MELISSA’S QUICK FIXES

We can never get enough of a Mediterranean villa.

We can never get enough of a Mediterranean villa. Check www.melissapenfold.com to keep up with the latest trends. Naples. @paolo.schiano @dreamyresorts

Summer evenings: embracing our favourite cliches.

Summer evenings: embracing our favourite cliches. White candles, garlands of fresh green foliage, lemons and lots of them. Sitting around a wooden table in the open air beneath white bunting. Anything that amplifies the senses is big now. @aendthesea #outdoors #outdoorliving #tablesetting #tabledecor #tabletop #festive #party #entertainment #design #decor #trend #trending #foliage

This Mallorca palazzo, near Palma, via @lifestyle_mallorca feels in harmony with the natural world while still being super chic and upscale. Organic, layered textures are a design trick that boosts serenity. Classic elements such as archways will translate well to your outdoor space. To ease the heat of the midday sun without sacrificing light, a veranda or loggia offers respite and extends living space from indoors to out. Balcony railings with slender spindles work well for the most modern balconies or gardens. Extra lushness is created with fast-growing grape vines, grown up the side. Designers have done less of a volte-face than usual, preferring to tweak tried-and-tested classic formulas rather than replace them for 2023. Which means that many of this year’s biggest trends are celebrating tradition, and repurposing what you have.

Living well in the Mediterranean this weekend, (virtually). When it comes to putting together meals we love saving the hassle by not plating up food. It’s an attractive concept to adopt wherever you live. There’s no fussing. It’s more interesting and you only get what you really want. The Spanish, French and Italians are masters of making really delicious things using whatever’s around. Bringing fruits to the table adds a wonderfully fresh feel. Keeping things humble is far more in spirit for 2023. @aendthesea @seeladanse #weekend #outdoorliving #outdoor #tablesetting #rustic #trend #fruit #simplicity #nature #tablescape #houseparty #housedesign #home #mallorca #italy #olives #trees #organic #livewell #serenity
