It’s time to GET COSY

After the long, hot summer, we’re ready to dial up the style for the new season – this month’s Decorator’s Moodboards ( p61) sees a trio of looks based on the shades of autumn – all nature-inspired schemes that we can create on a shoestring. With these cooler days, it’s also the perfect time to give your wardrobe a detox ( p82) and get ready for the radiators to tick into action with our guide to keeping your heating bills down on page 84.

Over on page 72, we’re excited to reveal the latest kitchen

trends, with four different recipes for décor success. I’m especially thrilled to see that, increasingly, there are eco-friendly options for interiors-loving home cooks – from recycled plastic lighting to carbon-negative flooring.

As always, we have six creative real homes to inspire you. Cover star Patricia’s idyllic cottage is packed with charm, and she shares her renovation story on page 22. On page 90, Ann-Marie’s bright

kitchen makeover is full of budget-friendly ideas – she completed her transformation for less than £500fl And on page 34, we take you inside influencer Wil Law’s flat, which is bursting with ways to make the most of a small space. (Find more ways to maximise bijoux rooms on page 78.)

Finally, don’t miss our gourd-geous recipes on page 124 that celebrate autumn’s finest fruit and veg. The fresh ingredients will not only taste their best, but you’ll get them at good prices, too. Enjoyfl
