Your Home Magazine – April 2015

Summer is well and truly on its way now, so there’s no better time to turn your attention to improving your outdoor space. In our home improvement feature on page 106 we take a look at projects big and small, to make your garden a nicer place to be. While on page 66 we have an easy step-by-step project for laying a smart new gravel path. No matter what size your outdoor space, there’s always room for a few plants in containers, and on page 114 we’ve got lots of expert advice to help you bring a splash of colour to your garden, patio or balcony. If the warmer weather and longer, lighter evenings have inspired you to do a spot of redecorating, then before you start check out our feature on page 36 for the stylist’s secrets that will help you achieve a designer look on a budget. And make sure you take
a look at our gorgeous makeovers (p.24) and fabulous homes (p.73) in this issue for plenty of real-life inspiration from readers just like you. If, like the Your Home team, you’re trying to eat more healthily, then i know you’ll love our recipes this month (p.100). Not only do they taste great, but they may even help you get a healthy glow and a bikini body in time for your summer holidays, what’s not to love?
 Finally, we’ve got some amazing competitions in this issue. You could win a fantastic smart security package from Yale worth £2,000 (p.56) or a new Baxi boiler worth £2,500 (p.110). Good luck!
