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.
