THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Feature Emma Fishman

Tropical delights

After months of chilly temperatures, and snuggling up by the fire, it’s finally time to venture outside. Give your outside space a much-needed boost with a totally tropical theme that will instantly turn up the heat. Mix and match playful patterns with vivid shades to be on trend this summer. We can’t resist that full on tropical feel that’s just bursting with party fever. Go all out and embrace the colour clash vibe with hot pinks and turquoise and a sunny injection of yellow to send temperatures soaring in your garden.

Plastic tableware has never looked so good, so serve up your delicacies on this great value collection
