House Beautiful (2-year) [MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION] [PRINT] Reviews
I just received my first two issues yesterday. This magazine is page after page of advertisements. The thing that really bugs me about that is – companys run the same advertisements in the same magazines again and again so two issues are virtually the magazine since there are very few articles.
For some reason even the articles in this magazine get lost because they have the same look as their ads. One article was suppose to be tips from over 125 top designers – what it really was – 125 designers listed with addresses and phone #s and a couple of tips on each page of that section.
I’m really disappointed. For a GREAT magazine, try Southern Living. For a REALLY GOOD magazine, try Better Homes and Gardens.
Of the many shelter magazines I subscribe to, this has to be in the top three. This magazine is a huge improvement over what it was even a few years ago. A good mix of freshened up traditional, fun, and not-too-concretey modern interiors. Not as funky as Domino, often more current and fun than Veranda and Southern Accents. More traditional (and liveable) than Dwell, and way less beige than uninspirational Architectural Digest. Less old-world than World of Interiors. House Beautiful features interiors you’d actually want to live in.
This magazine is a good source of inspiration … however, unless you are a professional interior designer, there is a strong likelihood that you will find this magazine intimidating, as I do … still, the photos are wonderful.
