Your Home Magazine – April 2019

Goodness me, how are we halfway through the year already? But at least now summer is well and truly here we can start really enjoying life alfresco. In this month’s issue we’re embracing the summer (and praying for a heatwave), with lots of ideas to help you enjoy spending more time outdoors and some inspiring ways to fill your interiors with sunshine and colour. If you love gathering your family and friends round for a get-together in the garden, then you’ll love our ideas on page 38. From a funky tropical party vibe to a grown-up soirée we’ve got plenty of ideas for decorating your outdoor space to make it the ultimate place to spend time this summer. And, if you’re looking for ideas to feed your guests, then check out this month’s mouth-watering recipes. God of the grill, DJ BBQ, shares his favourite burger recipes with us on page 96, while curry aficionado Dan Toombs has some fantastic ways to give veggie dishes an Indian spin on the barbecue (p.100). If you want to bring some sunny colours into your home, then check out our ever-so-easy paint effects on page 44. Meanwhile, over on page 22, we head to the Med to find inspiration from their bold patterns and rustic textures to transport your rooms to sunnier climes whatever the weather. And, if you fancy exchanging your home for one in the sun, find out how to do a house swap on p.16.
