Summer is here and thoughts may have turned to alfresco dining and afternoons spent out in the sun. If you haven’t already, it’s time to update your garden, giving the space a well-needed revamp. This year, why not opt for a little taste of Morocco? 

This year, Sainsbury’s have been inspired by the rich red, amber and ochre tones of earth, stone and sand to bring the new Hinterland Outdoors collection to life and Britain has already gone mad for it. Inspired by African and South American style and design, the new collection features a mixture of artisan-style picnic ware mixed with tribal prints and copper overtones, Aztec cushions and beautifully printed plates that will have you setting up a little corner of paradise in your very own garden.

Dream yourself to distant shores with cool, experienced designs. Embrace a sense of fun and adventure with animal ornaments and channel the style of sunnier climes with patterned floor cushions and serving platters in a vivid colour palette. For al fresco dining, the Hinterland Outdoors range has all you need to make your table look sensational – from colourful sharing platters to lovely lanterns.

Whether you pick a single item or go all out, this vibrant new collection from Sainsbury’s will give your outdoor space a fresh twist this season, adding colour, pattern and style. One of our favourite pieces is a copper tray, perfect for serving the grand masterpiece on. Once empty, watch the sunrays gleam onto the dish and why not extend the copper theme by giving your foliage a boost with the copper planter? Similarly serve a juicy salad on one of the tribal printed platters and watch friends tuck into colourful bursts of food. With matching servers and crudité dishes, your party just got hotter!

When the sun goes down, garden lighting becomes the must have accessory. LED lights are a necessity when it comes to alfresco dining as not only are they more efficient than normal lights but you can get them in a variety of colours. Fairy lights and lanterns are also popular this year but don’t forget about the traditional candle. Sainsbury’s triple candle lantern will illuminate your table whilst keeping it tidy and on trend – we love it.

Blankets and cushions are a perfect addition during those hazy summer evenings and why not add a little amusement with a wicker ornament in such as Alex the Alpaca?

So what are you waiting for? Sit back and relax or turn your garden into an outdoor dining room to entertain friends. The new Hinterland Outdoors collection is available at selected Sainsbury’s stores now. For more information, head to sainsburyshome.co.uk
