Summer is in full swing and those sunny days have got us thinking about a makeover, and we’re not just talking about our wardrobes. If you’re considering the same, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve even more real homes, with each offering something different. Cover girl Lucy truly is an inspiration, and while her home move may be an emotional one, she has filled her space with colour and memories; and encourages us all to do the same. Read her story on page 40. Ruth’s eclectic home on page 16 is full of crafty ideas; it’s little wonder her living room has just picked up a Pinterest award! And, if Emma’s kitchen-diner on page 28 has you dreaming of a new one yourself, there’s plenty of advice for getting that bespoke look on a budget on page 64. If you’re a fan of the ever-popular coastal look, Helen’s seaside pad on page 52 will tick all the boxes.
We also have three room revamps, starting on page 100. Maximising space is key with a smaller property, so we share some design tricks over on page 78. Also in this issue we have the handmade shopping haunts you need to check out, so even if you’re not jetting off this summer, there’s no reason why your home can’t have that global traveller’s style! Find it on page 98.

I love this time of year. As the nights start to draw in it offers the perfect excuse to spend more time indoors. And without the lure of the garden and days out, it’s often the time of year that I get stuck into those decorating projects, from a paint refresher, to smaller updates such as finally getting round to that gallery wall. Dare I say it, Christmas is also very much on our radar at HomeStlye HQ, and now is a great time to work through your snag list to make sure your home is guest-ready. From clearing out the spare room and making it inviting for visitors to updating your hallway, see our style tips on page 77. If you rent your property, we have advice from Instagram star Medina Grillo, whose creative decorating tips will make sure your space feels just like home. Find it on page 86. Looking to update your living room? Check out our on-trend schemes on page 108. Elsewhere there’s more great real homes, from cover star Lauren’s chic and stylish space on page 28 to Paola’s vibrant abode on page 16, with plenty of ideas you can try in your own space. In food this month there’s great weeknight dinners on page 116 and a mouth-watering selection of Canadian sweet treats on page 120.
Have a fantastic month,

October is the month when you can really feel the change in the air. Cosy nights beckon, and with this in mind we bring you some top features to help you enjoy spending time at home again. Mindfulness is a hot topic at the moment and feeling relaxed and at ease in our homes is so important. See our guide to creating an interior haven on page 108. Elsewhere in celebration of International Wallpaper Week we have some of the coolest designs to adorn your walls, from leopard print patterns to striking wall murals over on page 63. Bathrooms have never been so stylish, and this once forgotten and functional room is having a bit of a moment. See our top trends for your wash space on page 84. As always, we have some fantastic real homes for you.
Cover girl Emma’s new-build on page 14 has a subtle botanical scheme throughout, which creates a lovely cohesive feel. And Jes’ Manchester loft rental on page 26 is such a fun and quirky space. Meanwhile in food, we have Halloween recipes that all the family will love, plus quick meals that won’t disappoint! Find it from page 115.

This issue is all about embracing the new season and we’ve enjoyed seeing sneak previews of the new pieces that are about to hit the shops over the next few months. Starting with a high street shopping roundup on page 6, over on page 75 we bring you six of the hottest looks we spotted, from the new colour crushes to the must-have prints. This issue is also about making the most of your home. And this includes the outside of your house, after all first impressions count! See page 107 for 15 ways to spruce up the front of your home. We also have more great real reader homes. Siobhan’s semi on page 50 is sure to wow, with Abigail
Ahern-inspired dark walls and a striking maximalist look hidden behind the classic 1970s exterior, it‘s quite the style statement. Cover girl Elisha is a serial decorator, and we have to say we love her style! See page 14. At HomeStyle HQ we definitely spend more money on homeware than fashion, and with this in mind we talk to four ladies who have swapped their previous high-flying careers in fashion, showbiz and beauty for interiors – and they haven’t looked back! See page 84. Finally in food we have more great weeknight recipes to get you out of that mealtime rut. Find them on page 116.

