- Greet guests with shapely furniture pieces and fun accessories in varying shades of pink, from bright fuchsia and hot magenta to bubblegum or candy-coloured pink, adding in small pops of sea blue and sunshine yellow for a sweetie-style colour palette that looks good enough to eat.

- A pergola is ideal for offering shade when needed–why not hang some hot-pink sheer curtains from it to set the scene? Layer up outdoor rugs, add in a statement pink sofa or armchairs and voila... your own Barbie-style garden set.

- Your outside space may not have the luxury of a pool, but that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy poolside chic. Invest in some cool Miami-style loungers, pink and white striped beach towels and refreshing drinks to while away the hours in the sun. Why not add in some inflatables, too, to really ramp up that poolside vibe!

- Have fun creating your own pretty-in-pink bar area, with an inspired drinks menu, cocktails on tap and, of course, plenty of pink! Large glass drinks dispensers are ideal for guests to help themselves, while bar carts on wheels are handy to roll to wherever you need them.

- Outdoor lights that look like indoor lamps are bang on trend this summer, so opt for some LED or solar-powered designs to cast a glow once the sun goes down.

- Artworks aren't just for indoors–hang a selection of slogan prints and pictures outside for a fun feature. Don't forget, if they're not under cover, you may need to invest in a canopy to keep them in good condition until the end of summer. You can always go all out and paint your fence panels or an exterior wall too.

- Put together a wow-factor background to pose against and take snaps with friends. Use one of Wayfair’s decorating arches to create a balloon or floral arch and don't forget some dressing-up props to have fun with.
