The Plus 4 Garden Furniture Set by John Jenkins is part of Heal’s ReDiscovers collection.
The garden table and chairs set is inspired by a classic Ambrose Heal design from 1923. Like some of the best retro dining sets, the Plus 4 is designed with space saving in mind, with the chairs tucking neatly around the edge of the table. The table and chairs are made from teak and there is a hole in the centre of the table for a parasol.
The set costs £995 (it promises to save space, not money!) from Heal’s.
Shabby chic can be a difficult look to pull off – particularly if you don't have hours to devote to trawling charity shops and car boot sales for the perfect mis-matched home accessories.
Allow Berry Red to come to your rescue with these pressed glass Jewel Coloured Votives in red, pink and purple. Fill them with wild flowers or create a romantic atmosphere by using them to hold tealights.
There are four different designs and the best thing about them is that they cost from just £2.75 to £3.75 each, so you can afford the whole set!

If there's one thing that represents the quintessential British summer above all others, it has to be the deck chair. Despite seeming somewhat old fashioned these days, the deck chair's simplicity and comfort mean that it's still seen on beaches and in parks and gardens up and down the country.
This Stripey Double Deck Chair from Cox & Cox is twice the usual width, making it a comfortable seat for two. The frame is wood and the seat acrylic, so durable and weatherproof, which means this chair will be with you for many summers to come.
It costs £145 from Cox & Cox here.
