I’m so excited for summer this year because I’ve finally got the outdoor sofa I’ve always wanted, which means I’m all fired up to get the patio set up like an open-air living room. I’m upcycling some side tables I found in the loft (lots of things didn’t make the cut when I bought a house with my parents and we merged our stuff…), I’ve rolled out a rug (it’s woven plastic, in case of a rosé spillage!), and dug out the rain-resistant cushions I bagged in last year’s summer sale at West Elm.

1. Bring in a little gloss Shiny finishes enliven gentle colour schemes and a smart gloss piece of furniture will add a contrasting effect. Choose a mink shade for a sophisticated take on standard white. 2. Layer up cushions Be generous with cushions to dial up the feeling of luxury. Stack them neatly for a chic hotel-style look, and stick to plain colours in luxe velvet for classic, understated elegance. 3.
