Your Home

What a super magazine Your Home Is. I have been buying it since the first issue and as I buy a lot of these types of magazine because of my great interest in interior design, a magazine has be be good to live up to some of the competition. (There are many other great home style mags out there too). What I really like about this particular title is the fact that the products they feature are affordable and the interiors featured use items which can be obtained by any of us. (Not like, say, Ideal Home which includes products way out of my budget). Readers' homes are trendy, of all styles, often colourful and individual (not just like showhomes) and ...  Read the complete review

Moving house and needing inspiration for completely updating the decoration and fittings on a limited budget is a tall order. Since moving house at the end of April we have been looking for inspirational ideas for decorating. Its ok to have ideas, but putting them into practice and spending your hard earned cash ia=s another. So I have become addicted to but=ying and trawling through "inspirational home magazines". This is how I came across Your Home. Most of the magazines retail between £2-3.00 and claim wonderful things. Very few offer affordable, practical ideas for average budgets. Thats where Your Home comes in, ...  Read the complete review

A lively, colourful magazine for anyone interested in house and garden Much of it is centred upon objects that are currently available in the shops, and although many would regard this as advertising, it can be useful and inspire you. I would say "Your homes" has more of this than other similar magazines, though. There are usually a few cheap and cheerful makeover ideas, from small ordinary houses as well as rather grander places owned by architects or whoever. The "before" pictures are a bit too small to really let you compare them with the "after" pictures. There is even a "No money makeover", which is what it ...  Read the complete review

Your Home magazine is pretty good, has lots of inspiration and is not terribly expensive. It is, in my opinion, one of the better home decorating magazines available out there. But isn't it annoying that, once you drool over some fantastic mosaic or incredible extension featured on a "reader's home", you find that these people are usually architects, designers or artists. In fact, at the end of the article you can find small print that says "Mrs so-and-so is available for commissions on tel..." So it isn't really an "average reader" but a talented one, and advertising their talents to boot! I have nothing ...  Read the complete review
