When it comes to outdoor furniture and accessories this summer season, pink is the only option. Here are some of the best blush-hued items to add to your garden space now.
With the weather outlook approaching satisfactory here in the UK, many of us will be taking our laptops, books and glasses of wine outside. And, as a result, we might also be paying a little more attention to our exterior furnishings.
Outdoor furniture and accessories become just as important as interior choices at this time of year. People not only want to enjoy the outdoors more but they also want to create a visual bridge between the home, the garden and the natural world.
Unsurprisingly, these external accessories go through trend cycles just like their indoor counterparts. So, what is in vogue in the world of the outdoors?
Well, millennials can rejoice because it is the colour pink. Blushing hues are in-demand. You can finally wave goodbye to minimalism and cool shades and say hello to colour.
Whether you like strong pops of cerise or delicate touches of rose, pink is the only choice this summer. Thankfully, retailers are ahead of the trend. Including pieces from Marks & Spencers and Dunelm, there are chic and stylish options available that won’t break the bank.
Here are 11 of the best pink pieces to buy now.
