the ultimate autumnal mood
Many of us have spent the summer creating inspirational outdoor spaces in which to relax, entertain and pass the time with loved ones. The end of the summer doesn’t have to mean all that hard work can no longer be enjoyed though, so we’re sharing our ideas and tips for stylish autumn alfresco dining.
From garden gatherings to laid-back lunches, our handcrafted ceramics are a truly conscious choice: featuring beautiful colors, unique patterns, versatile shapes and being durable enough to use outdoors, we can help elevate your entertaining this autumn, both indoors and out.
Echo the beauty of the garden by choosing a tableware collection inspired by nature such as our artisan Studio collections (Studio Grey, Studio Blue and Studio Craft), which feature tonal shades and textural glazes. Incorporate color by mix and matching ceramics from different ranges and accessorize with colorful jugs and pots that double up as containers for drinks and condiments. Create a simple yet striking centerpiece using foliage picked from the garden – for a truly rustic look, form an autumnal arrangement using seasonal fruit and vegetables such as mini pumpkins, squash and pears.
Bring the indoors outdoors and create cozy corners for guests to snuggle up to when it gets chilly. Rather than outdoor heaters, make a more conscious choice by setting out plenty of throws, cushions and rugs to stay nice and toasty. Plus, welcome friends with a homemade batch of warming drinks such as mulled cider, which can be made in advance.
Prepare hearty one-pot dishes using local, seasonal produce and warming spices; a great choice as they’re easy to make and perfect for sharing. Our Cast Iron casserole dishes in Pavilion, Natural Canvas or Halo make a colorful statement on the table, while the Studio Grey Large Ridged Bowl can be used to serve up an autumnal salad. Alternatively, recreate a feel of summer and fire up the barbecue for some winter grilling.
When the sun goes down, set the mood and create a soft ambiance using candles, solar-powered lanterns and fairy lights that illuminate the garden. Place tea lights in espresso cups to create a warm glow around the table, or why not craft your own paper or jar lanterns for that personal touch?
