How to create a holiday vibe at home

For sunny decks and verandahs, cacti and hardy palms are an great choice for greenery. Choose sun-loving flowers such as those from the succulent family to provide long-lasting colour, e.g. Kalanchoe pumila.

Layered outdoor rugs and vintage-style cushions make this look perfect for a beautiful villa verandah. The rug is from Collected Living.

When choosing a colour palette be inspired by the sun-bleached hues of the desert, coupled with colours you’d find in cactus blooms.

Hanging chairs are a space-effective seating solution as well as embodying relaxation.
