Homestyle Magazine - August 2018

In this issue

As I write this the sun is shining (hooray)! I hope you’re enjoying some sunny weather wherever you are too, because let’s face it we have to grab it while we can. If sunlight (or the lack of it) is something you struggle with in your home, then we have 10 clever ways to maximise it on page 84 – believe me, it’s amazing what a lick of paint can do. And there are a few surprises in there too. We all have that room which is in desperate need of a revamp, and you’ll find all the help you’ll need on these very pages, starting with a round-up of some of the top looks for summer on page 63. Don’t worry if you’re still finding your own personal style, choose from three equally stylish schemes, or take elements from each, the choice is yours. Elsewhere, we have more inspiration in the form of our Stylist’s Edit. Colour can be a tricky one to master, especially when it comes to combining them. Emily Dawe has done the guesswork for you with the wonderful combos starting on page 76. As always, we showcase some great real homes, but as it’s outdoor season, we’ve also thrown a pretty amazing boho garden makeover into the mix – enjoy!
