REWORK AN EXISTING ROOM OR EXTENSION TO CREATE A LIGHT-FILLED SPACE THAT BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN INDOORS AND OUT
For a similar armchair, try the American Oak Beaumont stripe chair, £820, Sustainable Furniture
YEAR-ROUND APPEAL
Turn a summer hotspot into a four-season room by introducing cosy and comfortable furniture and textile choices. Opt for upholstered seating which can be dressed up or down as the weather changes - think lightweight linens in summer and cosier covers when it's colder.

Oslo pendant light, £292, Eclectic Niche, is similar. For similar chairs, try the Synthetic rattan dining chair in Blue Mist, £119.95, Sklum
FABRIC MATTERS
Bright sunshine can bleach fabrics, making your choice of blinds and furnishings crucial. You could opt for fade-free and purpose-made materials to ensure longevity. Alternatively, go for lighter and whiter coloured options that keep their looks for longer. Canvas and denims look better with age, while bleaching sunshine keeps whites bright.

Fabrics, from a selection at Dekoria. For similar lights, try the large Luna wooden beaded chandelier Light, £295, The Wall Lighting Co
