Rest in the country: 15 essential things for a country house

LET THE SUMMER IS NOT OUT OF THE MOST SOLAR AND WARM, the trip out of town has not been canceled. Instead of a traditional bike ride or barbecue near the river, most of the activities can be transferred to a warm house or to a glazed veranda. A grill is easy to organize right on the site. We talk about 15 useful, functional and just nice interior items that will transform your suburban property.

Chaise lounge Crate & Barrel

Vacation at sea is not in the plans for the next six months? Sit back in a Crate & Barrel lounger in the company of a heavy book and a carafe of lemonade - nature in the Moscow region will immediately seem no worse than European beaches or tropical forests of Asia. Only a blanket warmer do not forget.

Crate & Barrel Corn Grill

If everything is clear with kebabs and you can find meat in the marinade in any large store, then you should take care of vegetarian options in advance. Crate & Barrel, for example, has a grid for grilled corn - a hearty and healthy dish that can be supplemented with eggplants, carrots, zucchini and mushrooms, cooked on ordinary skewers. This grid-grill has been bought up in Moscow stores - you can ask to bring friends from abroad or also pay attention to the grill basket, in which you can fry asparagus or potatoes on coals.

$16

IKEA Charcoal Grill

A miniature version that can be placed even on the veranda, if the weather again presents a surprise. We advise you to additionally buy a cover for the grill that will protect the structure from dust, rain and falling leaves.

Crate & Barrel picnic paper plates

If there are problems with hot water in the country and you are not ready to wash two ceremonial sets in the cold after a feast, change the rules of the game and hand guests to the nice striped paper plates. For lunch on the veranda or barbecue for dinner - the most it. In a set of 12 plates - enough for one feast.

Kate Spade Cymbal Set

For a late breakfast on the veranda, a set of assorted plates with funny patterns and fruits than the ceremonial service will be much more suitable - and even breaking one of these plates, running between the kitchen and the veranda, will not be so bad.

Pinata Dolphin Urban Outfitters

The tradition of the solemn destruction of the piñata in Russia still has not taken root - and this, meanwhile, is one of the easiest and most pleasant ways to relieve the tension accumulated on weekdays and have fun with friends. So feel free to engage in cultural exchange and begin to mutate the papier-mâché for your pleasure; this dolphin, however, would rather just hang in a room for beauty sake.

Radio and speakers SunnyLife

What is a party without music? Leave the player with the plates for the winter get-togethers in the apartment - a pretty portable retroradio-receiver, which is connected to a mobile phone or MP3 player, is more likely to be suitable for giving.

Urban Outfitters Conch Garland

Luminous garland can be found in the nearest IKEA, but the options are more interesting to order at Urban Outfitters - now for lanterns and other trifles for the house on the site there is a discount. We like the shimmering shells, which can decorate the porch, veranda or one of the living room walls.

IKEA umbrella

Another sign of this summer is umbrellas and awnings, which this year protect not from the scorching sun, but from the drizzling rain. The most simple and practical models can be found in IKEA: the constructions are not afraid of moisture or direct sunlight, and for the winter they are easy to put in the garage.

Suspended design for flowers Urban Outfitters

Even if in your apartment nothing survives except dust, it is a good idea to try planting your country estates. Moisture and light in the country is much more than in the city, and some plants can be taken out on an open veranda by placing them in suspended structures.

Box for organizing trivia BoConcept

Gardening and growing a mini-jungle on the windowsill and the site is a great way to relieve tension and aerate your head.

Tools such as pruners, washer and scissors are most conveniently stored in box-sections like those sold in the stationery department.
