NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: FLEABAG SCREENING

ritten and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Following a box-office record-breaking run in cinemas in 2019, the one-woman show returns to cinemas to the big screen this summer. Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose. The hilarious, award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag,was filmed liveon stage in London’s West End in 2019.

It’s time to say Bye! To slow and unreliable internet and Hey! To fast and reliable full fibre broadband, at an unbeatable price.

Homes in Gerrards Cross, Beaconsfield and Amersham have already started connecting to gigafast, full fibre broadband and thousands more are expected to be connected in the next few months.

How can you stop your house sale FALLING THROUGH?

It can be frustrating when your house sale falls through, particularly if it means missing out on your dream home. Caroline Sugrue, B P Collins’ residential property solicitor, examines the reasons why this frequently happens and how to avoid this happening to you in the future.

Mortgage setbacks

Mortgage issues are quite common when selling a house. Lenders sometimes value a property at less than the buyer has agreed to pay. This is known as a down valuation, which means buyers face the possibility of either renegotiating the house price with the seller or finding the extra money to make up the shortfall. Sellers should ask for valuations from several estate agents before listing the property and be realistic and reasonable about its value. At other times, mortgage offers can collapse due to the buyer’s mortgage offer running out or a change in circumstances, meaning they can no longer borrow as much as they require. Sellers should ensure that their estate agent has checked sufficiently that their buyer can provide evidence that they have the finances available before accepting their offer.

Conveyancing holdups

Delays in the conveyancing process can result in buyers looking elsewhere and sales falling through.

The legal practicalities of buying a house can take some time – either due to delays in documents arriving, slow local authority searches, or an unresponsive lawyer elsewhere in the chain. When selling a house there are also a large number of standard forms that all sellers need to complete. This can be a lengthy process. If you instruct a solicitor at the same time you instruct your estate agents, you have the opportunity to work on these key documents then rather than having to do it quickly when a Buyer is found and will allow more time to get everything in order.

A break in the chain

A property chain is when a series of house transactions are linked together, and just one seller or buyer pulling out can result in the whole chain breaking and causing the people involved to lose money. Chains can collapse for a whole variety of reasons, including changes in circumstances, mortgage offers falling through or a problem with one of the properties.

Experienced residential property lawyers and proactive estate agents should ensure the chain keeps moving. However, you can only control your own actions, so always choose a reputable property lawyer, promptly provide all documents when required and address any queries as soon as you possibly can.

THE DETAILS

Nearly a third of all house sales fall through at least once before completion.  To help avoid this happening to you, or if you require advice on any residential property matter, please contact B P Collins’ residential property team at enquiries@bpcollins.co.uk or call 01753 889995.

THE KOKUM

Eat. Drink. Relax.

Indian food and cuisine dates back thousands of years. Each region has its own traditions, religions and culture that influence its food. India is known for its absolute amazing cooking styles and the distinct mixing of spices that invariably give Indian cuisine its flavour and aroma.

One of the hidden gems amongst them is the Kokum fruit which is used in most regional cooking of India.

Kokum – Garcinia Indica – is an antioxidantrich fruit with various medicinal properties along with its unique taste. It is a name of a tropical fruit grown on an evergreen tree from India and is a natural fit in most curries, adding a fruity sour tart, floral undertone and a pleasant hint of sweetness that plays especially well with rich and spicy dishes.

We, Tejesh & Jai, came together for our love of authentic pan-Indian Cuisine. With The KOKUM, We wanted to bring the abundant health benefits of Indian spices and fruits to the table through something that we all love – Good Food! We want you to come and enjoy our hospitality along with scrumptious food.

For us, The KOKUM is not only about food but also about awakening

the human senses through a culinary delight like no other.

The KOKUM is a new authentic Indian restaurant that brings a diversity of flavours and regional Indian cuisine to the people. We aim to modernize age-old Indian recipes and bring forth scrumptiously delicious meals to diners in this region, albeit without compromising on the true essence of Indian cuisine. We believe that food cooked with patience and love always tastes good and yummy. Hence, our motto is No Curry- in-aHurry! We are passionate about our sustainable and eco-friendly takeaway containers. We believe we are a responsible business and care for nature.

The KOKUM is a destination for those who crave incredible authentic Indian food. We want to be brave and willing to go that extra mile to guarantee you a unique dining experience in an elegant environment.