I’m ever hopeful that the amazing weather we had last summer will make a comeback, and while we wait for that to happen there’s still time to style up your garden space to make the most of it when it does arrive! With this in mind we have dedicated this issue to all things outdoors, from the top style trends for your garden on page 75, to how to create your own sanctuary on page 94. Whether it’s for relaxing, getting creative or working from home, we have all the inspiration for fashioning your own ‘she shed’. There’s also a truly dreamy garden makeover on page 106. Helen’s turned her space into an extension of her home with a chillout area, fun bar and seating zone which looks good all year round. Elsewhere we have more great real reader houses. Covergirl Hanna’s home on page 14 will appeal if you have a love of art and prints and a penchant for pink, while Hope’s renovation of her 1930s probate property is remarkable. See page 38. In food this month, we have barbecue bites on page 118 that will liven up your next gathering and in celebration of Afternoon Tea Week there’s three tasty treats on page 120 that will please any sweet-toothed visitor!

Summer is in full swing and if like me you’re enjoying spending time in your garden but are looking to make a few changes, make sure you take a look at our outdoor living feature on page 84. I’m now inspired to add a projector and pizza oven to my wish list! If it’s your interior that is in need of an update, one of this season’s hottest trends is mixing warm and cool colour palettes, and it works surprising well. Minty tones are also coming into their own. To see these and more new decorating looks for summer, head to page 75. We also have more great real homes for you this month. Cover girl Yasmin’s first home has gorgeous original Edwardian features but as well as embracing these she has enjoyed adding her own style with a statement item or two – including a bright yellow sofa! See page 14. If dark schemes are more your thing, then Rachel’s Art Deco house renovation on page 38 is sure to appeal. In Decorator’s Moodboards we’re talking prints, see page 63.
Elsewhere we have light summer bites, including New York-style recipes to enjoy al fresco on page 118 and mouth-wateringly good vegan ice cream recipes on page 120. Yum!

Houseplants have never been so popular, at least not since the 1970s. Just a quick scroll through Instagram will show up hundreds of posts featuring indoor greenery in all its glory – from beautifully placed pots of cacti to bathtubs full of monsteras, this is a trend that I don’t think is going anywhere! If you’re looking for advice on styling your home with plants, and the best varieties to choose from, then you need to head to page 84. Another item which no home should be without is a desk or console table – even if you don’t work from home, carving out an area
for sorting the paperwork offers even more styling opportunities. See page 94. We have more great reader homes for you this month, with ideas to inspire, from cover girl Maria’s quirky property on page 14 to the Art Deco glamour of Ashley’s lovingly renovated Victorian pad on page 28. Elsewhere there’s advice for decorating with the new neutrals – we’re talking fresh whites, honey hues and plaster pinks, with no hint of magnolia in sight! Find it on page 65. Maximising space in our homes is always a hot topic, and our guide to living spaces on page 77 may just help you decide on the layout that works best for you.

I am constantly inspired by the reader homes we feature on these pages, and one of the things I most enjoy is hearing their stories; from the journey of finding their houses to how they turned it into their dream property, or even a ‘for now’ pad. And, of course, I love seeing the final results. One of my favourites this month is Siobhan and Joe’s clever renovation of their 1960s ex-council house. The transformation is nothing less than amazing, and they are now enjoying open-plan living, while still embracing the period of their property. Find it on page 14. We all love a good before and after, and I’m sure Britt’s kitchen on page 88 will impress. By keeping the same layout, and adding new cupboard fronts, tiles and worktops it just goes to show that it’s possible to get a space that you love without using up all of your savings! Elsewhere we have a guide to adding colour, don’t worry this includes monochrome schemes as well as warmer and cooler shades, if like me you’re a little colour shy! See page 75. Florals are always a spring/summer staple, and we’ve found the all-new wallpapers and fabrics which will make a statement on page 63. In food, we have delicious weeknight dinners, vegan recipes, plus sweet berry desserts. Find it from page 115.

