Period Homes & Interiors Magazine

26 September 2014

When the seasons start to change, November is the perfect opportunity to plan time spent cosying up indoors in front of the fi re, and this issue we are embracing everything the new season has to offer including the key trends for autumn/winter that are sweeping the high street. In our Shopping pages, we take our pick from the latest copper homewares, which will add a shiny air of sophistication to your interior (page 9). We also show you how to embrace the autumnal tones of berry, damson and plum in your home (page 10) – a quick and easy way to add warmth to any scheme. While our Decorating feature (page 15) showcases how a bold monochrome palette can be used to striking effect in a period home to highlight original architectural features and create impact. Our Real Homes this issue (from page 29), are full of inspiring ideas to create a welcoming atmosphere, from the calm, muted shades of Tracey Appel’s Victorian townhouse, to the bold bursts of colour Melissa Lee has used to add a new lease of life to her London terrace, they have created homes that can be easily adapted to suit every season. The changing weather is also the time to spare a thought for the creatures that call our gardens home and as the winter sets in, we have expert advice (page 67) on how to create a wildlife haven in your green space – that way, we can ensure everyone is kept warm and cosy throughout the colder months...
