Welcome We can’t believe spring is already upon us, bringing with it warmer weather, fresh trends and a thriving property market. Earlier this year, we visited the coveted interiors show Maison & Objet in Paris to seek out the top trends set to blossom this spring/summer. Our spies reveal all in our trend report. We’re also making the most of the weather with al fresco dining ideas for the garden. Don’t have a garden? Take a look around The Meadows, a verdant community where family villas nestle amid grassy parks and tree-lined streets. Our in-depth guide tells you all you need to know. Or tour the Bazzari family home in Emirates Hills, and find out first-hand why they still love the area eleven years on from moving there. Work out what you can afford with expert advice from our resident mortgage guru. He’s noticed a massive shift in the market benefiting homebuyers – sure to be music to the ears of many.