Finding Your Perfect Property

Q&A with Max Warby, founder of Warby Property Search

Hi Max, can you tell us a bit about Warby Property Search and the service it offers?

Warby Property Search is a residential property buying agency. We help clients find and acquire prime residential property across The Chilterns and London. As a buying agent, it is our role to guide our clients through the property search and acquisition process, acting as a trusted, independent advisor.

Why would you use a buying agent?

You have a professional on your side to protect your best interests. We have an in-depth knowledge of the markets that we operate in, including an encyclopaedic knowledge of property values. We are well positioned to get early access to properties before they hit the portals and much of what we see is off-market – estate agents know that our clients are serious and motivated. Furthermore, we save you time and aim to make the process enjoyable for you.

Our advice is totally objective and independent. We want every client to have an enormously positive experience with us, we know this is only achievable by providing a first-class service, and that is what clients can expect when they work with us.

Who uses a buying agent?

We work with a wide range of clientele, from time strapped busy professionals to astute investors who want clarity on value and yields, those downsizing and those upsizing. We are also often contacted by people who have been searching for a while but with no

success, they may be finding the process frustrating and time-consuming.

The seller is represented by the estate agent, but the buyer often looks to make a significant purchase with no representation on their side, with nobody to protect their best interests. This is where we step in. We will only ever work for a select number of clients at one time to ensure that each client is serviced with the utmost attention. Over the past year, half of our clients have been referred to us by past clients – which is something we are very proud of and keen to maintain and grow.

To arrange your initial consultation, email contact@warbypropertysearch.com or call 020 7088 8114.

Inspire your Creativity

Conveniently located in the historic market town of St. Albans, Fashion ‘n’ Fabrics has been serving the needle crafting community for over 51 years.

The shop was originally opened in 1971 by the late Christine Campbell and when the opportunity arose in June 2018 local mum of three, Simone Taylor decided to take a leap of faith to keep the legacy alive. Simone set about ushering in a new era for the shop, while maintaining the ethos that Christine had built up over the decades: To provide a ‘go-to’ destination to support people who create hand-made, beautiful and unique items to treasure.

The shop is a treasure trove of all things fabric (dressmaking and cotton), haberdashery, and crafts, with well-stocked shelves of natural and synthetic yarns from all of your favourite brands: Stylecraft, Sirdar, Adriafil, Wool and the Gang, King Cole, DMC, James C Brett and Wendy among others. They also have a wide range of knitting and dressmaking patterns, crochet hooks and knitting pins, as well as loads of tools and accessories.

“It has been a lot of hard work over the last couple of years, but I am so pleased the shop is still going strong 51 years on! When mental health and wellbeing is such an

important part of our daily lives with the added stresses we are all under, I am pleased to be part of a solution where crafters can get a wide range of good quality supplies to inspire their creativity.”

Fashion n Fabrics was lucky enough to complete an extension at the back of the shop last year and now has a wonderful bright new classroom where they have a variety of classes on throughout the year. These can be booked online or in store. They will also be offering longarm quilting services too!

VIP PROTECTION

Westminster Security is a private security company headquartered in its namesake - Westminster, central London. They were established at the turn of the millennium after recognising a niche and under-catered sector within the private security industry. That was high-end security services for UHNW individuals, private households, company owners, and executives alike.

The private security sector was awash with ‘security companies’ providing basic and lowstandard security guarding services, many being rogue and unlicensed companies run by criminals and protection rackets. Thankfully, those days are long behind us now due in part to the regulation of the Industry by the Home Office and the creation of the Security Industry Authority (SIA).

These days, you will likely find more security companies trying to crack the lucrative ‘highend’ market with their service offerings, yet one name remains consistent at the pinnacle of their

trade and the chosen provider to many securityconscious individuals, families, and businesses. Having built an excellent reputation and enviable brand image through their high standards, exceptional attention to detail, and excellence. Westminster Security has established itself as the industry leader and the ‘go-to’ company for ‘luxury’ high-end security services.

Their services are based around their core service of close protection, what is that? We hear you say. Well, essentially, its bodyguards, but not as you might envisage them. When we think of bodyguards, we all naturally think of Hulk-like burly men or gun-toting Hollywood hearth-throbs. But the reality is very different.

John Moore, Managing Director of Westminster Security Ltd said “Close protection operatives (bodyguards) come in all shapes and sizes, non are armed in the UK, and female bodyguards are ever more popular with our clients”. John is a veteran of the British Army where he served in the Royal Military Police and specialised in close protection within the Close Protection Unit. So, we believe him.

