The Ideal Home..something that I will never own ! But just looking through the jam- packed magazine 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..

Advantages: cheap and helpful
Disadvantages: uses expensive model furniture etc

...on real homes. Your Home gives you helpful information on how to tackle diy jobs such as laying underfloor heating, putting up a shed and also more simple tasks like re-vamping a photo frame. This is a magazine aimed at women who want to do more than just pick a colour scheme or take up a curtain. Every month there are real make-over sections where people have written in with their own home-makeover (inc tips on how to do it yourself), jobs to do ...
...helpful ideas for brightening up your home. My only disappointment with YourHome is that i think when showing furniture/accesories they recommend they should keep in line with the whole concept of the magazine - cheap and cheerful. A lot of the furniture/accesories shown are out of my price range and i feel this may reflect a lot of readers opinions. However, do not let this put you off as this is still a top magazine. ...

The 'Celebrate Summer' section was most welcome as I gazed out at the dull Devon skies. 'The Restoration Man'... a story of a couple's renovation of their 16th century, North Devon home...was a joy to read...'the scars of a house are important'..this struck ...
...love the article about 'Benches,Seats and Settles. I surely need some comfort if I'm going to be a regular reader of this magazine! After getting lost in a few more 'delicious' homes, I then spent more of my summertime in a gorgeous Kent cottage garden! The colour burst forth from the pages and the scent was not far behind. I hope that the next isssue can live up to this one! ... Read review
