AT Home with Sarah Beeny - December 2011 - (Page 11)

| editor’s letter| T he last six months has seen steady progress in my flat and it’s finally taking shape. My new (dark) wooden floors have transformed my hallway and living room – while neutral wool carpets bring comfort and luxury to my bedrooms. But, let’s face it, the festive season is a time to slow down and relax. It’s also a time to gather inspiration and ideas before next year’s frenzy of revamping your home. My to-do list for 2012 includes finding new window dressings, a compact dining table and a statement floor lamp (I quite like the look of the one on this issue’s cover). Oh, and I could really use a bright, elegant rug, such as the ones featured on pg 134. Whether you’re planning a full-on renovation or just a touch-up, you’ll find plenty of ideas in this issue. From kitchen updates and on-trend bathrooms to decorating and design techniques for spaces and budgets of every size, we’ve got it all covered. What’s more, because we know you like a good transformation just as much as we do, we’ve included three great makeovers for you to steal ideas from. Here’s to creating your best ever home for 2012. Have a great month. Welcome Rashmi Madan, Editor P.S.
