If you needed another reason to purchase the April/May issue... we are giving you 5.
Go Big When You Go Home
Don’t misunderstand us, we love an all-beige interior as much as the next person, but sometimes what you need is a vibrant shot of colour – or a whole room full of it – to really make an impact. In this issue we visit a uniquely architectural barn on the slopes of Table Mountain, a Broadway actress’s glamorous NYC apartment, a ’70s-inspired home belonging to a musical family, a maximalist space in Australia (complete with custom underwater-themed de Gournay wallpaper) and the eclectic-cool residence of superstar designer Sophie Ashby.
Introducing H&G It Yourself
Here at House & Garden we’re firm believers in DIY – that is, decorate it yourself. Whether you’re not ready to take on a professional decorator or simply have a creative itch and a room that needs an update, our newest section is sure to answer your burning homemaking questions. In this issue we tackle the topic of faux flowers – should you buy them? And if so, which do you get and how do you decorate with them in a way that doesn’t look so, well, fake? We’ll show you how.
The Kitchens & Bathrooms Special
They’re the hardest working rooms in the house, but that doesn’t mean they can’t also be the most stylish. We call in the experts – architects, designers and craftspeople – who share their tips, tricks and experience to make sure your next update is a success. From choosing the right design to settling on a material and colour palette to living more sustainably and finding the right appliance for the job, it’s all here.
Gardens Gone Wild
Take a tour of the untamed, yet perfectly peaceful, garden of Melissa van Hoogstraten (yes, the same Melissa who started the cafe and deli empire). Plus, landscape design legend Franchesa Watson shows you how to plant for year-long colour in your outdoors spaces.
