Editor's Take

The strongest pages are the built projects: Alondon's Chelsea Waterfront pair on 26 and RVO Design's Amsterdam Canal House on 46 both name a real material or look, and Antolini stone is a specifiable detail. The Decorex cover spotlight on 15 with Jordan Larmour is a genuine trade reason to buy. The weakness is the volume of spotlight and showroom pages — Crittall, Franke, Alfa Tiles, C-Made and Neolith entries read as supplier copy, and the £3.95 price buys a lot of that. It suits a professional interior designer specifying for real projects, not a homeowner after decorating ideas.

Strengths
• Two London projects with named looks
• Amsterdam case names Antolini stone
• Decorex spotlight names the stand designer
• Ask the Designer gives usable surfaces

Weaknesses
• Many spotlight entries read as supplier copy
• Showroom showcase is a brand page

Verdict: Selective read — the projects earn it, the spotlight pages are trade filler.
