We’ve been tracking the great outdoor boom for s

We’ve been tracking the great outdoor boom for sometime and how time spent outside at home has become embedded in everyday lifestyles. Driven by the increased number of people with burnout and those needing a mental break from constant online activity, we are socialising more than ever outside and making our gardens as cosy and comfortable as indoor spaces. Fire pits, cosy chairs, comfortable sofas, glam lighting, and layered textiles are refreshing and shaking up stale terraces as we breathe new energy into our garden spaces.

La dolce vita, it turns out, can be cultivated. Add Italian sensibility to your outdoor space with symmetry, geometry and repetition - such as the magical driveway and pool terrace at @villaarniano in rural Tuscany. The 17th century farmhouse designed by @camillaguinness for her family is full of ideas to steal. From textural plaster walls to cosy built-in seating and awe-inspiring murals as well as a distinctly earthy palette - the unapologetic place has a cultural honesty with longevity and hugely elegant appeal. Love it! MX #easyelegance #garden #terrace #nature #natural #countrylife #countryside #relax

The concept of “trends” has become rather old

The concept of “trends” has become rather old fashioned, but we think homes and gardens that offer stress relief are taking over. We’re watching out for houses with earthy outsides in sustainably sourced stone that can calm people’s anxiety. Earthier tones help a place feel more lived-in and relaxed. Lifestyle is a driving force. That’s why searches such as”terrace”, “courtyard” and “pools” always come out on the top of Google lists. It’s about harmonious spaces where everything relates - from the smallest detail to the biggest gesture. The result may seem simple such as the 18th century century estate in Provence by @baptistebohu (pics 1-3) but that is because there is no tension.

Ahh, flowering vines are an A+ planting solution.

Ahh, flowering vines are an A+ planting solution. They’re poetic and graceful and they grow as fast as weeds. We also love big windows and conservatories that give you a feel of being engulfed in natural light and greenery.

A pool is a place to swim - it can be a restful, soothing, and sophisticated place in your landscape. It is a luxury asset that has been twisted into necessity as we now see things differently - loving anything that encourages indoor/outdoor living.
