Welcome

The September issue sees us holding on to the end of summer with features that focus on coastal styling, enjoying far flung places, usually associated with snow, in the sunshine and reminiscing on the taste of the Mediterranean with delicious Italian recipes!

When it comes to switching things up within your home as we begin to transcend from one season to another, we highlight a selection of our favourite bedroom looks. From botanical styling to hotel chic, there’s a range of ideas for those wanting a new backdrop for their bedtime routine. Likewise, if you are thinking of changing your kitchen without spending a fortune doing so, we have 15 easy updates to inspire you as you look to update your existing space.

There’s even more kitchen and bedroom inspiration in our four readers’ homes. This issue we visit our cover home in Donnybrook, where the owner has extended and updated with a mixture of contemporary and more traditional finishes. In Portadown, the owners’ love for contemporary art has influenced the décor of their new build and in Galway, a damp bungalow has been given a new lease of life after an extensive renovation. Last but not least, a family home in Tipperary has been reconfigured and redecorated to achieve a comfortable and stylish space that is just perfect for the homeowner and her family.

There are also all of our regular features with plenty of expert advice offering you even more interior and lifestyle inspiration this month.
