1 Lovely lounging

The American family-owned company ­Bernhardt has been creating furniture since 1889, so it’s little wonder that its products are so finely put-together. In this case, the sturdy symmetry of the ­Lanai sofa is offset by its brilliant azure-blue hue.

3 The beautiful game

We appreciate that this might be something of an indulgence but since the whole world has gone football crazy, why not join the fun? Made from weather-resistant steel, the RS#2 C2 Football Table can be used indoors or out. But there’s only one left in stock, so you’ll have to hurry.

4 Sitting pretty

Crate & Barrel does a fine line in statement chairs – and the Grayson is no exception. A take on the traditional barrel chair, the curvaceous Grayson combines striking hues of blue with a ­subtle geometric print, and is finished off with blocky, dark-wood legs for extra impact.