There’s nothing better than hitting a London hotspot for lunch or afternoon tea, and it’s impossible not to be inspired by the gorgeous interiors of the venues. With this in mind, we show you how to get the style of four top eateries, from the blush pink lushness of Sketch to the Art Deco glamour of Bob Bob Ricard, find them on page 75. We also bring you luxe bathroom looks and how you can get them for less, which is perfect if like me you’re planning a bathroom refurb this year – see page 100. On page 63 there’s creative ways with tiles; I love that we’re all getting more adventurous with not only patterns but layout, too. But, if you’re thinking of putting your home on the market this year, make sure you read our guide over on page 80 to increasing its value first – you can thank us later! As always we have more amazing before and after room revamps for you, and cover girl Natalie’s living room is both fun and stylish, find it on page 84. Of course, this month signals Easter, so indulge in all things chocolate with our recipes on page 120. This issue we also have a free decorating mini mag to inspire your next project. Don’t forget to share the results with us on Instagram using the #myHShome hashtag.

This month marks National Bed Month, which highlights the importance of a good night’s sleep. Getting the ‘feel’ right in your bedroom is important, so we bring you three colour looks to help update yours – from this year’s hottest hue, Living Coral, to sunshine shades through to a soothing dusky pink, each will make a stylish impact. Find it on page 63. Elsewhere we have seven interior trends on page 74 that are set to be big this season. Terrazzo is still huge (quite literally) but we’re also seeing some fun
breakthroughs like otter and donkey motifs! As always we have more inspiring real homes for you. Cover girl Lucy’s kitchen renovation on page 92 was a big job but just look at it now – it’s the dream entertaining space. Jennifer’s gorgeous rental property on page 14 is also truly inspiring as she has maintained a great flow throughout with a subtle colour scheme and lots of plants. If you’re looking to get on the property ladder then take a look at our feature on page 82 – it’s packed with everything you need to know. Of course this month also marks Mother’s Day, so on page 120 we have three sweet treats to make for the special lady in your life. There’s also delicious pasta dishes from chef Gino D’Acampo on page 118 – enjoy!

February is the month of love, and as I write this Pantone has just released its Colour of the Year for 2019. Living Coral is a warm, peachy hue – what are your thoughts, love it or hate it? Personally, I am all for a shade which reminds me of summer and sunny holidays as winter chugs on. Our cover girl Rachael’s home is full of vibrancy and we can’t get enough of it either – it really is like a ray of sunshine. Find it on page 14. Elsewhere we have three of the hottest decorating looks for your walls. From an urban concrete look to animal print and bold botanicals, these are schemes that demand to be noticed – see page 63. Window treatments really do frame a room, and curtains are back in a big way, so if you’re weighing up the pros and cons of dressing your windows, head to page 104. We also have more amazing room revamps for you, including a bathroom which has been given a dramatic new look for just £1,000! See page 98. Food is the language of love, so we also have a Valentine’s Day meal planner guaranteed to impress, from page 118, plus no-bake desserts, which look and taste amazing.

It’s finally acceptable to play festive tunes, add to our wish lists and embrace all things Christmas! So, stock up that cocktail trolley, and enjoy what is, in my opinion, the best time of the year. Don’t worry if you’re in need of some inspo to get you into the spirit of things, you’ve come to the right place as we have packed this issue with all things seasonal, with a 20-page mini mag which starts on page 57. Inside you’ll find an under £50 gift guide, the top Christmas schemes for the year, style advice for every room, plus three fantastic decorating looks from stylist Laurie Davidson. Of course, we also have more amazing reader homes for you; and we’ve gone behind the scenes to find out how they like to decorate and spend the big day. Our cover girl Frankie’s home is pastel perfection, and I love how she’s kept the theme going with her decs too. Read more on page 18. If you’re still searching for the ideal gift, we have 10 of the top gizmos to impress even the fussiest recipient over on page 92. They’ll make the ultimate stocking filler. Of course, food is always a big part of the day, so we also have a mouth-watering Christmas Day menu on page 118, with a rather amazing snow and ice cake finale on page 120!

I’ve always loved the change of seasons, and for me autumn signals a time to slow down a little, before it all gets a bit crazy during the build-up to Christmas. I like to embrace everything this time of the year offers, from bracing walks in nature to heartier dishes and cosy evenings indoors as the nights draw in. This issue covers all things autumn too. Our cover girl Gillian’s home has all the hygge vibes with a log burner taking centre stage in her stylish Mid-Century style living room, find it on page 14. Elsewhere we have a buyer’s guide to sofas on page 104, as let’s face it we’ll be spending a lot more time on them! We also have satisfying seasonal food that starts from page 115. Of course, you may still be looking to embrace some post-summer DIY, and on page 84 we bring you all-new ways with tiles. And we’re not just talking for the kitchen and bathroom, it’s time to think outside the box. If decorating is on the agenda, then maximalism is a hot look to plump for. Whether you go Oriental, geometric or dark and daring – we say go large or go home! Head to page 63 and prepare to be inspired.

