British Period Homes Magazine Heart Warming Real Homes Back Issue

I can’t believe it’s November already – autumn seems to have crept up on me this year, and after the lovely hot summer months, I’m more than happy to curl up in front of the fire and hibernate. That’s why, cosy is definitely the key word for this issue, from creating a rural retreat with the latest woodland trend (page 11) and embracing the warm tones of classic tartan homewares (page 12) in our Shopping pages, to transforming your bedroom into a serene sanctuary with our Home essentials guide (page 71), we’ve got everything you need to snuggle up indoors. Our Real homes (from page 29) this issue are full of heart-warming ideas to create a cosy and homely atmosphere, while our perfect preserve recipes in Home craft (page 92) will encourage you to take part in the resurgence of homemade produce in time for the festive season. If you are looking for a project to entertain you over the darker autumn evenings, why not have a go at upcycling – giving a once
loved piece of furniture a new lease of life with a coat of paint is a key element of salvaged-style, a trend that will give your period home a unique look. We show you how to incorporate these design ideas in this months Decorating feature (page 15) and we’d love to see any items you transform with a bit of TLC!
