othing can compare to a living space that reflects your personal style evolving over time, put together with love. If you’re like most house-proud Barbadians, your home already has an authentic magic that no interior designer can recreate, unique and packed with solutions to your everyday challenges. With this in mind, we decided to use this issue of Smart Homes to help you give your home the continued care it needs, without busting the budget. Whether you’re looking to renovate, do some pre-holiday cleaning, or figure out how to increase the openness of a space to make it multipurpose, there is something in this magazine for every facet of the home. Do yourself a favour and avoid the usual last-minute dash to get everything ready for the upcoming festive season. Celebrate the New Year with friends and family in the home you love, and remember, if the days are rushing past and the budget’s looking stretched, don’t worry! All you have to do is channel your inner stylist (with our help of course) and make a few tweaks to create a look that’s perfect for you. We’ve only got a couple months left in the year, so let’s make the most and enjoy every moment! Instead of straining yourself to reinvent your home with the latest trends, use this issue to discover smart, simple and inexpensive ways to refresh your abode.
