Interiors to inspire
What you need right now is interior design that comforts, and that’s what the five houses featured in this issue do best. From a working family farm in Noordhoek and an English countryside barn reimagined as a warm and welcoming home to a heritage house in Cape Town geared towards slow living, a Cape Dutch marvel on the slopes of Table Mountain and winter-proof house on Nantucket Island – this issue has every kind of cosy decor inspiration.
Tried-and-trusted comfort food
With dwindling daylight and dropping temperatures, it’s time to cancel those going-out plans, stay in and engage in some serious (and seriously easy) high-comfort cooking. On the menu: creamy mussel broth, hearty tomato, kale and chickpea stews, maple syrup cooking and much more.
Dreamy bedroom makeovers
It’s safe to say you’ll be spending a lot more time indoors – and that means your bedroom needs to be a space dedicated to comfort and quiet. In our handy H&G It Yourself guide, we’ll show you how to update your bedroom space with clever ideas, from picking the right headboard, the best colours and even decorating kids’ rooms.
Heating that works
If you’re struggling to find a heating that looks good and does the job right, look no further. From wood- and gas-burning fireplaces to stylish hot-water bottles and heated towel rails, our editors pick the best warming options for every room in the house.
No-fuss, winter gardening
Winter gardening might sound like an oxymoron, but it’s a beautiful time of year to get outdoors and into nature. We visit the fantastical Brahman Hills in the KZN Midlands (take note if you’re looking for a wedding venue, this is SA’s best kept secret) and provide expert how-to guides on creating stunning green spaces this season.
