Another summer at home is before us and while we may not have been able to jett-set off to any exotic lands far, far away – there’s no reason we can’t bring a little bit of Europe to our backyards.
Nothing says European summer like al fresco dining, beautiful table settings, candlelit nights, and delicious food and wine.
Whether you’re dreaming of a long lunch at a 16th century chateau, gazing over the cascading vines of Bordeaux wine country; or you’re pining for a sunset aperitif overlooking the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, followed by fresh, flame-grilled seafood.
We may not be dusting off the passports just yet, but there’s nothing stopping you from taking inspiration from Europe’s sexiest holiday destinations and creating a space in your own backyard that feels like a never-ending holiday.
Again, we’ve trawled only the best Australian and New Zealand designer homeware stores - so you don’t have to.
