Last month the Interior Design Masters magazine launched. Creating a quarterly publication that packs a punch on paper in the same way as the BBC’s flagship and most watched interior design show does for tv felt like a tall order but the incredible team involved rose to the challenge. Packed with interiors tips, features, projects, inspiration and competitions from some the UK’s most prominent names in design it offers a new perspective on how to transform your space. We’re incredibly proud to have been part of this project.
Thanks for all the incredible contributors - to name a few Michelle Ogundehin Sophie Robinson / Interior Designer MATT SMITH-WOOD Lia Gold | Interiors Gemma Gear Maxine Brady | Home decor & interiors | Brighton Emmely Elgersma Lynsey Ford Design Interior Design Masters
