What a difference the sun makes! No wonder we all hanker after bright, airy extensions and expanses of glass that bring summer right into our homes. if you’re at the start of your project, don’t miss this issue’s guide to going open plan on page 62. it outlines the key things you need to think about, plus advice on how to get started. if you’re further along the line, check out our features on artisan tiles on page 68 and salvage finds on page 92 – both great ways to add character, and to really personalise your space. Our real-life kitchen case studies this issue have some fabulous design solutions to get you motivated. We love the cool elegance of photographer Emma Knight’s London home on page 31. and read how Mervyn Cole and Terry Chappell turned a couple of derelict barns in Gloucester into a stunning home with a smart, light-filled Bulthaup kitchen on page 101. Natalie and Ray Stevens knocked down the garage to make space for their dream kitchen on page 50, while interior designer, Sarah Wells, tells us how she transformed a series of tricky higgledy-piggledy rooms in her Victorian home into a bright, welcoming family space on page 22. a new kitchen is so much more about cupboards and appliances, it’s about reinventing your home to create a space that’s everything you want it be. Dive in and be inspired.
