KEEP WARM WHEN IT'S COOL OUTDOORS

While chimineas and firepits add outdoor warmth in the evenings, everyone's clothes invariably end up smelling of smoke afterwards. Though patio heaters may not be the most environmentally friendly appliances, if you position them properly and use them sparingly, they will deliver a hefty dose of heat to ensure you stay warm when the sun goes down. This ingenious overhead pendant light doubles as a heater too, keeping you both cosy and illuminated after dark.

WFH IN THE SUN

Make the most of the fresh air this summer and swap your home office hideaway for a jolly new spot in the sunshine. This clever multipurpose desk comes with two handy folding chairs for much needed extra seating, while at weekends you can plant the built-in trough with herbs and use the extra surface as an additional prep space for barbecues.
