How do you nail the laid-back luxe of Ibiza? Each person has his own take, says interior designer Katrina Philps, who divides her time between London and her finca on the Balearic island and who was responsible for redecorating the house Jade Jagger called home – the one with the disco ball over the pool. She kept the disco ball incidentally but for her “it’s all about introducing a sense of calm and peace rather than a discotheque of colour. It’s about the authenticity and history of the island with some sunset shades thrown in.” This cotton and jute Ibiza Costa rug by Brink and Campman, adorned with scribbled effect diamonds and stripes, has the requisite splash of sunset and comes in various sizes which start from about €383, ex delivery, from UK-based Amara (0044 800 587 7645 amara.com)

The insulated ceramics and airtight cooking chamber ensure that the moisture and flavour of foods are retained when using the Big Green Egg. The barbecue’s level of insulation means that the external surface never reaches the temperatures of metal cookers, minimising the chances of burns. It comes in several sizes and ranges in price from €749 to €4,999 and can be customized to your requirements. The collection includes a variety of stands, side shelves and tables. All are available at the Garden House (thegardenhouse.ie) in Malahide (01 531 2020) and Dundrum (01 531 20100).
