We’re following SAINSBURY’S

@SAINSBURYS

#WE LOVE the fact that Sainsbury’s has been on our high street for an incredible 147 years and is still going strong. Where else can you buy ingredients for a killer barbecue – complete with tableware, glasses and charcoal – and pick up a pair of emergency sunnies all under one roof? #WE SAW four key trends for the season ahead – Botanist, Orchard, Moroccan Blue and Coastal, each of which had plenty of style staples that caught our eye.

#WE DIG the Essential Style collection, the brand’s capsule range of everyday must-haves with a luxe edge. Think Egyptian cotton towels, 400 threadcount linens and goose-filled bedding for less than the price of your weekly shop.

#WE LUSTED AFTER the copper-look kitchen accessories. Specifically, the Copper finish range, including an Ice Bucket, a steal at £15. What better way to chill your prosecco this summer?

#WE LEARNED that Sainsbury’s is currently the tenth largest retailer of homeware in the uk. Surprisingly, for a supermarket, its non-food ranges are also outperforming consumables and growing at double the rate.

#WE’RE BUYING the painterly blue plates from the Moroccan Blue range for our alfresco gatherings this season.

#WE CAN’T WAIT to see what’s in store for the new collections, such as flower Market and Modern Living (see previews, above and below). for autumn, we’ve been told that the great British countryside is the inspiration and features on plenty of in-house designed prints and patterns. You heard it here first! sainsburys.co.uk
