I’ve long been a fan of British homeware brand Loaf, whose laid-back designs blend timeless elegance with up-to-the-minute rustic and industrial touches, so I was excited to see some lovely new products land on its website this week. The just-launched items include five sofas and the intriguingly named ‘Shortbread' bed, plus more than 20 additional fabric choices in soft, powdery pastels – . . .
Outdoor living inspiration
