Summertime offers the chance to enjoy your favourite food and drinks in the beauty of the great outdoors. Parks provide a local way to make the most of a lunch break, a picnic, or to simply relax with the sun. Here at Homecolours, we love the opportunity to make the most of quality time spent outside.
Around this time of year, the picnic experience is given added focus with Love Parks Week. Running from July 24 to August 2, the week is an annual celebration of everything we enjoy about the parks.
The following are some lovely ideas for discovering the ideal ways to enjoy the green spaces on our doorsteps.
Stretching out and relaxing in the park on a sunny day is just one of the delights presented by a nice summer day. The above inflatable Lamzac lounger by Fatboy provides a lovely way to take it easy.
The lounger is made with waterproof fabric making it ideal for all sorts of different locations. Easy to inflate and position, it is a lovely way to rest and take in the peace of the park.
Comfort and style are also brought out with the Ferm Living Strand Outdoor Cushion. Made using organic cotton and including a UV and water-repellent coating, the cushion is perfect for outdoor use.
Available in a variety of colour and pattern choices, the cushion is a gorgeous way of adding comfort and style to a park trip.
Park life is also often about sports and games. Little ones will find an ideal source of amusement with the above interactive Activity Balls by Konges Slojd. Designed in different textures and cut-out shapes, the balls will also present an opportunity to develop motor skills and coordination through play.
Another great idea for some play in the park is made with the Printworks Beach Tennis Set. Finished in the striking stripes of the Fresco Bol design, the set includes two short-handled racquets and a rubber ball.
Great for enjoying a simple game of grass short tennis, the set comes with a travel bag to keep the set together.
Enjoying a lovely picnic in the park is made simple to organise with the above Ferm Living Bark Picnic Bag.
A wonderful combination of function and style, the bag is the ideal accompaniment to a park trip. Made using top-quality organic cotton with a waxed finish, the durable and weatherproof bag is great for a trip to the park. Generously sized and offering a variety of pockets, the strong and secure bag is a fine way to arrange your next park picnic.
