Broste Copenhagen Plant Stand – Summertime is synonymous with outdoor living and communing with nature.

rug
Geometric Natural Outdoor Rug – Rugs don’t just add cosy vibes and visual interest to indoor areas, they can totally elevate open-air spaces as well – they just need to be made from durable, weather-proof materials. If you’re looking to add sophistication to your balcony or terrace, we personally think this gorgeous neutral-toned rug is the perfect start. It relies mostly on texture to make an impact, which makes it versatile and easier to combine with the rest of your furniture.
