Celebrating in summer calls for all things
bright, colourful and fun. The entire
rainbow is there for you to use; we like to
pick out a few key hues like oceanic blues
and greens with bright, sunshine yellows
and pink. The high street is teeming with
tropical accessories to accompany vibrant
furniture, all of which can be mixed and
matched to create a breezy and energetic
holiday vibe.
