Dopamine Décor for Dreary Days

Let’s be honest - we had plans. Aperol in the sun, feet up on the new bistro set, smug Instagram story. Instead? Showers, soggy lawn furniture, and one too many group chats saying, “Shall we just cancel?”

But all is not lost. Because rain = permission to treat yourself, plan ahead, and make your space feel good now.

Here’s how to bring a little sunshine back into your life - no matter what it looks like outside.

1. Pick Your Vibe

Relaxed and rustic? Bright and playful? Chic and minimal? Once you've nailed the mood, choosing new pieces becomes effortless. We've done the hard bit for you with our 6 curated edits - take a look here if you're struggling for inspo.

2. Map Your Space

Grab a rough sketch (or your phone camera) and take stock of what you’re working with. Where does the sun hit? What’s your view from inside? This helps make smart furniture decisions — no wasted space or awkward corners.

3. Choose a Hero Piece

Pick one standout piece to anchor your space, for example our charming bistro sets or striking parasols. Everything else can build around it.

4. Mix Function with Fun

Think layers: lighting, textiles, colour, planters. Make it functional for hosting, but don’t forget those playful touches that make it yours. We think our Mushroom light adds the perfect touch of whimsy. 

5. Create a Wish List

Use a Notes app or Pinterest board to save your favourite products (ours, of course 😜). That way, when the sun finally shows up, you’re ready to click ‘add to cart’ and go.

So while the weather may be a bit of a washout, your vibe doesn’t have to be. Stay in, switch on your glowiest lamp, and lean all the way into feel-good home energy. The sun will be back - and you’ll be ready for it. 🌤️
