Mid-century textiles
It’s time to look afresh at mid-century textiles, says Roadshow expert Madeleine Marsh, as she opens the curtains on these fabulous fabrics.

Antiques of the Future
Marnie Moyle’s gorgeous green oak furniture is built for modern living.

A brief encounter
Katie Hallett discovers that all is not what it seems along the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, as the line and the picturesque towns that it serves are taken back to 1943 for the annual ‘Railway at War’ weekend.

Four summer homes
This month’s real homes include a light and contemporary Sussex cottage and a colourful and quirky vintage abode in Teddington.
