The Ocean Collection comes in concrete green or black (chair, £206, table, from £462). Or try Next's Bali bench set (£899). HOME COMFORTS Flashy flamer: The Phoenix Flower brazier (£260) Beautiful cushions add luxury to your garden. For a splash of colour and cheer, try the Fermob Trefle outdoor cushions, (from £52).
