However ‘done’ our houses are, the joy we get from considering new fabrics and wallpapers, putting together moodboards and refreshing our spaces with an uplifting coat of paint never wanes.
This issue, Charlotte Packer taps into this ever-present source of delight, speaking to industry experts for the bestselling shades in their paint ranges and rounds up the free design services...
...plus paint consultations and interior design courses that will take your decorating confidence up a considerable notch. And for those who dismiss white as lacking interest, prepare to think again…
Elsewhere, Jenny Oldaker selects six of the best new design hotels for a luxe stay (another source of design inspiration).
Lorna Fairey explores Llangollen in North Wales, and finds a town rich in heritage, culture, dramatic landscapes and independent shops – the castle is even linked to the Holy Grail – yes, really!
Meanwhile our houses this month are rich in ideas to steal, from a vivaciously bright Milanese apartment to an achingly beautiful former farmhouse in South Africa, now transformed into a ‘healing farm’.
And for those ready to think about wrapping up warmly and lighting candles and roaring fires, our buyer’s guides to quilts and Staffordshire spill vases are autumn must reads.
Enjoy a glimpse of what to look forward to in our October 2026 issue!
