Ideal Home Reviews

The Ideal Home,something that I will never own ! But just looking through the magazine that is jam-packed with ideas makes up for all of that. A glossy covered magazine that is bursting with inspiration on how to design,decorate and furnish your home in the style of your choice. But there are no articles that refer to `muddy ...

I don’t have many vices but can’t resist buying home magazines. I have been buying Ideal home magazine for as long as I can remember and still get pleasure from opening the cellophane wrapper and turning the first page of this magazine. Well I don’t get out much these days! Ideal home magazine is published by IPC media, a huge ...

Blimey, what's the old duffer ranting on about now? I can hear you mouthing in the background, well, trust me, treasures, all will become clear later on, but if you can't wait then race to the end and find out what the hell I'm on about...

I stopped buying this mag a long ago because I caught myself on basically. For all that's in it two minutes looks at it still on the shelf. The adverts I must say take up most of your time and they are not very interesting either. Why do we put up with this and still keep buying it and these people still churn it out. Because we do. ...

My theory here is that if you were to remove all of the advertisements from this magazine you would be left with a very thin leaflet. I buy it for the simple reason that I am nosy about other homes.
