Summer Updates: Ahead of the Curve
It's that blissful time of year where the days are long, the sun is shining (interspersed with the occasional English shower!) and nature is in full bloom.
Now is the perfect time to give your space a well-deserved seasonal tweak and welcome summer into your home. We've asked the Tom Raffield team to reveal five of their all-time favourite designs to help create a relaxed summer feel and bring the outdoors in.
The Cape Wall Light
Nothing screams "Cornish summer" quite like its famous coastline. There's a good reason why thousands flock to Cornwall every summer; the Azure blue sea and golden sandy beaches inspire fun and awe in equal measure.
Our Cape Wall Light is similarly inspired by Cornwall's glorious coastline and takes inspiration from the barrelling wake of a wave. Let the Cape redefine your concept of coastal...
Available in ash, oak or walnut, our Cape Wall Light is very versatile, although we love it in a living room or bedroom space.
The Taffrail
A light, cool and airy bathroom is a must-have for any stylish interior, and a space that really comes into it's own during a long hot summer. Our Taffrail provides a bathroom-friendly storage solution - the perfect place to drape throws, towels or hang sandy beach clothes.
A strong contemporary, lean-to hanging rail featuring three horizontal rails handcrafted from sustainably sourced solid oak, the Taffrail takes inspiration from a traditionally ornate ship stern before bending to our fresh take on minimalist design.
Our Taffrail can also be utilised in your bedroom or hallway - wherever simple, smart storage is required!
The Morvah Ceiling Hanging Planter
What better way to introduce summer to your home than by bringing nature indoors? Whether it's housing fresh herbs in the kitchen for making homemade pesto and garnishing cocktails or providing the perfect home for trailing succulents, no summer interior is complete without indoor planters.
The Morvah Ceiling Hanging Planter, part of our lusted-after Green Range, is inspired by our connection to nature and celebrates the age-old traditions of steam bending and ceramics. The Morvah's hand-glazed, earthenware planter bowl is suspended by a piece of solid, steam bent oak making it a triumph of sustainable design.

The Hanter Table Light
A single, taut curve arcs from a solid oak wood base. A naked filament bulb hangs in suspension. Sometimes the simplest of designs are the most striking and our Hanter Table Light is simplicity at its most refined.
Our Hanter Table Light is the perfect companion to your summer interior; stripped back, no frills design that celebrates craftsmanship and biophilia.
The Hanter Table Light's unassuming design makes it an extremely versatile piece. Add simplicity to your bedroom, living room, office or hallway.
The Beeble Pouffe in Candy Pink
Summer is all about colour. Blue skies, green grass, pretty wild flowers in hedgerows. We believe your interior should reflect the vibrancy of summer's tonal palette too.
So why not opt for our Beeble Pouffe in Candy Pink and inject some colour into your interior this summer? Inspired by wild Cornish sea thrift, our Candy Pink Beeble Pouffe is a stylish yet classic furniture piece.
Our Beeble Pouffe in Candy Pink suits an array of interiors. From subtle blues to shades of washed-out green, our 100% wool fabric compliments many different colours and textures, making it a great choice for you home.
