Real Living, Inside Out, Belle and Home Beautiful are my faves to flick through but really, I read anything devoted to houses and design 😉
Thanks for sharing Jen ! Interesting facts. I only recently found Luxury Home Design on holiday in the Whitsundays and a recent issue has been an absolute page turner – with one of my absolute favourite stores featured – the beautiful Ochre in the UK, and I also discovered what i hope to be my future kitchen ! Unfortunately in someone else’s lovely home .. I also love Belle for the overseas interest and my sister gives me it each year as a birthday subscription – its like a lovely gift each time it comes through the letterbox. I think Real Living seems to know its readership well – and i like its tips, style and colours. Surprised about VL though.
The other exciting news is that Belle won the Home & Gardens category of the Australian Magazine awards a week or so back! It’s great to see circulation increases in print publications 🙂
