As we enjoy an indulgent period of gifting, feasting, and enjoying the delights of the festive season, take some time out and enjoy a quiet read of the latest Homes & Antiques magazine. This issue, we’re here to help you make the most of this vibrant time of year.
In case you still have some last-minute buying to do (no judgement here) we ask six interior designers for their favourite shops, plus what they’re hoping to find under the tree.
Feel inspired by our cosy houses, all dressed for entertaining, and take tips from our styling feature, which shows you how to make natural materials shine.
We enter the glittering world of the music halls of yesteryear and discover why they were so beloved of the working classes. We also ask why – in a digital age – so many people are turning to vinyl records, as well as which are the rare ones to look out for.
As we fully embrace the alluring flicker of candlelight, Ellie Tennant delights in the beauty of antique candlesticks and candelabra.
Meanwhile Celia Rufey extols the craftsmanship and ideals of William Morris; Luke Honey reveals his love of rare-breed chickens and picks out some of the best poultry-themed collectables.
Plus we take a tour of Edinburgh and share the hotspots you need to have on your radar!
Enjoy a glimpse of what to look forward to in our January 2025 issue!
