Alfresco Made Beautiful

Alfresco, Made Beautiful: Our Guide to Effortless Outdoor Entertaining

Long lunches. Warm afternoons. Something delicious on the table and nowhere else you need to be.

That's our kind of entertaining.

And as the weather warms, some of the best moments happen outdoors.

Creating a beautiful alfresco setting doesn't require an elaborate tablescape. A few thoughtful pieces can completely change the feeling.

Keep things relaxed

Start with natural textures — timber, linen, woven placemats and relaxed ceramics.

Outdoor entertaining should never feel too precious. Pieces that can be mixed, layered and passed around the table create a much more inviting atmosphere.

Bring in colour

This season we're loving soft sage and olive greens alongside warm neutrals, with little touches of coral and mustard.

You don't need much. A coloured napkin, beautiful glassware or serving bowl can be enough to bring the whole table to life.

Make serving part of the styling

Beautiful platters, boards, bowls and jugs aren't just practical — they become part of your table.

Fill them with salads, breads, fruit, olives and all the things people can help themselves to.

Don't forget the finishing touches

Add greenery, candles or lanterns and plenty of comfortable cushions around your outdoor space.

Then pour something lovely, bring out the food and enjoy it.

Because outdoor entertaining should feel exactly like this:

Easy, beautiful and made for lingering a little longer.
