Tap into the colourful homewares trend without blowing the bank (The Independent)

With summer coming in hot and yet another bank holiday brewing, we’re all looking forward to some fun in the sun.

Whether you’re whipping out the paddling pool or excited to debut your new pub garden fit, the warmer weather is also our cue for dining alfresco, sun-soaked barbeques and picnics in the park.

With outdoor feasting firmly on the agenda, there’s no better time to breathe some colour and novelty into our kitchenware culinary repoirtoires.

Naturally, you might think to the It-girl of kitchenware French brand, Le Creuset. The brand is famed for its bang on trend enamel kitchenware, but of course those jazzy pots and pans don’t come cheap, with many clocking in at way over £100. So, when we spotted Brand Alley’s Le Creuset flash sale, we jumped.

As a gamechanger for fashion and homeware discounts, the retailer is offering up to 50 per cent off a selection of casserole dishes, teapots, baking dishes and more. But if you want to get a slice of the bargains you’ll need to act fast, because the same ends in just four days.

(Brand Alley )

Le Creuset cast iron tagine, 35cm: Was £310, now £179: Brandalley.co.uk

(Brand Alley)

Another slow cooking addition to your collection, this tagine uses just a little water over heat to rustle up both veggies and meat. Stoneware does a job of heating food seamlessly and, once its cooked it should stay hotter for longer – a bonus if you’re on your way back for seconds.

For extra juicy results, steam from the inside of the tagine will form little droplets that trickle down and into your food. The striking deep blue colourway would, we think, look beautiful with pride of place in the kitchen too.
