Your Home Magazine – March 2014

Easter has been a long time coming this year. For me it heralds a turning point in the calendar, I get a sense that the days ahead are going to be lighter, brighter and full of exciting new projects. Talking of which, we’ve got some gorgeous projects for you to try in this issue. On page 60 you’ll find some fun and funky craft ideas to jazz up your Easter dining table. While on page 100, we’ve got some sensational Easter bakes that are real showstoppers. My favourite is the incredible hidden butterfly cake. For many of us, Easter marks the start of the holiday season, so if you’re planning on going away with the family take a peek at our buyer’s guide to digital cameras to make sure you capture all of those magical moments for posterity (p.50). The run of bank holidays at this time of year gives many of us the extra time we need to tackle a few DIY and decorating projects around the house. On page 24 you’ll find three fantastic bathroom makeovers that are sure to inspire you, while on page 20 you can discover this season’s hot new decorating trend and find out how to make it work in your home. If you just plan to give your home a lick of fresh paint, you’ll find some great advice on the latest paint trends, colours and application techniques in our feature on page 37. Plus we’ve got a fantastic reader offer on page 36 where you can save 20% on decorating materials at Decoratenow.co.uk. And don’t forget to take advantage of our free plant offer on page 117 where we’re giving away a free kniphofia for every reader. Have a happy Easter!
