Back Issues

Welcome to the new-look Renovate.

This issue of Renovate leaves no corner of beautiful home inspiration and renovation glory untouched. With a slick new design and fresh outlook, the issue synthesises with the launch of the new global Renovate website. We have delved into the understanding that “dare to be different” is the key to live by. Eclectic trends, and 2017 interior forecasts show how no renovation is the same, and no interior has to suit the stylistic nature of the rest of the world.

Paired with stunning photography, Sweden showcases their Scandinavian adornment in forms of dark inky hues and jewel tones whilst graduating with a sense of Industrial function. 

A focus on locality, Annandale Farm nestled at the tip of New Zealand’s Banks Peninsula parades a blasé rusticity, that proves a force to be reckoned with, exploring the raw energy and utter convenience a small piece of land can have.

This issue also burrows into texture, colour and pattern and edifies how to achieve maximalist living trends with mood board palettes.

Professed advice on all things home related, the issue also celebrates up and coming interior designers, and our favourite corner store options.

Aid from our resident experts and writers will leave any reader feeling well informed, as they elevate from the norm, and delve to be different.

Packed with beautiful content from an international hoard of architects and designers, the issue proves an aesthetically pleasing guide to all things Renovation, through expert advice, inspirational imagery, and descriptive content.”
