About

Local Living Guide is an editorial publication about the textures of country home life: seasonal routines, household customs, rural craft, garden pastimes and the quiet pleasures of making a place your own.

What we cover

Our subjects begin close to home. We consider how rooms are used through the year, what makes a handmade object useful, how gardens change with the seasons, and why familiar customs endure. Stories are chosen for their lasting interest rather than a passing trend.

Who it is for

The publication is for readers curious about country households and the everyday choices that shape them, whether they live in the countryside, visit it often or simply enjoy learning how places and habits fit together.

How we approach a subject

We favour clear explanations, thoughtful comparisons and ideas readers can adapt to their own circumstances. A country home is not one fixed ideal, so we make room for different tastes, budgets, traditions and ways of living.
