Dunelm’s Peacock and Gold Carousel Parasol is a bohemian dream, with a vivid blue canopy and white and gold embroidered detailing, as well as beaded fringing for added movement
One of the greatest advantages of working remotely is being able to take your laptop into the garden when the sun’s shining. That said, dealing with intense screen glare can be challenging, making a parasol an essential addition to your outdoor setup this spring and summer.
Dunelm has just launched an impressive collection of garden umbrellas, featuring this 2.85m Peacock and Gold Carousel Parasol that’s ideal for those warm days spent in the fresh air. While numerous parasols can appear rather plain or lacklustre, this Dunelm piece certainly stands out, bringing a lively bohemian aesthetic to your garden.
Living up to its description, the £100 Peacock and Gold Carousel Parasol features a striking vivid blue canopy and features white and gold embroidered accents around its edges. Decorative beads hang around the entire circumference, providing not only a sense of luxury, but also creating sparkle and movement.
Its substantial size measures 2.85 metres in height with a 2.74-metre diameter, offering plenty of coverage whether you’re working outside or enjoying a meal in the open air. The Carousel Parasol includes a crank mechanism for easy opening and an aluminium-alloy tilt system that enables you to modify the umbrella’s position in various directions for continuous shade. The parasol can be positioned freely among your outdoor furniture, or inserted through a parasol opening in a table. It’s worth noting the base needs to be purchased separately, although Dunelm offers an extensive selection of base options to suit different garden styles and budgets.
For an all-in-one solution with base and weights included, take a look at this 1.8m Fringed Parasol from JD Williams, which comes with a weighted base and is currently on offer at £32, reduced from £49, with the code HOPPY providing an additional 25% discount. It features fringed detailing in cream, offering that same bohemian feel as the Dunelm option but with a softer more subtle colour scheme, reports OK!.
As another option, this Christow Portable Garden Parasol With Tilt can be purchased for just £39.99 at Amazon, available in six different colours to coordinate with any outdoor area. With its 2m diameter, it’s perfect for sheltering a small bistro set, and while it accepts a parasol base, it also includes a screw-in base for securing into softer surfaces such as sand.
Having said that, Dunelm shoppers are absolutely delighted with the Peacock and Gold Carousel Parasol, with one customer stating: “Stunning parasol it’s really boho style, I love it.”
Another shared: “Gorgeous parasol, lots of compliments of the colour and beading,” while a third enthused: “Great size and looks good. Easy to open and close via the handle.” However, one shopper observed: “It’s huge and top heavy so difficult to handle. Some of the beads are coming undone. That said it provides good shade and looks beautiful. I love it!”
One disappointed buyer complained: “Looked absolutely beautiful, and we had THREE days use out of it, until it collapsed on our heads, as the cord from the crank handle snapped.”
