Dreaming of a coastal getaway this summer, but haven't booked anything in yet? This season's biggest interiors trend (more on that in a second) will quite literally help you beat the pre-holiday blues...
Blue and white is this summer's trendiest colour palette, appearing in countless interiors collections and Pinterest boards of late. And, it's no longer just a colourway for nautical-themed bathrooms, the combination of blue and white – be it spots, stripes, and beyond – works for any and all spaces at home.
Jump on the trend and transport yourself to the glistening French Riviera from the comfort of your garden or balcony with Next's blue and white stripe tablecloth. It's made from 100% cotton and comes in a variety of sizes to fit any table, big or small. Depending on which one you opt for, the price ranges from £24 to £32. Best of all, the wipe-clean finish of this tablecloth makes it ideal for outdoor dining, so you never need to worry about spaghetti spills or the occasional British rainstorm.
If you really fancy leaning into the blue and white aesthetic, pair this trendy tablecloth with matching tableware. We're absolutely obsessed with these blue and white patterned pasta bowls, also from Next, as well as these matching etched tumbler glasses. In fact, we're going to add everything from this coastal-themed collection to our basket right now.
Waiter, I'll have a glass of Côtes de Provence and the Niçoise salad, please. Oh, go on, throw in the Parmesan and truffle pommes frites as well!
