Madeira: the pearl of the Atlantic

Give your outdoor space a nostalgic feel with a 70’s inspired aesthetic. Keep it modern and fresh by avoiding the clash of brightly coloured patterns and keep to neutral earthy tones with one colour to pull through. That sepia tone that dominates those old family photos, is the perfect 70’s neutral to play with in the garden. Use natural wood furniture with wicker and rattan, simple steppingstones in gravel, functional trellises and a restricted playful pop of colour in the textiles and you’ve nailed a laid back style that is familiar and fresh at the same time.
