Be in your garden... or by the sea in LA... or near the kasbah in Morocco... or relaxing in the south of France... with a scheme inspired by your favourite holiday spot...

Get the look with 5 key essentials:

• Bright planting Buy exotic blooms for your borders, or paint containers and plant pots in striking colours, so you'll still have colour even after the flowers are gone.
• Shady places Stretch a sheet of fabulously coloured fabric over a seating area, or invest in a sun sail or arbour so you can stay in the shade while still keeping it bright.
• Lit-up lanterns The key to having Mediterranean-style nights is to light up the garden or an arbour like a trattoria - with as many tealight holders and lanterns as possible.
• Colourful accessories Buy bright plastic glasses for summer drinks, hot-pink and lime green cushions for relaxing on and tealight lanterns for some instant holiday style.
• Sunny souvenirs Put your personality into your garden with souvenirs you've picked up on your travels. There's no reason why exotic tiles, hand-blown glass and ceramic bowls should only be kept in the house.
