New Art Ideas for Al Fresco Dining


The John Dyer Gallery is delighted to introduce its new ‘Al Fresco Dining’ collection, a colourful range of art-inspired home décor, prints and posters designed to bring creativity, comfort and vibrant colour to outdoor dining and entertaining spaces.


This summer, outdoor dining is about more than simply taking a meal into the garden. It is about creating a space that lifts the spirits and encourages conversation.


As more people blur the boundary between home and garden, colourful art is becoming an increasingly popular way to extend personal style beyond the back door and create outdoor spaces that are as joyful as the memories made within them.

At The John Dyer Gallery, colour has always been at the heart of every collection. With subjects inspired by Cornwall, the British coastline, Provence, Italy and many more of the world’s most beautiful landscapes, there is a collection to complement every outdoor entertaining style.

“There is something magical about bringing art outdoors in summer, where it becomes part of long lunches, sea breezes and memorable al fresco dining with family and friends. Our colourful collection of art cushions, framed prints and posters offers an effortless way to transform a patio, balcony or garden into a beautiful outdoor retreat. Layer vibrant cushions across benches and seating, then add framed artwork to sheltered entertaining spaces to surround your table with images that evoke favourite places, treasured memories and inspiring adventures.”
