Refined Rattan

Habitat Ella 5 Seater Lounge Set , £950

"Inspired by the Mediterranean way of life infused with alfresco dining and outdoor entertainment, rattan outdoor furniture represents chic, contemporary style with a nod to a retro era. Plush marshmallow-like cushions make the perfect finishing touch to create a setting to relax in summertime." ​
​David Hutcheson, ​
​Habitat Senior Designer - Furniture

Illuminating Lighting

"Over the years, outdoor lighting has evolved beyond fairy lights and is now expanding into a variety of aesthetic options to elevate outdoor spaces. Opt for rechargeable battery-operated portable lamps or explore rattan pendants and lantern styles to create a magical atmosphere after sunset."
​Amy Hollington, Seasonal Senior Buyer 

Pops of Colour

"Introducing vibrant colours is a powerful way to breathe life into smaller outdoor spaces. By opting for furniture, textiles, and accessories in bold and cheerful hues like sunshine yellow, terracotta orange or azure blue, you can instantly create an inviting and energetic atmosphere that perfectly complements the warm weather." ​
​Kate McCormack, Habitat Designer

Low-Slung Seating

"This year we have introduced the Teka Chair in a new green colourway, a minimal check pattern and a rocking version after last years success of the original Teka. This is a contemporary statement piece with a sleekly designed low-slung seat that can be equally suitable for indoor use, a pair of these chairs create a conversational focal point to any space."
