Laid-back living

For the most relaxed alfresco moments, keep things

low-key. Embrace natural textures and neutral tones

for your serveware (even if it’s just a wooden board for

bread and olives) and opt for recycled glasses which,

ideal as they are for impromptu rosé as the sun goes

down, tend to be more durable, too. Try the range

at La Redoute. Don’t worry too much about items

being mismatched – there’s a sort of rustic charm in

odd china and mixed-up cutlery. The blanket, though,

is the basis for every picnic, so invest in one that will

last for ever – try Tolly McRae’s roll-up woollen

designs or the Tweedmill collection at Anthropologie.
