SUPPERS BY THE SEA You don’t have to travel abroad to get that holiday feeling. For an outdoor dining setting to rival the beachside resorts of the Mediterranean, opt for a table draped in The White Company’s Broderie Anglaise tablecloth, £75, set with simple rustic tableware, and team with relaxed director’s chairs with white canvas slings - try Habitat for similar. Adding string lights, such as these metal ones, £45 from The White Company, along with plenty of its fireside and filagree lanterns, from £25, will make for a magical atmosphere. If you’re lucky enough to be in a seaside setting then your garden may be susceptible to strong and salty prevailing winds, so consider planting a windbreak to shelter your dining area; pampas grass is particularly well suited to coastal areas and will look beautifully sculptural, too.
