £210 from Hay
Pricey, but worth it, we bought a table and chairs from Hay’s iconic Palissade outdoor dining collection a few years ago. Designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, they look equally great on a city terrace or in a verdant garden and are durable enough to be left outside across seasons without damage.
Available in multiple colours, but we love this perfect green.

Arranging your flowers is a snap with this clever vase from Fritz Hansen. It looks best with freshly found wildflowers and puts the focus on their natural beauty, rather than on the vase itself.

If at home, keep the kids entertained (and the adults cooled off) with this trendy, inflatable wading pool. Unlike inflatables of old, this one actually makes a great looking addition to the garden.