Other services they provide in support of their close protection operations include highly trained security chauffeurs, residential security guards, surveillance, and VIP event security.

Does common law marriage exist in the UK? All you need to know

Is common law marriage recognised in the UK?

The law in the UK means that even if a couple have lived together for many years, they do not have the same legal rights and protections as a married couple.

Many people think we do have this system, but when it comes to dividing finances, parental rights and even inheritance rights, the law in the UK largely fails to offer protection if there is a split between a cohabiting, unmarried, couple.

What are the implications?

Some of the key areas where unmarried couples are impacted include:

• Inheritance rights

Common law marriage is a concept that refers to a marriage-like relationship between two people who live together for a certain period of time, without getting married or registering their partnership formally.

This type of arrangement is recognised in some countries but not in the UK. Naim Qureshi, Senior Associate in the Family & Divorce team at Blaser Mills Law, explores what this means for couples who choose to live together without getting married.

What is common law marriage?

The exact definition of common law marriage can vary depending on the country which it is recognised, it refers to a relationship in which the couple has not formalised their union through marriage or civil partnership.

In some countries, common law marriage is recognised as a legal status that provides certain rights and protections to the couple.

• Pension rights

• Property rights

• Parental rights

• Tax breaks and benefits

What can cohabiting couples do to protect themselves?

Couples who choose to live together without getting married do not have the same legal rights and protections as married or civil-partnered couples. However, there are steps that couples can take to protect themselves and their assets. By taking these steps, couples can ensure that they are prepared for any eventuality and that their rights and interests are protected. Some of these steps include:

Cohabitation agreement

A cohabitation agreement can be drawn up to establish the couple’s rights and responsibilities towards each other in the event of separation. It covers finances, property and what will happen to your children if you were to split or if either partner was to become ill or pass away. Cohabitation agreements are popular with unmarried couples living together, as they cover all aspects of joint life and the complexities a split can have on this and offer protection for both parties and their assets.

Cohabitation agreements can go as far as providing protections similar to marriage, such as providing equal shares of assets or access to pensions.

Make a Will

Couples should each make a Will to ensure that their assets are distributed according to their wishes in the event of their death. Having a will offers you the chance to address what you would like to happen when you are no longer here, and as well as providing protection for unmarried couples, it can also protect your family.

Get in touch with Blaser Mills Law

If you would like to put a cohabitation agreement in place or discuss your matter further with our Family & Divorce team, contact Naim Qureshi on 01494 781356 or email naq@ blasermills.co.uk

Look as lifted as you feel with Ultherapy

The Cosmetic Skin Clinic is a multi- award-winning clinic specialising in natural facial rejuvenation, body contouring and gold-standard technology.

Ever wondered if you could take the time back and reverse the signs of gravity and ageing without needles and stitches/surgery? Ultherapy can give you high-quality results you simply won’t be able to wait to show off.

What is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is the leading ultrasound non-surgical lifting treatment. As the only FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment for lifting and tightening skin in the facial and neck areas, Ultherapy has rightfully gained popularity.

How does Ultherapy work?

By harnessing micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) energy, Ultherapy effectively targets deep layers of the skin but doesn’t damage the skin’s surface. This initiates the skin’s rejuvenation process by triggering the synthesis of collagen and elastin, essential components for achieving firm, youthful skin, while strengthening your existing collagen. Visible signs of ageing, such as lines and wrinkles are due to collagen loss. By strengthening and creating new collagen, we can reverse the signs of ageing.

What can Ultherapy treat?

This gold-standard treatment for skin lifting and tightening can tackle areas on the upper and lower face, neck and decolletage. So, say goodbye to sagging skin, jowls, skin laxity, drooping eyelids, sagging bottoms, turkey neck and those tell-tale signs of lines and wrinkles or crepey skin on your decolletage.

Ultherapy at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic

Ultherapy is renowned for being able to give our patients flawless, rejuvenated skin with no downtime, but why trust us with your skin lifting and tightening needs?

