Welcome to our

SEPTEMBER ISSUE!

Autumn is one of my favourite times of year as that back-toschool vibe feels like the perfect opportunity to have a good declutter, plan new projects and spruce up our homes ready for cosy days ahead. With this in mind, turn to page 72 to find our clever storage solutions to make the most of your space, while on page 80 interior design expert and presenter for ITV’s This Morning Georgina BBurnett sharesh herh 10 top tips for creating a beautiful home that will also help to support your mental health. And, if you do have back-toschoolers in the house, our style-forward schemes for teens on page 84 are full of savvy ideas for study-bedrooms.

Whether it’s finishing touches or a complete transformation you have planned, this issue’s six stunning real homes and makeovers are packed with stylish decorating ideas, budget-friendly design hacks and amazing finds to inspire you – from our cover star Kathie’s chic country cottage on page 24 to Laura’s colourful Victorian home on page 36 and Nancy’s mid-century modern-inspired maisonette on page 48. And, in this month’s Decorator’s Moodboards on page 63, we show you how to bring this season’s hot trend, metallics, into your home with glamourous hints of copper, silver and gold.
