What is the best colour for a parasol?
It all depends on where your garden priorities lie—do you want bold and eye-catching, or calm and classic? Darker parasols, like charcoal grey or forest green, are excellent for blocking out strong sunlight and hiding the odd splash of summer grime. They're practical, but they also feel grounded and sophisticated. Lighter tones like cream, taupe, and soft white, on the other hand, brighten up patios beautifully and create an airy, relaxed vibe. That said, nothing says 'holiday mood' quite like a punchy red or vibrant blue. At Rinkit, you'll find parasols in shades that suit every setting—from crisp minimalist decks to colourful family gardens. And whatever the hue, each one is designed to balance shade, comfort, and style without dominating the space.
What are the advantages of a sunshade?
Honestly? There are loads—and some are easy to overlook until you’ve lived without one. First and foremost, they offer respite. When the sun’s blazing, a proper sunshade gives you a place to cool off, eat comfortably, or just sit without squinting. But there's more to them than just comfort. A sunshade also helps protect skin from harmful UV rays and prolongs the life of outdoor furniture by shielding it from sun damage. It can even stop your drinks from going warm too quickly—worth thinking about during a lazy Sunday lunch or impromptu garden party. With cantilever and tilting designs available, our collection at Rinkit lets you move your shade exactly where it’s needed. No awkward angles, no chasing shadows—just smooth summer living.
