Advantages: interesting articles & lots in it

Disadvantages: occasional naff ideas

I’ve bought this magazine regularly for some time. It is a more practical home decorating magazine and is also more relevant to most people’s lives and budgets than some. There is a mix of short articles and longer features. Each month they feature some readers’ homes showing their decorating ideas. At the end of the article they show where you can buy and make similar items. Particular trends and rooms are also featured and there are ways to makeover old furniture. I like the way that there are similar items shown in cheap, mid and high price ranges. The guides to buying particular articles such as beds are useful and show you what you need to consider when shopping. A buy/sell/swap area lets readers get rid of or find items. There is quite a lot of information and it is very useful for people who are new to diy and decorating. Most of the ideas that are shown are realistic in terms of budgets, skills & time.
