Photography Sue Stubbs A word from our editor There’s something deeply satisfying about a good spring clean – putting things in order, decluttering surfaces, clearing out cupboards and going all Marie Kondo on your drawers. Who doesn’t love the extra light that permeates your home through just-cleaned windows, or the sunshine-filled fragrance of line-dried, freshly laundered sheets? Trouble is, dealing with the aftermath of winter’s effect on your home can feel like a really big job – but if you follow our room-by-room spring cleaning tips on page 40, it might make the task easier. This is just the right time to start getting outdoors into shape too, so we’re having a look at pressure washers (page 44) and sharing the tips and tools you’ll need to tackle the lawn, from page 47. We’re also taking a tour of a wonderful urban courtyard that can go from functional off-street parking zone to relaxed outdoor entertaining space in the twinkling of an eye, thanks to a host of inspiring ideas. Check it out on page 30. Enjoy the issue! Jane Parbury Editor Hidden gems Tool up! Treat yourself to a set of hand tools to celebrate the new season in the garden.
