The Design Directory 2020 is an informative and practical guide to happy home improvements with advice and solutions for all types of house-related jobs.

Purveyors of provenance. No, not the name of some indie band of the mid-1990s, but what this special Collector’s Issue of Homes & Interiors Scotland has shown me we are. Putting this edition of the magazine together has confirmed that heritage matters. Each of the long-read stories, whether on interior design or architecture, has the same message: preserving what we’ve got, working with a building’s foibles and flaws, is more important than buying new.

Wellness, there’s scope to boost it everywhere in our lives: where we position the furniture to optimise natural light, how to fit in that exercise class before heading to work, why it makes sense to put down the phone long before we turn in for the night. This issue of the magazine is dedicated to helping you find ways – big or small – to improve your sense of well-being.  

We’ve devoted this edition of Homes and Interiors Scotland to art, selecting homes, builds, gifts, recipes, exhibitions, outfits even, that reflect that sentiment: artful spaces and places, some decked out with canvases, others dappled with cushions or pretty collections of ceramics, a sculpted light, a well-conceived outfit, but all with art at the core.

This issue is full of intriguing architecture projects: remote builds, unusual builds, builds that off er ways to work with the planet instead of against it. What unites them is the sensitivity and passion with which they’ve been completed, along with an appreciation of their surroundings. Our cover star – a project in Glasgow’s Govanhill – is unlike anything else you’ll see; head to page 264 to immerse yourself in a bit of time-travel at this futuristic pad.

We’re fully immersed in summer here at Homes HQ, and this latest issue brings together the very best Scotland has to offer, to help you make the most of the sunny months ahead. Just see for yourself; there are homes to inspire (from page 180), getaways to bookmark (page 240), shopping pages to lust over (page 252) and no fewer than three new award-winning Scottish architecture projects to marvel at (from page 120).

What gets you in the mood for summer? We’re sure you’ll feel the arrival of the new season across the pages of issue 148. Come with us on a tour of some of Scotland’s most beautiful lochs and coasts – places to set up home, to escape to, or simply to appreciate on a wee day trip.

It’s difficult to put an age on good design. We can take a stab at when something might have been made, but if it’s good – and I mean really good – it should be timeless. And timeless design is worth investing in. Our Collector’s Issue celebrates just that.

Top of the agenda for the new year has to be our physical and emotional health. Whatever ‘wellness’ means to you (daily meditation or simply a solo coffee while flicking through your favourite interiors mag), taking care of ourselves is a priority, so we’ve dedicated our very first edition of 2023 to the idea of wellbeing.

Inside this issue you’ll find a Christmas special with a difference, and a focus on our nation’s vibrant art scene. There’s also a dedicated look at the most used (but most overlooked) room in the house: the bathroom. This has to be a practical space, but functionality these days is no longer at the expense of aesthetics, as we show, starting from page 73. The Hebridean Baker (page 22) is the very personification of what makes this country great, while time-honoured native crafts like Fair Isle knitting (page 99) show how quality is the gatekeeper to longevity. 

The Art Guide is a supplement brought to you by Homes & Interiors Scotland magazine featuring art news, features, trends and more. Find out who (and what) to buy, take a look at NFTs, and discover why tapestry is making a comeback

The move away from the vibrancy of summer, settling into the gentle comfort of autumn, has inspired this issue. Here at Homes HQ we’re looking at how to layer texture and prepping our homes – inside and out – for when the temperature drops and barbecues are swapped for fire pits, cocktails for hot chocolate.

Where do you want to go this summer? Chances are we can take you there. Let us transport you to Florida (on page 206) where designer Summer Thornton has given an impressive home real holiday vibes. How about Long Island (page 190), where a white timber Victorian house replete with wraparound porch has been resuscitated, in the best possible fashion, by designer Alfredo Paredes. He has turned it into a grown-up seafront retreat, the kind of place you could imagine Diane Keaton hanging out in a Nora Ephron movie.
Wherever you’re headed this summer, start here.

Hello summer, is that you? Looking out the window, it’s hard to tell, but leaf through the pages of our latest edition and there’s a definite seasonal shift. And we’re here for it. It’s not just colour that’s playing a part in lifting our spirits; pattern, in all its maximalist glory, is back with a bang. Check out our Exteriors focus too, where getting your garden prepped for balmy sundowners and alfresco brunches is on the menu. All we need now is the sun to show up.

What does luxury mean to you? Our concept of luxury has evolved since we published our first special LUXE edition back in 2019. A
lot has happened in the world since then, altering priorities and forcing us to reassess what matters. We’re still partial to a little indulgence; it’s just that what feels like a treat now is perhaps less about grand statements and more about finding what brings us comfort and joy.
Our homes embody that sentiment, and the rooms we’ve spent so much time in recently are getting some well-deserved attention. Putting together this special issue has been illuminating, showing us that what’s really on our wishlists is the unique, the handmade, the pieces that’ll last a lifetime and tell stories for generations to come.

A new year always dawns with us making promises to ourselves. Perhaps your focus for 2022 is to devote more time to friends and family, or to take up a new hobby, or to freshen up your interior design scheme. Whether your resolution is personal or practical, you’ll find something in the pages of this issue to help you achieve it.

If your list of New Year’s resolutions includes a renovation or decor project, big or small, our free annual Design Directory is the little black book for you. It’s packed with professionals who’ll help you get started. You’ll find the very best Scottish architects, designers, trades and specialists in the pages of this invaluable guide, offering advice, predicting trends and inspiring a fresh approach. Why not bring in the New Year with a new look? Your home will thank you for it.

Take our latest edition as a sourcebook heading into the new year. Our annual Art Guide 21 is a masterclass in the practicalities of how to buy art, where to fi nd it and what to choose. If you’re looking to start a collection, it’s a must-read. Gift-giving can be a headache, so let us help take the pressure off: the array of artists and makers living and working in Scotland and available to see both in galleries and online should shrink your Christmas shopping list instantly.
