STAPLE FURNITURE PIECES FOR SUMMER

Whether you're giving your living space a facelift or looking to make your patio or outside area a little more inviting, keeping an eye on the current trends can mean the difference between success and failure. As a result of the pandemic, the focus has fallen firmly on bringing the outside in. However, this doesn't mean your home has to play host to plants and floral designs. While these are definitely on-trend, there are other ways to ensure that your home reflects your up-to-the-minute intentions, combined with a statement about who you are and how you live your life. If you're looking for summer inspiration, check out the CB2 selection of both indoor and outdoor furniture.

Appreciating the Great Outdoors

If you’re not someone who wants to ram their rooms with plants and planters, the way forward is with softer edging. The pandemic has revealed a greater appreciation of a more natural way of living, and it's possible to reflect this without turning your home into a greenhouse. If you're looking to spruce up your patio or garden area, start with planters made from more natural materials, such as unglazed terracotta or professional-weathered metal. Even if your interiors are defiantly contemporary, these can help show your appreciation of the outside world, the elements, and nature as a whole. Similarly, look for outdoor sofas, chairs, and tables made from natural materials. The CB2 collection holds both contemporary and rustic options, allowing you to choose those best suited to the themes you want to project.

Softer is in the spotlight

When it comes to indoor furniture, the accent is on softer corners. While the obvious choice is wood, we can also offer indoor furniture with a more comforting appeal than square, harder lines. Look for sofas made with softer, lighter-coloured fabrics. For larger rooms, sectional sofas are the perfect way to contour your living room without compromising its aesthetic appeal. For the dining room, round-edged tables are coming into the spotlight, slightly diffusing the way diners sit so that no one person is typically the 'head of the table.' Similarly, bedrooms can benefit from bed frames that are less definitive about the space they occupy, offering a more ambient and laid-back feel to a room.

Choosing for children

Choosing summer furniture isn't just the monopoly of grownups. If you're looking for summer furniture for your children, make CB2 your one-stop-shop.
