Escape into Summer with these Home Accessories

seat cushions from H&M

It’s not that I’m suffering from writer’s block, but it seems hard to know what to say at the moment that isn’t trite, or stupid or just a little bit pointless. But you don’t come here for that and so I’m not going to give you that.

What I have found is a collection of rather gorgeous summer accessories from H&M which, if you’ve been spending a bit of time in the garden, will dress it up a treat.

I don’t know about you but sometimes just staring at a beautiful picture makes me feel a bit calmer. It’s the visual equivalent of a deep breath. And I could just happily dip a toe into that beautiful sea green water in the image above.

And because all the products are from H&M you know they’re not going to break the bank.

Then, when you’ve had your dip and dried off on those colourful beach towels, imagine sitting down here for dinner and, minus the blurry view in the background, this is a look we could achieve in our own gardens and on our own balconies.

Finished off with a nap in this rather lovely black bedlinen. I’ve never had black bed sheets fearing it might all be a tad playboy but this works don’t you think?

Visual deep breathing exercises over. I feel better for that. Do you?

  1. Thanks Kate – very refreshing thank you. Just wishing that leafy green towel was a duvet cover, as that would suit my new green bed so well.

  2. You are completely right Kate. I think it’s important to keep up at least a semblance of normality to calm us down in these troubled times. Will pop over to H & M Home cuz that tableware is talking to me…..

  3. you got to love a bit of H & M – accessible interiors that as you say, don’t make us feel too guilty about the price tag.

    and yes, staring at images like these does indeed induce a bit of calm for sure so you’re great therapy….. after another restless night trying to adapt to our new climate ….. 🙂
