Your Home – September 2018

With the clocks going back and the night’s well and truly drawing in, October is the month to start hunkering down and getting ready for the winter days ahead. In this issue we’ve got plenty of great ideas to inspire you to cosy up your home. On page 20 we take a look at this season’s autumn blush trend. This palette of warm rose-tinted hues is a seasonal take on the pink that has dominated home interiors over the summer and is ideal for creating a snug feel that’s perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. Talking of living rooms, if you’re thinking of treating yours to a new sofa, then make sure you check out our buyer’s guide on page 42 to ensure you choose a model that’s just right for your home.