Christmas – I just love it! I particularly enjoy the excitement of picking a new decorating scheme, and if you’re looking to update your own, then you’re in for a treat, as we have the top Christmas trends (p23) as well as tree looks to wow (p36). It’s always fun to put your own stamp on things, so there’s also a host of craft projects to try from page 69; from seasonal cushions (p88) to easy sequin baubles (p91). Food plays a big part in the day, so we haven’t scrimped on the recipes! In fact we have 36 delicious dishes, from a Christmas day meal planner to sweet treats and foodie gifts, find them from page 97. Elsewhere we have the Christmas markets to get you into the festive spirit (p10), an under £40 gift guide (p51), plus lots of shopping inspo, including the essential novelty jumper (p62). Love our recipes and craft projects? Show us what you make! Use the #hsxmasfeast and #hsxmascraft hashtags on Instagram to share them with us. Wishing you the best Christmas ever!

We’ve had a scorcher of a summer, with endless days of sunshine. It’s been pretty amazing, although perhaps not for my poor garden! But I’m ready to embrace the new season now, get out the winter warmers, and pick up one or two of the new homeware releases in the shops. I’ve also got a kitchen refit on my mind. If it’s on your to-do list as well, head over to page 63 where we have dedicated nine pages to the ins and outs of what you need to know, from planning to employing
tradespeople, plus how to shave off some pennies. If it’s a new bathroom you’re dreaming of, then take inspiration from our sanctuary bathroom feature on page 100. I mean, could there be anything better than a home spa? I don’t think so! Of course, these are big undertakings, but there’s plenty of quick-fix decorating in this issue too; like our wallpaper showcase on page 78. The interiors world has gone mad for maximalism, will you brave it with one of our impactful schemes? Personally, I’m coming around to the idea of a painterly wall mural! As always, we have more great real homes for you, which I hope will get you inspired to start your next project.

When you move into a new property you’re suddenly faced with lots of decisions; and I’m speaking from experience here, as after many twists and turns in the process I’ve finally moved into my new home. While it’s great to have a blank (or in my case a not-so-blank canvas) to work with, it does come with numerous dilemmas; ‘what colours should I go for in the living room?’, ‘do I change the flooring or live with it for now?’, and ‘do I buy that sideboard?’ are just some of my current woes! In short, here are lots of choices to be made; which is really wonderful but also a tad daunting. Whether you’ve been in your home forever or just moved into a new place, then you’re in luck as we have three great features this month that will help. Find our guide to flooring on page 63, spend or save shopping tips on page 86, and a mini low-down on paint over on page 100. We also have 45 pages of real homes if you’re on the lookout for even more inspiration. One of my favourites is Emma’s 1970s revamp. She has definitely embraced the ethos of buying pieces that you love. And I’m totally down with that!

As I write this the sun is shining (hooray)! I hope you’re enjoying some sunny weather wherever you are too, because let’s face it we have to grab it while we can. If sunlight (or the lack of it) is something you struggle with in your home, then we have 10 clever ways to maximise it on page 84 – believe me, it’s amazing what a lick of paint can do. And there are a few surprises in there too. We all have that room which is in desperate need of a revamp, and you’ll find all the help you’ll need on these very pages, starting with a round-up of some of the top looks for summer on page 63. Don’t worry if you’re still finding your own personal style, choose from three equally stylish schemes, or take elements from each, the choice is yours. Elsewhere, we have more inspiration in the form of our Stylist’s Edit. Colour can be a tricky one to master, especially when it comes to combining them. Emily Dawe has done the guesswork for you with the wonderful combos starting on page 76. As always, we showcase some great real homes, but as it’s outdoor season, we’ve also thrown a pretty amazing boho garden makeover into the mix – enjoy!

