Your Home Magazine - November 2019

In this issue

Now that winter is upon us, it’s time to start making our homes as cosy as possible so we can enjoy spending more time in them over the coming months. So, in this issue, we’ve got plenty of great ideas and solutions to help you hunker down in style. On page 36 we take a look at how to create a beautiful yet functional lighting scheme that will not only give your home a warming glow, but illuminate those areas where you need to see to work, read or craft. Chilly winter nights usually mean more time spent curled up on the sofa, and if yours is looking shabby or feeling uncomfortable then turn to page 41, where we’ve scoured the high street and internet to bring you our favourite statement pieces that you’ll love to lounge on. With Christmas looming on the horizon you might be considering a kitchen makeover. On page 46 we explain how to create a kitchen that’s full of character, as well as boasting flexibility, by making the most of free-standing cabinets. If your downstairs cloakroom is looking lacklustre, why not give it a quick revamp in time for the influx of guests over the festive season? Flick to page 54 for some great ideas to create a big impact with your smallest room. Have you ever dreamed of having a dedicated utility room? Me too! Whether you’re lucky enough to have an entire room or just have some spare cupboard space, we got some clever ways to create a utility area in your home that’s hard-working and looks gorgeous too (p.112). Happy decorating!
