Welcome

It’s hard to believe we’re making our way towards Spring but with that in mind we are thinking about how to update our homes for this most welcome time of year, and of course the new trends it promises.

Obviously it’s not possible to totally replace your interiors at the drop of a hat, but one of the new trends we look at this issue is panelling and it is certainly one that doesn’t require massive investment or upheaval, but in terms of what it can do for your interior spaces the difference is notable.
Another easy way to update your interiors is with this season’s love of rattan and wicker furnishings and decorative accessories. From an accent armchair to a plant pot or bed frame, we highlight lots of options to suit every budget and interior style.
For those of you wanting to tackle your bathing space head on, then our bathroom feature offers lots of top tips and advice to planning the perfect bathroom and highlights some of the latest products and decorative tiles to ensure a stylish finish.
With Mother’s Day fast approaching we pick out some of the best locations to enjoy Afternoon Tea on Mothering Sunday and if you are wanting to travel further afield be sure to read up on all that Venice and the Maldives hold in store.
As always we take you inside three of our readers’ homes and one of our reader’s kitchens, plus we have tasty recipes for you to try, there are competitions to be won and lots of interior inspiration to help you make your house a home!
On that note, if you do have a home that you would like to see featured in the magazine contact us on 028 9147 3979 or email editorial@ihil.net we look forward to hearing from you.
