I was a Metropolitan Home subscriber, and as an artist, I enjoyed the color, variety, and design influences in the magazine. When the publisher ceased Met Home, they gave me the remainder of my subscription in Elle Decor. Beige, ecru, eggshell, dull and traditional. No thanks. I think they killed the wrong magazine.

Elle Decor is my favorite interior design magazine, along with House Beautiful--I team-teach interior design to adults and am always looking for stylish rooms, the latest design trends, and beautiful images to share with the class. Elle Decor delivers. I anticipate its arrival each month. The magazine is great for training your eye as to what's interesting, stylish and beautiful in today's design world. If you are wanting to update any tired and boring rooms in your home, or rooms you're bored with, it's great for showing you what's new or being reinterpreted in a fresh way. Then you can pick and choose what appeals to you.

Taste is about exposure and Elle Decor exposes you to what top designers are doing today so you can incorporate the elements you like in your own home. It features all kinds of rooms and styles in diverse colors from monochromatic to bright colors. One great exercise is to challenge yourself to find something you like in each room even if you don't particularly like a room--it can be a lamp, a rug, a pillow, or piece of art, but you begin articulating and stretching your taste. If you're looking for fresh, sophisticated, interesting design, consider a subscription.

A stunning magazine full of lush, modern rooms. Yes, there is little here that the average person can afford, but I don't want a design magazine that looks like a Pottery Barn catalog.I look at a design magazine for inspiration, and I read Elle Decor from cover to cover, including the ads.Many of the rooms are bursting with color. I find all kinds of ideas for accessorizing my house even though my budget is limited.If you have ever wondered how to put together all the items you've bought over the years in a way that pleases the eye, read Elle Decor!

I wont be renewing. Lots of ads and extreme prices. Pretty pics and few good ideas, but will try House Beautiful next time.

I have subscribed to Elle DECOR for several years now, and consider it one of the very best decor magazine. I can't wait to get my issue every month and it's cheap too, since you can always find a good deal on it on the net.
Love it!!

Elle Decor - simply the best. Wonderful, eclectic decor - sophisticated, original, beautiful, always. Inspirational, thoughtful. The best American decorating magazine.

I COMPLETELY echo everything that Linda A. wrote above, and couldn't have said it any better, and would only had that most all the homes featured are of the uber-rich, making it uninteresting and inaccessible.

ELLE Decor is a well-illustrated Magazine with lots of images and ideas on how to decorate your home or to improve its looks without spending money in hiring a professional Decorator.
I like the Magazine a lot. Maria Rennard

Just a word of caution for those interested in subscribing - I really enjoy this magazine but I have chime in with some recent reviews that the publisher is very slow in getting this subscription going. A little over two months ago I ordered several magazine subscriptions and so far my first issue of Elle Decor has still not arrived where several other subscription were received within 5-6 weeks.

as far as the magazine goes, from my past ED issues I find it the homes they feature have a great balance between modern, eclectic and chic design - definitely leans toward lux!

This is a pretty decent magazine - more advertisements than I'd like though. I don't get inspiration out of every magazine, but it's a nice addition to my other decorating magazines.