Summer is in full swing, and we’ve been to more BBQs than we’d care to admit.
However, if it’s approaching your timeto host and your outdoor space is looking a tad sorry for itself, then we have lots of inspirational ideas to help spruce it up. On page 74 there are three great garden trends to inspire; from beachy blues to a tropical or country-style scheme, there are so many ways you can get the look even if you have limited space to work with.
Over on page 86 we have more outdoor (and indoor) advice and buys to get you through the season. Personally, I’m tempted by a tiki bar! Summer always gives me the motivation to freshen up the interior of my home as well, but it doesn’t always have to mean getting out the paintbrush. A new piece of furniture, from a sofa or a sideboard, can really change the feel of a room too – so our 12-page furniture finds special, starting on page 61 is well worth a peruse. This issue, we have seven great real homes for you, starting with our cover
girl Rowan’s new-build flat on page 12. She has really put her stamp on it by using her creative skills – and it’s certainly inspired me to be a bit more inventive too!

Welcome
Summer is one of my favourite seasons, everything just seems better when it’s a bit warmer, don’t you think? With this in mind, there are 30 ways to bring summer into your home on page 63. Whether it’s a few new accessories or a paint job, we have lots of ideas to welcome in the sunshine.
And while we can’t guarantee good weather (unfortunately), there’s no denying that we’ll all be spending a bit more time in our outside spaces. If yours needs an injection of style, then we have four great looks, starting on page 83.
And the good news is, you don’t need to have a large garden to create a welcoming area you’ll want to relax in. Elsewhere we have more amazing real homes, with inspiration for all tastes and budgets. Cover girl Jen’s new-build is stylish and filled with personality, while Sarah’s period property is a creative space where she has unleashed her passion for design. There are also three fantastic makeovers; because we all love a good before and after, right? My bathroom really is my sanctuary, so this issue there are clever revamps that you can do for under £350, on page 101. You don’t need to completely overhaul your smallest space to see a big impact.

May brings us more bank holidays, and while it’s the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends and family, it’s also a great time to get stuck into those jobs you’ve been
meaning to get around to doing. But rather than fix that leaky tap, I’m thinking more creative projects that are not only fun but won’t take up the whole weekend either.
Head to page 61 for some really inventive ideas which will make a big impact in your home, from a striking wall mural to worktops with wow-factor. I think nothing beats that ‘I did it myself’ feeling. Are you forever looking at gorgeous homes on Instagram? Us too! This issue we’ve picked some real gems, plus we show you how to get the look yourself, starting on page 81. And if you’re constantly lamenting your lack of space, then we also have advice on making the most of your rooms, however small. Find it on page 106. There are seven more real homes for you to discover this month, from our contemporary newbuild cover story to a cosy cottage which has been lovingly restored, there’s something for every taste. Speaking of taste, flick to page 118 for our unicorn-themed desserts, which taste as good as they look!
Have a fantastic month,

This month brings the first of the bank holidays, as we celebrate Easter. While we loathe to be cliché, at HomeStyle HQ we can’t resist some DIY at this time of year. I’ve always been a big fan of paint, and I’m loving the new braver ways we’re all choosing to use this affordable medium in our homes. On page 65 Crown’s Colour Consultant
talks us through some original ways to get creative, from combining contrasting colours to artistic effects. If you’re currently renting, we have a handy guide on how you can make the space your own with ideas that your landlord should approve of, starting on page 55. These crafty tricks can also come in handy for homeowners looking to update their rooms on a budget.
Also in this issue we have more amazing homes and room makeovers. Cover girl Bronwen’s kitchen revamp on page 76 is a particular fave; it has all the makings of a designer refurb but cost less than you’d think.
The high street is full of spring/summer drops right now and we’ve picked some of our top collections which you can find in your free magazine. Check them out and don’t forget to enter our Instagram competition to be in with the chance of winning a £100 gift voucher.
Have a fantastic month,