With a team of experts who know Ultherapy inside and out, we can effortlessly achieve great results whether it’s from a single Ultherapy treatment or a bespoke approach combining

other treatments. We have seen first-hand the lifted difference it has given our patients, so we effortlessly promote Ultherapy benefits. We are truly passionate about boosting collagen and because of our expertise, we have been named the No1. Clinic for Ultherapy in the UK for the 9th year in a row as of 2022. We have also earned the acclaimed title of “Ultherapy Centre of Excellence” recognising our expert knowledge and exceptional treatment standards.

Milan Trend Report 2023

Illuminating the streets, showrooms, salons, patios, parlours and palazzos of Italy’s style capital, Milan’s inimitable furniture fair Salone del Mobile got its glorious groove on last month, as the interiors glitterati from around the globe descended. With the air humming with anticipation and energy, there were unveilings at every turn as the industry’s most luxury brands presented pieces that will come to define the next interiors season.

Our homes have come a long way since we were last here. Namely, we spent 2022 throwing the doors open and letting nature in, from every bucolic colour to organic shapes and new found-in-nature materials, creating a soothing, sometimes ethereal, mood. This year? Things are ramping up. Statement colour is here, bringing with it doses of joy, happiness and hopefulness. Textures are growing bolder, adding playful twists to elegant pieces, and shapes have taken a turn for the whimsical. Our homes are becoming places which make us smile – while remaining stunningly beautiful and carefully considered, of course. It’s an elusive balance, but one which is merged into

individual designs to make curation all the easier and more enjoyable.

TEXTURES

CHUNKY BOUCLE

There is boucle and then there’s heavy, oversized, statement boucle, and it was big, brazen bumps that dominated Salone del Mobile 2023’s upholstery. A way to give life to neutral shades and add extra oomph to colours, bold boucle says, ‘Here’s where the funs at,’ inviting hands to nestle in and explore. With the larger looped pieces in the fabric creating a thicker texture and deeper shadows, the oversized boucle gives a light-hearted wink to whatever it’s covering, be it framed with an exquisite piece of crafted walnut or topped with bright, furry cushions.

RIDGES

Creating subtle yet characterful decoration, ridged markings and upholstery hit Salone hard, with furniture and accessories alike adorned with subtle stripes cut into solid materials and tailored onto the soft. Instantly adding a three-dimensional

effect and forming a layer of shadows, ridges pull the eyes into them, highlighting the contrast they create and inviting you to re-examine their base material. The overall effect is one of craft and delicacy, the lines emerging gradually to form a pattern that’s simple and striking.

TEXTURED GLASS

The ambience this year is hazy, dreamlike and illusory as textured glass takes over, casting beautiful, almost watery, shadows which transform a room into something ethereal and otherworldly. From textures embodying the organic to gentle patterns, in furniture, large textured glass slabs create the illusion of water frozen mid-movement, while lighting is embracing ever-so distorted glass shades, throwing a layer of mystery over their surroundings come nightfall.

COLOURS

PRIMARY TONES

At the top of the brightness scale this year are vivid, primary tones as interior design trends for 2023 take a turn for the kaleidoscopic. Playful and nostalgic, these happy shades remind us of our youths and bring intense splashes of energy inside. Introduction on simplistic designs big and small which let the colour itself create impactful bursts of joy and positivity.

MEDITERRANEAN TONES

Sunkissed, Mediterranean, earthy tones are where it’s at for colour that makes a statement without being too dazzling. Green has been the darling of the interiors world for several seasons as we’ve sought to become more grounded, and this year a rich olive has emerged as the trending tone. Falling somewhere between neutral and bold, it speaks not only of nature but of tempting warmer climes and endless lazy days. Sun-baked terracotta red also dominated, the brick-like tone conjuring even more tranquil images of tiled roofs disappearing into the horizon. And relax.

DUSKY

PINK

For something colourful as well as calming, it’s dusky pink all the way. Suspended between pink and grey, this isn’t a sickly, classically pretty tone, but rather a dash of sweetness to top off a room. Used on accent pieces: a chair here, a cushion there, maybe the odd sofa – the hazy shade creates a slightly dreamlike feel, a sense of whimsy that’s at once delicate and daring.

TAN UPHOLSTERY

Smooth, buttery soft, tan leather is all we’ll be sitting on this year. A tempting toffee tone took over sofas, chairs and upholstery in general across Salone, its laid-back vibe nodding towards the 70s and drawing attention to the beauty of shapes, tailoring and material combinations. With more punch than beige, think of it as an easy-yetstatement neutral, its milky, flat white-esque shade relaxed as well as elegant.

