Our calendars are telling us it’s National Barbecue Month for the whole of May, and whilst the weather may still be a little topsy turvy, it’s a great excuse to dust of the racks, stock up on charcoal and pull all the family around for a bit of alfresco dining.

Our favourite homeware stores have been revealing their summer collections recently too, making it even more tempting to move outdoors for some delicious grub.

So with all the beautiful new products, there’s one thing for us to do… Make a new board on Pinterest of course!

If your budget is a little stretched, what with holidays being booked as such like, many high street stores have picked up their game and created beautiful collections.

Try Sainsbury’s, Next and H&M for chic pieces that are bang on budget.

And of course, if the weather isn’t playing in your favour, setting up camp indoors can be just as good. Keep hold of the bright crockery, add a bit of pattern to your table and you’re ready to go.

Want to bring that summer vibe inside, whilst blocking out the rainy days? We’ve got plenty of fun designs to brighten any day.

Just take look at the Scion Living collection…

Flight Powder Blue makes gives everyday a wonderful blue sky, Yoki‘s waves make us feel like we’re right by the sea and a design like Lunaria Leaf brings the fauna to us.
