An abundance of character

Elly Grossman of Cannon Rocks writes

Belinda Huse of Hamburg (winning letter in your August 2017 issue) raises an important point when she asks: “How do you find your reader homes?”

It’s a question I’ve often asked myself as I page through my copies of Home. Each home you feature is full of individuality and filled with abundant character and a richness of spirit that invites you to ‘step into the page’.

They’re so different to the professionally decorated homes one finds in other publications. Such interior decorator created homes showcase the best money can buy; they’re exquisite yet so similar, so superficial, so sterile, so soul-less.

The question bears repeating: how do you find your homes? Also, can you feature a minimalist home – even more minimalist than Zen (if such a thing exists) – to show the creativity of nothingness?
