Summer retreat

Paint your shed mint green and sky blue, then add some classic wicker furniture for the ultimate retreat at the end of your garden. Give it a homely feel with cushions in retro floral prints and a pretty painting. Add a rug for extra comfort, and hang a voile curtain across the door so you can shelter from the sun but still enjoy the breeze.
Shop for the look: Focus, Cath Kidston, Lloyd Loom.
