Your Home Magazine May 2018 Back Issue

May is a great month for a spot of redecorating. The days are longer and warmer, plus we get two lovely long bank holiday weekends this month. With this in mind we’ve packed this issue with plenty of ideas to inspire you to revamp your rooms. On page 40 we’ve come up with 15 fantastic decorating projects that you can tackle in just a few hours, leaving you plenty of time to get out and enjoy the sunshine. Talking of which, if you’re thinking of replacing your garden furniture this summer, then take a look at our buyer’s guide on page 44 to see our pick for outdoor spaces big and small. In recent years social media has revolutionised the way we look for interiors inspiration. I know many of you scour Pinterest for decorating ideas and swoon at real life rooms on Insta. But there’s a lot that can be learned from these sites to help you style your own home. With this in mind, we’ve come up with a host of styling tricks on page 36 to help make your interiors look more gorgeous, and who knows, your home may be the next Instagram sensation! Food is another favourite of ours on social media, but when the weather’s nice who wants to slave over a hot stove? Not us! Which is why we’ve got some clever time-saving one-pot recipe ideas on page 100. We’d love to see your photos of any of the dishes if you try them, or indeed any of your DIY and decorating projects. And don’t forget to follow us on social media for lots more exciting Your Home content.
