The May Edit
8th May 2025
You've planted. You've pruned. You've swept, styled, and maybe even jet washed. But something still feels; unfinished? That's the tricky part about creating a garden you truly love: it’s not just about the big elements, but the little touches that make it your space.
This month’s edit is all about those thoughtful details that complete the picture. A classic station clock that keeps time while you lose track of it. A barometer to read the weather like a pro (or simply look impressive trying). A mirror that reflects light and personality in equal measure. A parasol that says, “Yes, I will be sitting here with a chilled drink all afternoon.”
Practical, beautiful, and often overlooked – these are the finishing touches that pull it all together, turning a lovely outdoor space into a much-loved one. It’s the ease of a shaded garden lunch, the quiet pleasure of watching the clouds roll in, the confidence that every piece in your home—indoors or out—is working hard, looking good, and standing the test of time. Because your garden deserves just as much thought as your interiors…
Challenger Premium Parasol 3m Square Natural
If you’ve ever found yourself shuffling chairs around the garden to escape the midday sun, this one’s for you. The Challenger Premium Parasol is made for those long, sun-soaked afternoons when all you want to do is stay exactly where you are. With its elegant cantilever arm and 360-degree rotation, the canopy moves to match the sun—so you don’t have to. A clever double-tilt system means it angles forwards, backwards, and from side to side with barely a nudge, locking smoothly into place. Whether you're reading, dining, or dozing by the pool, the shade stays exactly where it’s needed.
While the function is clever, the design of this parasol is just as considered. The robust stainless-steel frame is housed in corrosion-resistant aluminium, built to withstand British summers—and the off-season too. The 9m² canopy, made from premium solution-dyed fabric, resists fading from sun, water and dirt, keeping its natural tones summer after summer. Available in Natural or Manhattan Grey, it’s the perfect partner for our Ceramica Base and outdoor furniture collections like Porthallow or Lynton—offering understated luxury with everyday ease.
Tenby Barometer in Carbon
Meet the Tenby Barometer—a discreet yet practical way to stay one step ahead of the elements. Designed to measure atmospheric pressure, it quietly signals what’s to come. A drop in pressure? Rain may be on the way. A gentle rise? Perhaps time to set the table outside. It’s weatherproofed to withstand the very thing it measures, and available in the same elegant colour palette as other pieces in the Tenby collection, for a seamless match.
Titchberry Folding Plant Stand Large Natural
Large enough to create impact, yet light enough to move wherever you need a little charm, the Titchberry Folding Plant Stand brings a sense of order and elegance to even the most haphazard corners. For those tired of bending over scattered pots or wishing their favourite plants were more visible, this is a simple solution. Position it beside the back door for herbs you can snip as you cook or place it by the front gate to greet guests with a trail of tumbling blooms. It folds away effortlessly when not in use—perfect for those of us who love a tidy shed or need to reclaim space when entertaining.
Ramsbury Rug 200x300cm Grey
When you want to extend your living space outdoors, start from the ground up—literally. The Ramsbury Rug, in calm grey tones, turns hard decking or cool stone into something far softer underfoot. Made from PET yarn (which, yes, is spun from recycled plastic bottles), it looks and feels just like wool, yet shrugs off summer showers and muddy paws alike. Use it to zone a seating area beneath the pergola, or layer it indoors in high-traffic spots like hallways or kitchens—it’s practical, durable, and gentle on the eye.
Fulbrook Arched Mirror
Creating an outdoor space that feels as considered as your interiors? That’s where the Fulbrook Arched Mirror comes in. Inspired by traditional windowpane designs, it adds character, depth, and a sense of calm symmetry to any space by echoing the look of classic garden structures—instantly enhancing any wall it’s placed against. Use it outdoors to reflect sky, planting and greenery—especially effective in smaller or shaded areas—or bring it indoors to add elegance to a hallway or conservatory. Blurring the boundaries between inside and out, it’s a piece that transforms the feel of a living area with architectural charm, without overpowering it.
