Your Home Magazine September 2017 Back Issue

What a great summer we’ve had! Now the kids are back at school, there’s still time to tackle those decorating jobs you’ve been putting off all summer, before the darker days draw in. If you’re thinking of refreshing the look of your home, then take a look at our round-up of this autumn’s decorating trends (p.36). With their opulent colours, they’re perfect for creating a cosy space to snuggle up in over the coming months. For our makeovers this issue, we meet three readers who share their gorgeous living room transformations with us (p.24). If you’re looking to revamp your kitchen or bathroom, but don’t want to go through the upheaval of ripping out the cupboards or suite, then why not consider replacing the tiles or flooring instead? On page 49 we look at the latest bathroom flooring designs, while on page 54 we’ve picked our favourite tiles and splashbacks to add colour and texture to your kitchen. Even simple changes, such as adding new curtains, can give your room a facelift. Turn to page 66 to see our simple stepby- step guide to hanging a curtain pole – it’s really much easier than you may think. You can’t have failed to notice how on-trend houseplants are right now. On page 114 we help you choose some foolproof specimens and discover some clever ways to display them which will freshen up your interior when the garden is resting over winter. Happy decorating!