We look forward to welcoming these fresh Milanese trends – and more! – to our curated collection of designer greats both online and at our 25’000 sq ft luxury lifestyle showroom in Greater London. Want to get ahead of the crowd? Contact our Design Team to start your design journey, today.

HOW DO YOU BRING THE OUTDOORS IN?

With summer approaching, being outside is more on our minds. But having that outdoor feeling doesn’t just have to be for the warmer months, with careful planning you can create a seamless transition from outdoors to in. To give you some inspiration, here are Mustard House Design’s top 5 ways to achieve this.

Maximise natural light and views

If you are blessed with panoramic vistas, or views of your garden, from your home, make full use of this with large windows and glass doors. Ensure that your window treatments allows as much light in as possible and also maximises your view. Skylights will also help with an abundance of daylight while providing a connection to the outdoor environment.

Invest in indoor plants

Plants are an excellent way to infuse greenery and freshness into interior spaces. There are plenty of plants that thrive indoors, some even prefer low light levels so are ideally suited for that corner at the back of the room.

Incorporate natural materials

Natural materials emphasise our innate connection

with nature. Using materials like natural wood, bamboo, or stone, you’ll create a soothing and organic atmosphere.

Use nature-inspired colours

When decorating consider using colours naturally found in nature, such as shades of green, earthy browns, or calming blues to help evoke a sense of the outdoors. These colours can be applied to walls, furniture, accessories, or even artwork to create a harmonious environment.

Green Walls and Vertical Gardens

Take over a wall and install a vertical garden to bring a lush, living element to your interior space. They can transform a wall into a vibrant focal point, infusing the room with a sense of nature and providing a breath of fresh air. By incorporating some of these ideas you’ll be doing more than just bringing the outdoors in, you’ll be creating a welcoming indoor environment that blurs the boundaries between the inside and outside, helping to foster a connection with nature.

If you would like to understand more, get in touch and we will be happy to discuss ideas and options with you.

Our web site can be found at moneyhillinteriors.com where the majority of photographs are actually live shots of Clients kitchens and living areas – we cover the country, but the bulk of our design work is in Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and London. Please do have a look!

To this end we have some ex-display Kitchens and Appliances for sale – please do not hesitate to call us on 01923773906 if you are interested – we do not charge for our designs and will ensure that if you buy an ex-display kitchen or island it will fit perfectly. Our new showroom is located at 11, Holywell Hill, St Albans, AL1 1EZ.

Your local supplier with a personal touch. Marlow Stoves is family run business with a genuine passion for what we do - bringing our customer’s dreams to life and creating a better environment for the future.

With many of us spending a lot more time at home we often reflect on where best to invest for maximum return. Investing in outdoor living gives you a greater feeling of space and a guaranteed way of enjoy the better weather. It really is the feel good solution.

At its simplest, outdoor living is expanding your lifestyle into your garden and patio spaces. It’s about taking those elements of everyday life that happen indoors, out. Your outside living space isn’t just for show or to grow things in: it’s where you and your family eat, read, chat, socialise, cook and work.

At Marlow Stoves we consult, design, develop and build solutions for all things sociable outdoors. From cooking on gas or charcoal, kitchen, dining, lighting, seating, shade and cover. Most importantly in the UK climate, and our favourite subject, warmth.

We’ve come a long way from smoky open fire pits and now supply hand-built, enclosed outdoor wood

burning fireplaces with flues to keep the smoke further away from your furnishings and clothes. Why not experience 60 second pizzas or roast, bake, and steam limitless food possibilities with an outdoor pizza oven.

For all your outdoor living needs contact us or visit our showroom.

Citrus Summer...

How to bring a taste of Mediterranean style to your garden

When the weather is warm and dry, there’s nothing better than spending time in the garden, making the most of the space that’s on your doorstep. Bring the experience of dining out to your very own patio, with some simple styling touches to elevate eating al fresco.

Wayfair’s Resident Style Advisor, Dee Fontenot shares ideas and inspiration for outdoor summer dining...

Al fresco summer tablescape

The art of laying the table is definitely in the detail. Layering smaller plates on top of dinner plates and giving each guest cutlery for each course will add a sense of occasion. An essential piece of decor for any tablescape, a linen or cotton runner will bring a focus to the centre of the table whilst also protecting outdoor furniture from spillages and stains.

