Essential Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom  |  August 2017
If there’s one word that best encapsulates this issue it would have to be the colour of our cover masthead – green. Because, from the leafy North London kitchen project that graces our front cover, to the interview with floral stylist Willow Crossley on our back page, I don’t think we’ve ever had such a nature-filled edition. Even in our appliance section, we’ve taken it outside with an outdoors cooking and entertaining special in The Living is Easy on page 78, and our foodie interview is with Australian cook Stuart McKenzie who has mastered the art of laid-back dining at his Melbourne café South of Johnson (page 76). You’ll find further plant-filled spaces in our shopping and ‘get the look’ pages (70, 100 and 114) and in this month’s verdant moodboard on page 15. We’ve even struck a green-inspired yoga post on our bathroom pages and have explored the serene theme of Living Mindfully (page 88). Because it’s July, and let’s face it nobody likes to take anything too seriously in the height of holiday season, we’ve had a lot of fun looking at designing kids’ bedrooms – see Imagine That on page 108. As well as playing with colour palettes in children’s spaces, we’ve also noticed the new yen for colour that has been creeping back into kitchen design too. Assistant editor Emma Foale researches the trend for colourful kitchens and how to make it work for you in Tasteful Palette over on page 62. Make sure to check out our three impressive kitchen renovations this issue. From the vintage-meets-contemporary cook space in Effortlessly Eclectic (page 22) to a 16th century listed house in The Manor Reborn (page 44) and the Hunter family’s From Gloomy to Glamorous update (page 34), there are lots of gorgeous ideas here to make your own. Enjoy and Namaste.
