Your Home Magazine  |  July 2013
Summer’s in full swing and we’ve got plenty in this issue to help you make the most of the good weather. On page 46 we take a look at the latest barbecue designs. Whether you have a tiny balcony or a macho husband who wants an all-singing all-dancing barbie, we’ve got something to suit everyone. Plus we chat to Claire Edwards from Weber’s Grill Academy about smoking – the hottest new BBQ trend. With any luck we’ll be blessed with plenty of sunshine for the next couple of months so in this issue we look at ways to create shady havens in your garden to escape the heat of the midday sun (p.114). While on page 66 we have an easy step-by-step guide to building your own pergola – simply add some fragrant, climbing plants to provide you with some dappled shade on a lazy summer afternoon. And if all that sunshine is making you feel in a holiday mood, take a look at our trend alert on page 18 where you’ll find lots of ways to give your home a funky, tropical vibe to bring a taste of the sunshine indoors. Meanwhile our food pages this month head west to bring you the hot, spicy flavours of authentic Mexican cuisine courtesy of the team at Benito’s Hat Mexican Kitchen (p.100). Those of you jetting off in search of guaranteed sunshine should take a peek at our sewing project this month (p.64). This pretty and practical travel wallet is just the thing to keep all your important documents safe on your journey. We’ve also got lots of real reader homes to inspire you this month, from Helen Bottrill’s colourful family home (p.74) to Julie Siemen’s living room (p.30), where she’s cleverly combined bespoke units with recycled furniture to make her home unique. Finally, don’t forget to turn to page 56 to see our fantastic competition where you could win a £1,000 digital security package from Yale to keep your home safe this summer. Enjoy!
