New spring issue on sale now

Our spring issue is an invitation to try simple transformations to update and refresh

The longer days,  softer light, and promise of something new makes spring the season to roll up our sleeves and breathe new life into our living spaces. So this issue is all about simple, transformative ways to reflect nature and refresh. Upcycling takes centre stage, whether it’s reimagining furniture or repurposing old pieces. As well as inspiration on projects and materials, we take a look at how this creative, eco movement that Reclaim has always celebrated is taking hold on the high street.

Spring doesn’t demand grand gestures – just a shift in perspective. Our cover feature, Imogen Driver’s Victorian lodge, comes alive with vintage pieces and a touch of whimsy. For sometimes it’s a new arrangement of furniture, a rediscovered heirloom or a flea-market find given a personal twist that can bring fresh energy into your home. Similarly, Joanne Hardcastle has used wallpaper, colour and a few carefully chosen accessories to completely change the mood of her kitchen – all created in double quick time.

By working with what we have, seeking beauty in the imperfect, and celebrating the stories our homes tell, we can fully embrace a spring awakening! Here’s to a season of renewal, reinvention, and making the most of every little detail.
