There is a definite chill in the air and sunrises of coppery light are burnishing the mists rolling over fields and rivers. It must be autumn.
This issue, we give you everything you need to enjoy this colder, darker season – from lighting ideas and dramatic decorating inspiration to antiques and houses with colourful stories, and places to visit for fun autumn jaunts.
Jenny Oldaker’s guide to lighting explores the best new and antique lighting to illuminate any space, bringing in industry experts and showcasing a variety of designs and styles.
Rhiannon Batten explores Corsham in Wiltshire, where the vintage scene is coming to life, a new boutique hotel has just opened, and scenes from Rivals are shot (the second part of series two comes to screens on 11th November).
On the theme of film locations, one house featured in the November issue is West Horsley Place in Surrey. It may be more familiar to Ghosts fans as Button House, the location of the series and upcoming film. Stranger than fiction, the stories layered throughout this remarkable property are many!
Our other houses this month are lessons in how to decorate with pattern, colour and antiques, including a particularly wonderful home in the Norwegian countryside.
Elsewhere, enjoy our guides to buying burr wood furniture, collecting silver and porcelain chocolatières, and take a tour of six abandoned ‘ghost’ villages.
Enjoy a glimpse of what to look forward to in our November 2026 issue!
