House Beautiful Magazine

Pros: Great Ideas are found within the pages.

Cons: For me it's that this magazine represents a dream only.

The Bottom Line: Rating this magazine excellent for the content.

Review: As stated in my title, I call House Beautiful my dream magazine. Within the pages I see pictures of what I someday dream my own home will look like. The photographs are beautiful. The magazine gives you lots of great decorating ideas. My...

Pros: beautiful photographs, innovative ideas

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: House Beautiful is a beautifully photographed and interesting magazine featuring the best in home design and decoration.

Review: Although I'm sure I will never have a home even close some of the extravagant ones in House Beautiful, I still love the magazine. It's more of a WishBook for me than anything else. And what a WishBook! This magazine is full of the most beautiful...

Pros: great ideas, beautiful illustrations

Cons: none

Review: This is one thing that I don't dread opening the mailbox and seeing! It is by far the best magazine out there on decorating your home. I have been subscribing to this magazine for several years and must give them credit for alot of compliments that I...

Pros: Great, great, great

Cons: none

Review: Ever since I saw an article on hardwood floors in House Beautiful, I have been an avid reader. The article encouraged people with hardwood floors to take a chance and get rid of the carpeting! I gleefully ripped up my boring carpets and before I knew...

Pros: Collection of advice from many "professional" designers.

Cons: Expensive, Would be hard to recreate

The Bottom Line: A dream magazine. Room designs are absolutely gorgeous but not practical for our family. But, the professional advice is appreciated and can still be applied to our needs.

Review: Buying a new home means starting fresh with decorations. Decorating is one thing that I prefer to get right the first time because it can be very expensive. I had no idea how to decorate so started looking for magazine subscriptions to offset my poor ...

Pros: Inspiring photos, "Thoughts of Home" column

Cons: sometimes too chi-chi

Review: The magazine House Beautiful could never be said to be down-to-earth, but sometimes “heavenly” is a better accolade. When it comes to feeding our nesting urge with larger than life possibilities, and awakening our imaginations with new trends, classic...

Pros: Good balanced presentation of home design

Cons: no major cons

Review: House Beautiful is it.

When I began being interested in home decor I decided to subscribe to one magazine. I bought several at the newsstand to try out and settled on House Beautiful for my subscription. Why? I seemed to be the most...

Pros: Great images and ideas.

Cons: Actual products out of most peoples price range.

Review: In common with many other interior/ home decor magazines, House beautiful spouts forth brilliantly inspirational images of fabulous homes and gardens, (theres another one!)
Another similarity is the unattainable quality of many of these homes, in...

Pros: Great ideas

Cons: Caters to the richer society

Review: This magazine has exactly what you need to get great ideas for decorating your home. I wouldn't go out and spend what they do to accomplish the settings, but you can find items that are almost exactly like the ones in the magazine (furniture,...

Pros: Good Photos

Cons: A little too formal

Review: I bought an issue of this magazine and was impressed. I like the style although I do not find it very liveable for most families. It's great for people without children or who have extra rooms and comfort is not an issue. The rooms just don't seem...