Think about individual place settings and the table centrepiece as a whole, and how they can

work together to create the overall look. Fold neutral linen napkins and add to each plate, placing a sprig of greenery and fresh lemon half for an effortless yet elegant - and aromatic - place setting. Instantly adding the Instagrammable factor, run off cuts of garden greenery or freshly foraged foliage down the centre of the table. Weave in between rustic serving boards and drape gently down the edge of the ends of the dining table for a super simple homemade runner.

Blend indoors and out

Gone are the days of bland, outdated garden furniture. With a huge variety of designs to choose from, with wood, metal, rattan and more, most sets would look just as good inside as they do out, with designs inspired by interior furniture. The appeal of dining outside on trips abroad is often how relaxed and effortless it feels. Bench seating can save space and often allows you to squeeze in extra guests without the need for more chairs. A bench set up is a perfect choice to suit a number of different styles and garden sizes.

Style and comfort

Delicious food and drink is certainly one important factor for outdoor dining, but comfort is just as key. For day time dining in gardens that get plenty of sun, a parasol will provide some welcome shade and protection - particularly helpful in the event of unexpected rain showers, given how unpredictable British summers can be! Outdoor cushions and throws or soft furnishings borrowed from indoors will cosy up hard seating for garden get-togethers, providing an extra layer for guests to use as the evening cools.

GREEN WITH ENVY

Consumer interest in green soars, according to new research from Victory Colours

First it was grey. Then blue. But it looks like green interiors are finally having their moment in the spotlight.

New research from eco paint specialists Victory Colours shows that consumer interest in green interiors has soared.

Using data from Pinterest, Victory Colours have found that searches for the term ‘green interiors’ peaked earlier this month – reaching an all-time high of 100 index points.

Victoria Yardley, Managing Director of Victory Colours, said: “Homeowners are getting braver and bolder when it comes to incorporating colour into their homes and green is the go-to hue.

“And it’s no surprise. Green has the most incredible calming impact and thanks to its connotations with nature, fans of all things biophilic are embracing all shades of green, from cooling sage through to deep emeralds.”

For those who are a little nervous of how to incorporate green into their existing interior schemes, Victoria has an ideal solution.

“The ceiling is often referred to as the ‘fifth wall’ and in fact, these are often great blank

canvases in which to really sell your interior style.

“If you’re somewhat in the neutral camp, try adding a pastel green to the ceiling to create a calming serene atmosphere from the top down.”

All paints in the Victory Colours’ collection are low in VOCs and solvent free.

They are available now from the victorycolours. co.uk and are priced at £44.95 for 2.5-litres of matt emulsion.

ABOUT VICTORY COLOURS

Offering exceptional quality emulsion with virtually no VOCs and solvents, Victory Colours puts the environment at the heart of its business.

The independent family-run firm has adopted an holistic approach to business; from making paint to order and delivering direct to the end user, to handpicking packaging that is fully recyclable or made from sustainable sources, such as bamboo.

There are over 120 colours in the Victory Colours range with capsule collections launched throughout the year.

Ca’ Pietra Tiles for Summer

Head of Creative at Ca’ Pietra Grazzie Wilson showcases some of her favourite summer tiles as part of their new Moments of Mine Summer campaign. These are tiles that form the backdrop to summer’s best bits.

Apéritif Please

Aperol, come at me. Citrus-y spritz, you’re mine. Campari and soda, yes and yes. Mix up a trending tipple and get sipping against a backdrop of mixand-match garden tiles. There’s no better way to set the sundowner scene.

Golden Hour

THE most golden-delicious hour of the day where literally everything and everyone looks at their most radiant. Tiles included. Terracotta, you’ve never looked better than you do pre-sunrise and those last few seconds before sunset. Get snapping. Get hash tagging.

Staycation

Cobalt blue x surf white. Pomelo yellow x basketweave beige. Consider your jet set palette covered all without boarding the plane. This summer, let your tiles take you there.

Ice Cream Sundays

Get your raspberry ripple on or make guests green-eyed with pistachio and mint-choc-chip on your paving’s palette. With sorbet shades and pastel soft serve shades trending across patterned outdoor tiles, make every al fresco moment like a trip to the ice cream parlour.

Sunday Brunching

Step away from the kitchen island, because when the sun’s out, Sunday brunch heads straight outside. And why keep avocado and egg-white omelette on the breakfast menu alone when you can tile up your outdoor kitchen with tiles coloured in those very tones?
