There is something emotionally uplifting and cheering about the arrival of warmth and days of blue sky and sunshine. It’s not just nature which unfurls itself and turns its face to the sun - it’s something we do as well, sprucing up our outdoor space, readying ourselves for the new season. This issue, therefore, is all about getting ready for the summer months to come. Be inspired by the homes, all of which have strong exterior areas and gardens as well as interiors that link seamlessly to the outside; in the Outdoor Living Special, we look at the trend for the outdoor kitchen as well as the movement for turning your roof terrace into an outdoor room; go shopping from our pick of great outdoor furniture and barbecues. As well we focus on the interior living room this issue, highlighting the great brands that are available locally plus shining a light on shelving, a key but often under the radar feature
that can make a room. Enjoy!
