Welcome to our

MAY ISSUE!

Now that we’ve finally packed the blankets away (anyone else have to get theirs back out of hibernation after the weather turned winter chilly again?), we’re bringing warmth into our homes with colour-rich patterns and prints. On page 74 we show you how to mix and match patterns to really make them pop in your home, whether you love botanicals, geometrics or heritage classics. In preparation for warmer nights, on page 88 you’ll find our sleep better bedroom buys to help you keep your bedroom cool and comfortable in hot weather. May is also the ideal time to give your home and garden a health check to make sure you nip any problems caused by harsh winter weather in the bud, saving you time and money in the long run. Find our must-checks and top tips on page 81. With shops open again – how good is browsing IRL?! – our fave stores have lots of new releases to inspire you and our shopping pages are packed with affordable ideas for every room, including fun ideas for relaxing outdoors over on page 6 – garden party for six anyone? As well as this month’s stunning real homes and makeovers, I hope you enjoy this issue’s bonus Kitchens & Bathrooms mini mag, whether you’re considering a quick refresh or planning a complete refurb there’s lots to inspire you. As always, we love hearing what you think and seeing your home style so do get in touch and send us your pics using the hashtag #myHShome. Until next month,
