This might be the September issue (technically autumn?), but we’re stretching out that summer-holiday vibe with plenty of outdoor-living inspo and project ideas! My own big summer-holiday project – revamping the shed – quickly came unstuck when we discovered it was falling apart – bowing walls, wonky roof, the works – due to being built on a too-small base and stacked to the rafters with heavy stuff. You live and learn! Clearing it out sparked a Marie Kondo/Mrs Hinch-inspired purge that spread to the utility, understairs cupboard and even the loft. Thank you HomeSense for your kick-ass storage department – the house has never been so organised and calm! We’re ready for whatever craziness the autumn brings… SEND US YOUR STYLING SNAPS ON INSTAGRAM #SAHSTYLISTS - WE LOVE TO SEE…

1. Pick warm wood accents A classic country-style chest or bedside table in warm oak introduces a smart edge to balance folky patterns and acts as an anchor point for a country look. 2. Layer up different florals No matchy-matchy florals here, mix painterly designs with ditsy prints on bedding, throws and cushions, or look for a reversible duvet cover that features both. 3. Add a button-back headboard An affordable way to update a bed without investing in a new one. Give this smart style a fun and surprising twist by choosing a sunny colourway. 4. Use baskets for storage Cotton, seagrass or wicker – baskets are the perfect boho solution for hiding clutter. Opt for ones with fringing, tassels or pom-poms for a nod to global style.
