Essential Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom  |  December 2017
There’s such a lovely sophisticated and glamorous mood entering the interiors and kitchens scene now, and this comes into its own at this most festive time of year. From gold and marble to brass and polished concrete, this issue has so many statement ideas and luxurious, surprising materials – just look at our cover story Sunny Side Up (page 22) to start whetting your appetite for some seriously grown-up inspiration. In Bold as Brass (page 46), the Johnstone family have added an island covered in satin brass to the middle of their Cotswolds kitchen, which matches their brass cupboard handles and marble worktops and splashbacks. Also, there are chic gold details in the dark cabinetry of the Dalton family’s new kitchen, in Pared-back Beauty (page 36), and in our shopping features In the Night Garden (page 15) and Cocktail Party (page 70), you can really get a feel for how jewel colours and touches of metallics set a celebratory mood for entertaining this season. How ready is your house for entertaining family, friends and guests right now? You could start with the basics by getting an organised kitchen – see Store & Order (page 74) and, if you need to upgrade your appliances in time for Christmas, technology editor Lucy Macdonald has all the tips in Gather Around (page 98). In You’re Welcome (page 115), assistant editor Emma Foale looks at everything from lighting to furniture to help plan your guest bathroom the right way. And, if you are in the market for a new bed for either yourself or visitors, there are 20 new ideas for bed shapes and frames in our Buyer’s Guide on page 134. Enjoy the issue – and happy holiday planning!
