With the temperature rising (finally) and the days staying lighter for longer, our need to be outside intensifies as we all strive to get as much of the good-old outdoors as possible. But on the more than frequent days when the weather isn't all sunshine and sangria, bringing prints and patterns into your home is a sure fire way to keep the feeling of summer alive until the heat wave kicks in. And there's nothing hotter right now than the 70s trend - a look that designer Orla Kiely has been championing long before it became everybody's fave decade.
This vibrant range includes hanging plant pots, herb pots and fabric plant bags as well as enamel mugs and plates featuring the iconic designer’s instantly recognisable retro floral motifs.
Whether it's the mint for your mojito or a sprig of coriander to add to a salad, fresh herbs are essential for adding flavour and fragrance to your summer feasts and growing your own is the best way to get them at their very freshest and to add some greenery to a patio or balcony space.
