Welcome to our

OCTOBER ISSUE!

This month we reveal the hottest new interior trends for Autumn/ Winter with inspiring room schemes, best buys and style tips for how to get the look, whether you fancy a complete change or an easy update. From nature-inspired Modern Folk to moody blue Wanderlust and berry-toned Dark Glamour, we’re loving the cosy vibe these new season schemes conjure up ( page 70). And for more décor inspiration, turn to page 59 for this month’s Decorator’s Moodboards featuring three Autumnal colour palettes inspired by this season’s spicy shades of turmeric, cinnamon and paprika.

Over on page 78 you’ll find our winter-ready checklist – our top tips on preparing your home and garden for the colder months ahead. And on page 84 our home-heating feature is packed with expert advice on choosing efficient, affordable and eco-friendly heating solutions from woodburners to electric stoves and radiators.

This issue’s six amazing real homes and makeovers are also full of savvy ideas, beautiful design and fantastic finds. Turn to page 32 to take a look around our cover star Kim’s colourful Victorian semi where modern meets vintage. On page 20 Emily’s boho-Scandi aesthetic has created a calming feel in her ’90s home and Helen’s ‘tiny terrace’ on page 44 is a treasure trove of clever hacks and unique finishing touches. I hope you enjoy the issue, and don’t forget to show us what you’ve been up to using the hashtag #myHShome on Insta.
