    Advantages Advantages Plenty of ideas and examples for all budgets

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slightly pricier than some other glossy house magazines

    Still waiting to move house, feels like I'm going to be here forever, how many people feel like that?? So what with chocolate in hand and a home magazine, life can be escaped for an hour or two (not the chocolate though, that's about 5 seconds)! IPC media who publish this magazine is one of UK's leading consumer magazine publishers selling over 350 million copies each year (so someone else is trying to escape too! or they might be just a little luckier than me and have just got their dream home to attack with wonderful new ideas)?? reaching 70% of UK women and 50% of UK men - 28 million UK ... more

    Advantages Advantages Nice paper

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Boring

    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… Ideal Home is apparently “Britain’s best-selling decorating magazine”, the Consumer Magazine of the Year 2000 (Periodical Publishers Association), Circulation Excellence Award winner 2000 (Association of Circulation Executives) and comes out each month with a cover price of £2.60. Garn, you toffs, you know it’s just one example of a coffee table mag for those ... more

    Advantages Advantages Colourful Glossy Superb Photographs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lots of adverts for expensive items

    If you have a desire to look into the homes of the well heeled and the rich and famous then reading through the pages of Ideal Home is arguably the best method.At least it is legal. Ideal Home ,a glossy,colourful,monthly is published by IPC Publicaions Ltd, and is one of their "quality magazines" There must be quite a lot of people interested in the likes of expensive homes,costly furnishings and interior decoration,for the circulation is around 300,000. The quality is epitomised by its "perfect binding", ie,just like a paperback with glued spine. Almost all the pages are in colour and it is ... more

    Advantages Advantages A magazine bursting with home information and ideas

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    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.. But there are no articles that refer to `muddy boots and dog hair` !..a common problem in my home ! There are pages devoted to showing you just how beautiful a room can look,from the marbled Bathroom to the shabby chic living room. The magazine covers each and every style of home showing Victorian splendour,French chic,Traditional ... more

    Advantages Advantages Glossy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too minimalistic and changing rooms in style now

    What has happened to Ideal Home Magazine..It used to be my favourite buy, but since having a new editor,it has become just another women's magazine - to me anyway. At one time each page was covered with photos of beautiful homes decorated with style and character,however,this is no longer the case. The Ideal Home (according to the editors of this magazine anyway) is now cold,minimalistic and totally boring, only brightened with the odd use of bright green, orange and purple (as wildly used in the television series Changing Rooms). It is not my intention to insult anyone whose home is decorated ... more
