While Sophie starts her mini renovation by smashing huge holes in the side of her house to

make way for some sexy new glazed doors, Kate is just back from Turin. She’s picked up

the keys to her 30 year dream, a place in Italy, and there are squeals of delight and horror as

it dawns on her that she’s starting another renovation project before the dust has even

settled at home. For those in need of some interior inspiration, be they big plans or small, we

review the latest crop of design books to inform you on the best way to do it.
