HOW TO

STYLE YOUR PARASOL

"I’ve enjoyed bringing together these sometimes surprising colours to create harmonious designs. I wanted to inspire people to embrace colour and theatricality, there are no rights and wrongs, just an opportunity to have fun."

STYLING WITH BLUES

Playing with harmony & contrast

Coastal Cool with White Furniture

Pair light blue shades with white outdoor seating for a breezy, seaside-inspired look. Enhance the coastal vibe with striped tablecloths and vases of wildflowers for an alfresco brunch.

Bold Against Red Brick Walls

Blue parasols stand out beautifully against warm red brick, creating a chic and fresh aesthetic. Add white cushions to keep the look cohesive and elegant.

Perfect with Lush Greenery

Blue parasols blend gently with vibrant foliage, offering a calming, balanced tone. Complement the look with complementary table and chairs, and contrasting coloured tableware.

STYLING WITH GREENS

Perfectly Paired with Nature

Creating Contrast

Allow the green parasol pair harmoniously with the greenery of your garden and have fun contrasting with details. To make a bold focal point, we love adding a scattering of contrasting cushions, or a small vase of bright coloured flowers in reds and pinks.

DARE TO CLASH

There's nothing quite as liberating as playing with colour clashing. With green parasols, don't be afraid to pair with bright oranges like the above image, or contrast with deep reds and burgundies. If you have lots of orange and pink flowers blooming in your garden, a green parasol might be the perfect choice.

Playing with pastels

Elegant and refined, soft green tones will harmonise beautifully into a leafy setting, enhancing a sense of calm. Create a dreamy Art Nouveau setting, with crisp table linens and delicate cut flowers in a crystal vase.

STYLING WITH YELLOWS

A Sunny Accent for Any Space

LET YOUR GARDEN INSPIRE YOU

Consider the surrounding foliage when choosing your parasol, and play with complementary tones. In the above example the Goldie Round bamboo Parasol and neutral deckchairs harmonise beautifully with the yellow-green planting, and the cushions add a lovely unexpected contrast.

Radiant Against a Blue Sky

A yellow parasol pops vividly against a cloudless sky, bringing cheerful energy to your space. The bountiful bowls of citrus fruits and vases of happy flowers create a bright, joyful space for a morning coffee or family brunch.

Let the sun shine in

The underside of our parasols are designed to bring you joy as you gaze upwards. In this case, the warm yellow inside brings a happy glow to this setting and a fabulous complementary contrast with the purple flowers blooming in the background.

If you love pink, revel in it and bring forth your inner Barbie. Adding pink flowers, cushions, and even pink cakes to this table setting creates a fun, whimsical theatricality that makes every gathering feel like a celebration.

Tickled pink

Some parasols are just a joy to style. If your parasol is a festival of colour, like our Natasha Round Bamboo Parasol, choosing any of the colours in the design is a great please to start. Pair with fuchsia pink cushions, peach cotton napkins, or simple blush pink table cloth.
