Summer Garden Parlour (1000 pcs)

The tall arched doors are wide open, and summer is drifting into the parlour. This 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle invites you into a sunlit parlour with flowered wallpaper that opens right onto a lush garden. Outside, a gardener in a straw hat tends the flowerbeds with a watering can close by, in front of a little glass greenhouse and a big tree full of birds. Inside, life goes on: a soft pink armchair, a shelf full of books and plants, an easel with its paint pots, a piano, a wall clock, a vintage-style radio, a bowl of goldfish and even a parrot in a hanging cage.

And then there are the cats! A black cat keeps watch from the back of the armchair, a white cat plays with a ball of yarn, an orange cat eyes the chess game on the little table, another naps on a red footstool and a tiny grey kitten trots across the rug. Every corner of the image hides a little story to find, which makes assembling it as fun as it is relaxing.

Summer Garden Parlour is for you if you love colourful illustrations full of small stories, if you are looking for an accessible 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle for a quiet evening or a rainy afternoon, or if you simply adore cats and flowering gardens. The distinct areas (the rug, the plants, the sky, the window frames) make it easy to get organized while keeping the joy of discovery until the very last piece.

Doing a jigsaw puzzle takes focus and patience, and many people find it a great way to unplug from screens and unwind. This scene was illustrated by artist Emma Allen.
