The Tablecloth  

The Shellebrate tablecloth is sewn in Cape Town using original fabric patterns illustrated by Lucie Demoyencourt — think beach cottages, ocean breeze, and summer in full swing. £141.40, Lucie Demoyencourt

The Placemats

Whether it’s a sunny brunch or a sunset dinner, these colourful rattan placements –handmade in Vietnam – are an easy yet impactful way to elevate any outdoor table. £19.00, Truffle Tablescapes

The Wine Cooler

When hosting guests outdoors, the last thing you want is to keep running back to the fridge for drinks. We’re loving this Ammonite cooler made from aluminium – bound to keep your bottles perfectly chilled all day long. £63.75, Sweetie & Willow

The Cutlery

Say goodbye to flimsy plastic forks and hello to tableware you’ll actually want to show off. Sunshine & Snow’s stainless steel and enamel cutlery brings serious style to alfresco dining, whether you’re picnicking in the park or hosting a laid-back garden lunch. £34.00, Sunshine & Snow

The Platter

No ‘picky bits’ spread is complete without a great platter – and this pink, scallop-edged option from Damson Madder is just the thing to add a touch of kitsch to the mix. £55, Anthropologie

The Margarita Cups

These spicy margarita cups might just steal the show. Hand-painted and brimming with personality, they’ll bring instant charm (and a little heat) to your summer table. Bonus points if you pair them with a salted rim and a playlist to match. £76, The Go-To

The Napkins

Nothing sets the mood for a summer gathering quite like soft, sun-drenched linen –and Sabri Sabri’s dreamy tableware nails the brief. Made with care in Italy’s Lombardy region, each piece draws inspiration from vintage embroidery and timeless prints, adding effortless charm to any outdoor spread. $31, Sabri Sabri

The Seat Cushions

Add a splash of fun and colour to your space with these retro-inspired matchbox seat pads. Perfect for chairs, wall seating or benches, they’re designed to brighten up any corner while offering a comfy spot to sit. £39.50, Graham & Green

The Board Game

The perfect way to wrap up a great meal? A fun game to keep the good times rolling. Bring out this Othello set, and you’re guaranteed to grab everyone’s attention and spark some friendly competition. $337, Coming Soon
