The retailer has unveiled the two homeware collections that comprise its summer 2022 range. One is inspired by the Mediterranean, with terracotta vases and rattan lampshades. The other takes optimism for its theme, with bold colours and clashing prints on rugs and cushions.

I know – we have one warm bank holiday weekend and everyone starts talking about summer. If, however, you are wishing that the sunniest season was already here, there are ways to bring it forward. At least, when it comes to your interiors. Habitat has unveiled its summer homeware collections and, although the full range isn’t out till May, there are some items available to shop already. 

Based on two themes – the Mediterranean and optimism – Habitat’s new range has something for every summer mood. Whether you’re all about a relaxed, rustic feel (the Mediterannean collection is for you) or whether you embrace the positivity and vibrant colours of summer in all their glory (the Optimism collection should suit you), it’s worth a look. In the Mediterranean collection, you can expect earth tones, bright azure blues and natural materials like terracotta and rattan. As for the optimism edit, it references some of Habitat’s 80s designs with bright, colour-blocked pieces and clashing patterns. 

Some of the most eye-catching pieces of the collection, such as the hand-blown tumblers and the azure and terracotta vase, aren’t available to shop just yet. But fortunately, there are plenty of treats you can snap up this instant. Highlights include the blue Estelle beanbag chair, which will give your living room a lift and provide extra seating; the retro Banquo wall light, as useful as it is visually pleasing; and the orange embossed metal plant pot – because why shouldn’t the pot be as much of a feature as the plant itself? 

Here are some of the best bits from the Habitat summer range that you can shop now. 

• Habitat quilted beanbag in blue

  All the comfort and squishiness of a bean bag with the silhouette of a more structured chair – you get the best of both worlds with this seat. It’s available in azure blue for those who like things bold or olive green for a more subtle feel.

  There’s making a feature out of storage and then there’s making a statement.

But, if you’re not ready to go full sunshine just yet, it’s also available in a much more minimalist-friendly grey shade.