Hello March. Things always start to look up when spring arrives. The days get longer (we actually start seeing our homes in daylight again) and warmer times are here. It also signals new season buys – yay! If you fancy a little interiors splurge, head to page 6 for some of the latest drops to hit the high street. We also bring you five hot new trends for your home, starting on page 63. Personally, boho botanical gets my seal of approval; greenery, woven wall hangings, earthy shades... what’s not to love? If only I could actually keep all of my plants alive! It’s often around now that we start thinking about redecorating our homes. Paint is one of the most transformative products there is, and we have three exciting ways you can use it creatively on your walls, plus furniture and accessories too, starting on page 78. Head to page 106 for 10 ideas for revamping your home that will make a big difference but won’t cost the earth. A winning combination, no? As always, we have more amazing real homes. From a new build with bags of style to cover girl Dominique’s quirky home, there’s sure to be plenty of inspiration for your own projects.
Have a fantastic month,

Now the decs have come down and order has been restored in the house (after the fun and madness that is the festive season!) it can all feel a bit bare. If your spaces are in need of a fresh look, then you’ve come to the right place. We have eight whole pages dedicated to how to use colour in your home, including what paint shades you should be using according to your zodiac sign. Find it from page 63. We also have seven more exciting real homes to swoon over. Cover girl Rachael is definitely not colour-shy; and her creatively revamped rental is so inspiring. Fans of a subtle home, don’t miss Jo’s kitchen revamp. Mainly white and grey, with a hint of sunshine yellow, it gets my vote. See page 100. Elsewhere we have three bedroom looks, starting on page 82, which will make getting out of bed super difficult. When it comes to makeovers, don’t forget your entranceway, as they’re set to really come into
their own this year. Bold wallpaper and even hallway cocktail areas will be two of the hottest new trends we’re going to be rocking in 2018. Flick to page 76 for more.
Have a fantastic month,

Christmas is my favourite time of the year. Fact. While it’s always busy in the lead up as I dash around buying presents for loved ones, 
I try to treasure this time as well; the build up is half the fun, right? I enjoy nothing more than spending a December evening watching a festive film while wrapping presents, and my tree goes up on 1st December; sometimes even earlier! If you’re undecided on what Christmas scheme to go for this year, then turn to page 13 as we have three looks from some of our fave high street brands. Whether you go for Dunelm’s frosty glamour, copper chic from Primark or the on-trend teal found at Poundland, we’ve made it easy for you with these one-stop shops. Then turn to page 57 for a bumper 20-page Christmas mini mag which is packed with festive buys, a gift guide and seasonal looks to wow. Looking ahead to the New Year, on page 74 we have ideas for getting the party started. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy the chance to bedeck the house with some more sparkle? We certainly do! Twixmas signals sales, and while you may be feeling shopped out, we have some tactical tricks that will help you bag a bargain. All is revealed on page 104. Happy shopping!
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas,

With winter around the corner, there’s definitely a change in the air, and we’ll let you into a little secret – at HomeStyle HQ we’re actually a bit excited about the colder weather. I mean a chance to get all hygge with warming hot chocolates around the fire – bring it on! And don’t worry if you’re currently without a fireside, we have a guide this issue, from an easy-to-install plug-in electric fire to a coveted wood burner; see our lowdown over on page 85. Elsewhere, to welcome in the changing season, we have an A-Z style feature on
the little updates (page 62) you can do around the home that will make a big difference; from paint tricks to the latest soft furnishings.
There’s also seven fantastic real homes this month. Cover girl Hayley’s renovated her pad with her boyfriend, Lewie, into an industrial chic space we’re just a little bit in love with – it’s particularly inspiring as they did it all on a tight budget. If you’re a fan of colour, Katie-Jane’s rental on page 26 may be more your style, and it’s packed with creative touches, too. The high street has some great offerings at the moment, from as little as £1 – see page 6 to get you started. Have a fantastic month,

Welcome
Christmas is on its way and I couldn’t be happier.
It’s my favourite time of the year as I get to spend days with my family enjoying tasty food, playing games and sharing special gifts. Like you, I love to decorate my home and this year I’m so excited for all the new ranges hitting the shops. For me, it’s a toss up between opulent gold (p24) and frosty white (p12); I really can’t decide. You will be spoilt for choice, too, with the amount of styling ideas we have packed in. You’ll find tips on picking the best tree (p32), ways to use lighting (p44) and how to dress the table (p52).
Not to mention all the handmade decs you can craft. I think you’ll love our marbled baubles on page 76. What else makes a perfect celebration? The eats (of course!), and we have over 30 recipes to make your menu planning a breeze. Lastly, if you need help buying presents, our ultimate gift guide on page 57 has got you covered! From me and the team, we
wish you a very merry Christmas...

