Welcome to our

JUNE ISSUE!

Have you got plans for the extra-long Jubilee weekend

(thanks Queeniefl)? If you have the time off, will you host a party to celebrate HRH’s anniversary? Do you have a DIY project in mind? Or, like me, are you somehow determined to manage both? Here at HomeStyle, we’ve had a lot of fun putting together an issue that’s full of affordable ways for you to make the most of the bonus bank holiday break. If party time is high on your priority list, then you’ll find 12 ways to

elevate your celebration style on page 80 – think gorgeous garlands, summery tablescapes and atmosphere-enhancing lights to create an Insta-worthy eventfl And we’ve got your menu covered too, with

wow-factor sharing recipes on page 124.

You could easily give a room a new look in four days, and we’ve got the inspiration you need to get startedfl On page 72 we show you the

summer’s hottest trends (I can’t get enough of the urban jungle theme) and, on page 62, our Decorator’s Moodboards explore three looks that take their cues from the natural world.

My favourite discovery of the month is how quick and easy it is to lay decking tiles – head to page 84 to find out how to transform your

outside space with these and other decking ideas. It can be especially effective in a small garden, so don’t worry if you don’t have much room. For more DIY inspiration, check out Hester’s home, on page 34 – she’s an upcycling master, and her four-bed home is full of savvy ways to put reclaimed materials to stylish use.

Enjoy the celebration weekendfl PS. Don't miss it
