In homage to James Bond's debonair grace, we've dedicated our 30-page special section to rooms and trends which reflect the same charming ethos. Prepare yourself for good looks, smooth attitude and all-important gadgetry. The rest of the issue is no less thrilling. In Wave of Delight, the owners of a four-storey extended Victorian home have a family-friendly kitchen that uses distinctive designer cabinetry inspired by the Italian coastline. Then, in Warm Welcome, a 200-year-old barn has been given a rich injection of walnut and deliciously-toned leather stools, all inspired by the ultra-sociable Harrods sushi bar. Our deluxe centrefold home, Classic Beauty, is exactly what the title promises - a vast home with hand-painted kitchen, a lavishly designed dining area, a glorious master bedroom with sumptuous layers of plush texture, plus an indulgent five-star feel en suite. This month's in-depth features include Style Central, showing just how versatile kitchen islands can be, while Night on the Tiles gives inspirational looks for your bathroom. There's also our round up of range cookers in Oven Ready, and a guide to embracing Bedroom Orientation for a zen-inspired retreat. Enjoy!
