The White Company just launched an inspirational collection of affordable luxury home essentials - my basket is full

I'm caught between investing in these delicate little fish and some summery ceramic shell napkin rings. Both give that put-together look to your table.

You won't get far (or keep your table ring-free) without some placemats and these hand-braided seagrass ones will give a natural, rustic look to your outdoor dining set-up.

I cannot resist a tea towel, especially ones which are seasonal. These crab ones are a classic, made luxurious with the crisp cotton thread and clean lines.

This will effortlessy elevate any table or picnic. With fun nautical embroidery, it's a winning style that you'll keep for years. Plus, the linen-cotton blend is as delightful as it is practical.

There's a whole Melamine collection, from bowls to plates is drenched in European chic. You cannot beat the clean white colour and soft curves of this collection.

Whether you use this for decoration, for fruit, or for stones you collected on the beach, seagrass enhances the rustic, organic style of any and every home that it sits in.

Whether you have outdoor sofas, deep loveseats, or you want a comfy way to create picnic space, these thick, comfy seats are both hardwearing and beautiful. There's a coordinating tablecloth too.

If you're out eating late and you want to create some ambiance, you'll love this little lantern. Alternatively, there's a woven jute lantern for something a little more rustic.

I love an outdoor chair, but they are rarely comfortable. This thick seat pad comes in a nautical blue-and-white stripe pattern that would look perfect with my tablescaping collection above.

You'll need a tray for bring out lemonades and fruity snacks when lounging outside and I wouldn't choose anything other than this bamboo serving tray. It's simple, light, and durable too.

I am a big fan of the outdoor drinks set up and these heart stirrers are perfect for all my drinks. Imagine a glass full of crushed ice and cocktails with one of these stirrers. Girls night, here we come.

This nautical stripe is all over The White Company's Summer Collection, but the most appropriate place for it to be is on a beach towel. You can actually buy this as a garden lounger towel cover with pockets too

The White Company's vases are second to none. This round white glass vase looks as good with greenery as it does full to the brim with bright and beautiful flowers.

As it gets warmer, you'll need this mister for your plants. It's simple, elegant, and will certainly be used for misting my face when I'm overheating too.

I love a little planter and this simple, ribbed ceramic one looks beautiful with everything from herbs to leafy plants in. It's available in medium and large too, for your all your botanicals.

Jute is perfect for having texture on your hard floors in the summer without it getting too hot. It's robust enough to have on the patio or by your door. I love this.

These delicate photo frames aren't actually part of the summer collection, but they fit so perfectly with the simple style on offer in the collection that I had to throw them in. Get your holiday snaps up.

Seychelles is The White Company's best-selling candle and it's easy to see why. With notes of vanilla and coconut, it's summer in a candle - this botanic one has shells cast in the mould too.