As a self-confessed interiors shopaholic, I’m not going to lie, I’ve been not-so-patiently awaiting the new autumn/winter collections to hit our favourite high street haunts. And as I’m moving house soon I’m even more excited than usual. I mean what better excuse is there to invest in the latest pieces, than some brand new spaces that need decorating? On page 6 we bring you new collections from some of our rated retailers and supermarkets, after all aren’t we all partial to a bit of impulse buying when we’re getting the weekly shop in? I’m also really pleased to finally reveal three of the key trends we’ve spotted and loved at this year’s launch shows. Head to page 73 now! We also bring you a 19-page kitchen and bathroom special this issue. With beautiful makeovers as well as top features, including five creative ways with tiles on page 100 and a compact

Have a fantastic month,

Summer is in full swing and those sunny days have got us thinking about a makeover, and we’re not just talking about our wardrobes. If you’re considering the same, you’ve come
to the right place. We’ve even more real homes, with each offering something different. Cover girl Lucy truly is an inspiration, and while her home move may be an emotional one, she has filled her space with colour and memories; and encourages us all to do the same. Read her story on page 40. Ruth’s eclectic home on page 16 is full of crafty ideas; it’s little wonder her living room has just picked up a Pinterest award!
And, if Emma’s kitchen-diner on page 28 has you dreaming of a new one yourself, there’s plenty of advice for getting that bespoke look on a budget on page 64. If you’re a fan of the ever-popular coastal look, Helen’s seaside pad on page 52 will tick all the boxes. We also have three room revamps, starting on page 100. Maximising space is key with a smaller property, so we share some design tricks over on page 78. Also in this issue we have the handmade shopping haunts you need to check out, so even if
you’re not jetting off this summer, there’s no reason why your home can’t have that global traveller’s style! Find it on page 98.

Welcome to our July issue!

As I write this, summer feels like it’s finally here – hooray for that!
Nothing much tops the feeling of the sun on your face... well maybe a really good home buy. And luckily for you this issue is packed with them. From 14 Instagram shops we’re spending all our salaries on (see page 78 if you dare), to our pick of the latest high street drops on page 6, there are so many things we need right now. Elsewhere in this issue
our real homes are inspiring all kinds of revamps. Darren’s colourful Victorian terrace on page 28 has us reaching for the paint pots – that yellow fireplace is simply dreamy and just says summer! Our cover star Carly’s maisonette is also one for fans of a bold shade. See her creative pad over on p16. Stairs are one of those functional parts of the home, but they don’t have to be boring. On page 98 we show you eight exciting ways you can make a feature of them, from mosaic tiles to wallpapered risers. If you’re not quite on the property ladder just yet, then our feature on renting is essential reading, to make sure you have your rights covered. Find it on page 64. Also in this issue we have some really easy craft makes starting on page 82 – supplies at the ready!

As the song goes, summertime and the livin’ is easy... With this in mind we have brought you a bumper issue packed with inspiration so you can enjoy those warmer days at home in style. Inside your free 32-page guide to outdoor living, you’ll find all you need to make the best of your garden, ready to take life at a slower pace over the coming months. Your main mag will not disappoint either, as we have seven more gorgeous homes to get the ideas flowing inside the house as well. Our cover star Anna’s rental is particularly inspirational. On a tight budget and unable to add her favourite colour (would you guess it’s pink?) in paint or wallpaper form to her abode, she’s had to be creative – and we love the results. See for yourself on p52. If your bathroom is due an overhaul don’t miss our guide over on page 64, and that covetable designer-style and spa-like sanctuary may just be in reach. We also bring you eight straight-from-the-catwalk home trends on page 78. We’re already a little bit in love with the ombré look, and then there’s that denim sofa... You can blame us when your shopping addiction, like ours, spirals somewhat out of control. See you at the checkouts!
