Homestyle Magazine May 2018 Back Issue

May brings us more bank holidays, and while it’s the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends and family, it’s also a great time to get stuck into those jobs you’ve been meaning to get around to doing. But rather than fix that leaky tap, I’m thinking more creative projects that are not only fun but won’t take up the whole weekend either. Head to page 61 for some really inventive ideas which will make a big impact in your home, from a striking wall mural to worktops with wow-factor. I think nothing beats that ‘I did it myself’ feeling. Are you forever looking at gorgeous homes on Instagram? Us too! This issue we’ve picked some real gems, plus we show you how to get the look yourself, starting on page 81. And if you’re constantly lamenting your lack of space, then we also have advice on making the most of your rooms, however small. Find it on page 106. There are seven more real homes for you to discover this month, from our contemporary newbuild cover story to a cosy cottage which has been lovingly restored, there’s something for every taste. Speaking of taste, flick to page 118 for our unicorn-themed desserts, which taste as good as they look!
