Letter<br />
The two houses in this month’s issue could not look more<br />
different. One is a maximalist extravaganza of theatrical<br />
ideas and quirky collections – the other a pared-back,<br />
Scandi-inspired oasis of calm and neutral colours.<br />
But underneath their very diverse styling, they share something<br />
fundamental: both of these dream homes were brilliantly coaxed<br />
out of what you might politely call very ‘ordinary’ houses.<br />
With more and more people wanting homes that reflect a<br />
contemporary lifestyle, with kitchens and multi-use living spaces<br />
flowing out into the garden, starting with the more spread out<br />
plan of a 20th century house can be much easier than trying to<br />
coax the same feeling out of an up and down Victorian terrace.<br />
So bravo to these clever homeowners for seeing the potential.<br />
As we find ourselves in new pencil case season, there is plenty<br />
to inspire you to embrace autumn. In our education <strong>supplement</strong>,<br />
we look at many different aspects pertaining to that crucial<br />
‘which school?’ decision, from the importance of non-academic<br />
experiences to the new options in boarding.<br />
Our particularly fabulous fashion feature, shot in the amazing<br />
new skate park built in the old swimming pool on Hastings sea<br />
front, will make you feel excited about updating tailoring.<br />
And if you feel you need help with that – look no further<br />
than our fashion-tastic competition, with a prize worth £750,<br />
including a personal styling session, £500 to spend in Fenwick<br />
Tunbridge Wells and a makeover at the new Charlotte Tilbury<br />
make-up counter there. I just wish I could enter…<br />
Enjoy your Surry <strong>Homes</strong>!<br />
