WINTER 2026 | Mid-Western Living HOME | 3 WELCOME HOME Can you believe it’s been a whole year of HOME? What began as a new addition to Mid-Western Living has quickly grown into one of our favourite sections of the magazine. A space dedicated to the people, businesses and ideas helping shape the homes and lifestyles of our gorgeous region. Over the past 12 months, we’ve had the privilege of stepping inside beautiful homes, sharing renovation journeys, spotlighting local makers and connecting our readers with an incredible range of businesses across interiors, building, styling, landscaping and design. This Winter Issue continues that journey, filled with inspiration for the cooler months ahead. From fireside grazing and thoughtful renovations to local suppliers, layered interiors and spaces designed to truly be lived in, HOME is all about celebrating the way we live. Thank you for continuing to support the businesses featured in these pages and for welcoming HOME into your homes over the past year.
