Issue 160

Editor's Welcome

There’s a lot to be said for working with what you’ve got. That’s not to say you have to settle for anything less than your dream – your dream dining table, your dream bathroom, your dream home. But putting this magazine together has shown me that, in most circumstances, those things are often right under our noses. There is no requirement to buy new or spend crazy sums in pursuit of crafting the perfect home. Pause, take a closer look at your surroundings, and you might find that all you need is an upgrade or two, a bit of imagination and a gentle zhuzh.

That’s what many of the features in this new season’s edition have in common. In Argyll, for example, architecture studio Cameron Webster has created a startlingly impressive build that cantilevers out over the craggy rocks of Loch Long, on a very limited plot of land that once belonged to the MoD.

Interior designer Alex Strachan bought an Edinburgh townhouse – a well-loved family home before she got the keys – and looked at what she could refurbish, rather than replace. Furniture has been reupholstered, artwork has changed position, carpets have been peeled back, unveiling period features now celebrated under her careful watch.

At Borradill, in the far north-west, designer Claire Mookerjee has repurposed a couple of Swedish timber lodges – her way of reconnecting with the Ardnamurchan peninsula where she holidayed over the years. Here, she has looked to the wilds of this unspoilt corner of Scotland, and refashioned the pair of wooden escapes for others to enjoy.

Granted, this is all professional-level zhuzh-ing, but you could always cover that footstool, paint that door frame and enjoy what you might find right under your nose.
