Words from the editor: Alice Lines

“Spaces that help us connect with people, places and individual preferences emerged as a theme as we put together this issue. As well as exploring the power of colour, form and special finds to support this - not to mention meeting creatives who’re deeply connected to their craft - we visited properties by architects, interior designers and a gardener to discover how they did it. If you’re not planning a build, renovation or a landscape overhaul, you can make connections in smaller yet still satisfying ways. I made my own the other day through the simple act of changing a lightbulb that had been casting a stark white light across our living room. With this easy update, the ambience of the space changed and our desire to spend time together in it increased. For you, as with me, something as easy as this or rearranging your furniture might facilitate better connections - with your family, your friends, your outlook or yourself.”
