The May/June 2018 issue of House and Home magazine is just about to sashay onto newsstands and if we do say so ourselves, it’s a good’un. So, what’s inside?
1. 20% off at Foxford Woollen Mills
Because who doesn’t love fresh sheets day? Us! Foxford is best known for specialising in luxurious woollen throws. Based in Co Mayo, it weaves fabric inspired by the landscape of the West of Ireland, yet it is informed by a very modern aesthetic. Gorgeous bedding, furniture and woollens are all on offer and you can get 20% off – all you need to do is pick up a copy of the new issue to get your discount code to either shop online or bring instore.

2. Three amazing real homes
We’ve gone truly international this issue. From a fabulous period residence in Edinburgh that’s full of Georgian charm (above) to an Antebellum pile Scarlett O’Hara would have been right at home in, located outside of Atlanta, Georgia and a lovely rented re-do in Co Kildare, there’s something for every budget and taste in the new issue.
3. Trends are tapped
We know you’ve got Insta and Pinterest so that’s why we work extra hard to define the trends as they emerge for you: this issue, discover circus, patina and watermelon. You’re welcome.

4. We’ve got a kitchen makeover (and there’s a dog!)
Everyone loves a good kitchen makeover and this issue, fashion editor Linda Conway (above) opens up her beautiful bespoke kitchen to House and Home and takes us through the process of what a full renovation involves. With extra cockapoo puppy. Squee!
5. There’s tonnes of solid advice
Our new Guides section is designed to cut out ‘n’ keep – it contains reference features packed with solid help and words of wisdom which you can use now or hang onto until you need them. This issue, we’ve got a three-week garden makeover and a really helpful guide to making over your hall.

6. Help for the rooms that need it
We know you’re mad about bathrooms and kitchens so this issue we’re looking at flooring options for the hardest-working room in the home, and for bathrooms, it’s all about colour. Brights are in, have you heard? So if you’ve still got that avocado suite, congrats – you’re on-trend again!
