City-chic Minimalist – Wallace Sacks Appleby Rattan Folding Bistro Set

balcony space

RRP £199

BrandAlley price £99

“Sleek and minimal, this Wallace Sacks Bistro Set will fit in the tiniest courtyard or balcony, so is perfect for city-chic living.  Its contemporary styling and foldaway option mean there is still space to place a few seasonal containers.  Courtyards are great places to grow herbs for cooking – like sage, rosemary and even annuals like basil and coriander from seed.  And the Vintage Living miniature greenhouse is the perfect herb haven for the first-time gardener.

Cooking not your thing? Indulge in massed groups of lavender for its heavenly scent or textural ferns and hostas for a lush green feel.  Finally, personalise the space with night lights and galvanised accessories. The scene is now set for inspiring coffee breaks and intimate al fresco dining.”

The ultimate outdoor indulgence – Wallace Sacks Richmond Circular Rattan Daybed With Canopy

RRP £1,199

BrandAlley price  £479

“This Wallace Sacks Circular Rattan Daybed is the perfect retreat.  Whether you fancy curling up with a book or simply cocooning yourself away, the options are endless for this great modern classic.

Comprised of four parts, Wallace Sacks have crafted a multi-purpose design that allows you to soak up the sun on the sun-lounger or to place the seating together for casual and comfortable entertaining with friends. The canopy gives great protection from a cool evening breeze or maybe even the sun if it ever gets a little too much.

A series of small bowls of delicate flowers, such as scented pelargoniums and mini campanulas work as a great feature for the coffee table. And you could create an intimate atmosphere with a  stunning backdrop of climbing roses, such as ‘Gloire du Dijon’ for the most romantic of settings.

For a simplistic scheme, surround the daybed with natural rattan containers and baskets filled with one colour of flowering plant like annual cosmos or dahlias for a later bloom.  The styling of the daybed and its co-ordinating pieces also lends itself to post-modern, retro-bright colours and geometric patterns.

Now all you have to decide is who to share this ultimate outdoor indulgence with…”

Indoors Outdoors – Wallace Sacks Cheltenham Rattan Corner Sofa, Ottoman And Coffee Table

outdoor seating

RRP £1,499

BrandAlley price £749

“Perfect for casual yet elegant outdoor entertaining, the Wallace Sacks Cheltenham Rattan Sofa will add grace to any terrace.  The generous cushion-filled seating is very inviting. So, make the most of the views you have within your garden or borrow something like a church tower from the surrounding skyline, as you will be sitting here a long time!

On generous terraces, accent with feature lighting and don’t be afraid to add large containers filled with roses such as ‘Winchester Cathedral’ or ‘Gertrude Jekyll’, plus lavender and catmint for a truly classic look.

If you fancy something a little more modern, then tropical cannas, black-stemmed bamboos and hardy foliage begonias will give your terrace a ravishing look.

Finally, remember to bring the inside out. There’s plenty of space on this set to add scatter cushions and luxurious throws, which pick up colours from your adjoining sitting room or kitchen – ultimately making both spaces feel that little bit larger.”

So there you have it, the top tips from our prestigious garden designer, Paul Hervey- Brooks.
