It’s been an amazing, blazing summer, hasn’t it? But now I’m good and ready to make the transition into winter mode! It’s time to get your winter clothes, boots and bedding out of storage and give the house what Ma Richmond calls a ‘top-to-toe purge’.

So, this issue walks the line between all that forward thinking – decluttering and reorganising ready for the new school term, getting the sitting room in good shape for box-set season – while keeping one foot firmly in summer (time outdoors, time-off-work redecorating projects, sales bargains in the shops…).

I’ve learnt not to match things too much. It can be tough, as I’m someone who loves to match and organise, but it can make a room look too one-dimensional. Joanne Robinson ABOUT ME I’m…
