Despite what the recent spring showers would have you believe, sunny days are on the way, and pretty soon, you'll be swapping out that sodden umbrella for a different kind of weather protector. At least, only if you can find one that will fit in your tiny outdoor space. And that's why this Freestanding Balcony Parasol from John Lewis is pure genius.
By dividing it straight down the middle, this clever half-parasol design is perfectly suited to keeping your compact space sun-safe all summer long — and it doubles up as an extra layer of privacy, too. Even for the most loyal sun-worshippers among us, a good garden parasol is an absolute essential during the summer months. Without a solid option for shade, your suntrap garden will be downright unusable come August, and you'll find yourself splayed out on your bed, your head pressed up as close as humanly possible to the tiny electric fan in the corner of your room.
