Welcome to this essence autumn interiors supplement in which we primarily highlight ideas for the downstairs of the home. In this issue we look at design Barnaba Fornasetti, a master of design following in his father’s footsteps, and a modern day rag-and-bone man in the form of Paul Firbank, busy turning scrap into heritage
heirloom items on the Kent coast.
We consult kitchen, heating, lighting, technology, flooring and interior design specialists to provide advice and forecast the trends for next year;
our focus ranges from floors and fireplaces to wallpapers, space saving and technology. We also cast an eye over our shoulder back in history at some landmark designs that still have influence today.
We hope you’ll find ideas and inspiration that will prove useful for whatever you have planned for your home over the coming months.
