Look at any of the beautiful houses in H&A and you’ll see that, while they are all individual, they are united in the way they are filled with an interesting mix of furniture from across the centuries. This layering of old and new is key to creating a home that brims character and comfort. From a gorgeously colourful Georgian townhouse in Herefordshire, to an ex-biscuit factory in Finland with exposed brick ceilings and huge windows, there is much to admire. We also welcome Willa Latham as a new columnist – she will be sharing her quest to unravel the story of English porcelain over the coming months. Elsewhere we delve into the collecting phenomena of designer handbags and perfume bottles. There’s all the usual expert advice, plus auction highlights, fairs to visit in May and tips for refreshing your bedroom for spring.
