May is a merry whirl of bank holidays spent, with any luck, sipping Pimm’s at convivial al fresco get-togethers – capricious weather permitting, of course. But even as our minds turn to the great outdoors, so too do we have renewed energy for sprucing up our homes, freshening them up for the incoming months when sunshine will be streaming through the windows (everything crossed). These are the finds that we have eyes on this May.
