Editor’s letter

Confession time: I’m an impulsive decorator. I start a project with great intentions to take my time to plan and research the best buys and solutions before jumping in, but many years (and a few properties) down the line, I’m ready to accept that’s not my decorating nature. Some might call it impatience (my OH definitely does), but I’m going to embrace it and repackage it as enthusiasm.

The great thing about the ideas in this issue is that there’s no use-by date, so you can work at your own pace. If painting is involved, why not try the Colour Picker tool we’ve created with Dulux for idealhome.co.uk? See a colour you love, click on the image, and you’ll have the name of the closest Dulux paint shade. How quickly you pick up that paintbrush is up to you!
