Hi there!

Wow, what a corker of an issue! We’ve plenty to inspire your styling, for indoors and out. I love looking at photos of your decorating and room schemes and sharing them with other readers – so please keep sending them in. This month we have three gorgeous house tours for you to enjoy. If you like bright colour, turn to Rebecca’s home on page 28, see Sophie’s semi-detached (p42) for muted shades, or look inside Katie’s vintage interior (p16) if retro’s more your thing. Not sure of your style? Take our fun colour quiz on page 37 – I’m definitely Bright and Bold. Dining outside on a tartan blanket in summer is my idea of a perfect Sunday afternoon, and if you feel the same, you’ll enjoy our picnic special (p89). It’s chock-full of pretty buys, crafty makes, games to entertain the kids, and has a very delicious Scotch egg recipe. But you don’t need to go far to eat alfresco, as you can just head into your garden. Steal ideas from our two makeovers – starting on page 78 – if your outdoor area is looking a little tired. New this issue is our fab Style Made Easy pull out (p63). It’s your dedicated sourcebook for styling your home, starting with how to use pattern. I’d love to hear what you think and what topics you’d like to see in the future. See you next month!
