Metropolitan Home [MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION] [PRINT]

Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Filled with the latest in home design inspiration, Metropolitan Home offers its readers full-color layouts of innovative and classic homes, insightful commentary on architectural trends and interior decoration, and notes on home peripherals in its "TechNotes" and "Collecting" sections. Beautiful home pictorials offer a wide variety of visual examples for the aspiring designer. The magazine tends to focus on multibedroom homes, but it does sometimes branch out to cover smaller city dwellings such as apartments and condominiums, and even, in one 2001 issue, rooftop gardens. --Jonathon Tudor

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb quality, October 30, 2001

By	red_ber (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews

Looking for a nice well-rounded magazine with the major focus on contemporary interior design? Miss superb printing quality, clean European lines, meticulous attention to details? You've got it all in this magazine. After moving here in the US from a major European capital, I have frankly missed a good magazine with the latest trends in metropolitan interior design. Architectural digest is great if you live in a grand mansion in Ladue, but what if you want simple and elegant functionality of a nicely designed European apartment or loft in your typical suburban house. This magazine has been a delight to read (nice coffee table edition too). It has been a source of ideas and inspiration for me for several years now. Recommend highly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good bathtime reading., November 4, 2002

By	P. Blackburn "mr. right now" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Nothing challenging here. Rather than offering interesting architectural and design fare, MH is a decorating magazine full of expensive items (most of the most interesting ones are in advertisements, of which this magazine is at least 50%) that most people cannot afford. The articles are well-written in a good, direct style that doesn't attempt to impress with name-dropping ("Architectural Digest") or insist that design is a political action committee ("Dwell"). My biggest gripe is that the article headings promise much, but the delivery is scanty. Rather than give the reader something to really ponder (say, a design problem or an unexpected renovation snafu and its respective solution), the articles, despite their admirably simple, terse style, ultimately talk down to the reader. I would advise going to the supermarket and paging through MH before subscribing.
I would really like to subscribe to a magazine that discusses great home design and features truly innovative approaches in a modern style devoid of the minimalist, warehouse affectation that has become so tired, yet is still the coin of the realm. P.S. MH, please ditch the recipes - I have that subscription already.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best decorating/home products magazine around!, October 26, 2001

By	Beck Barendrick (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This is by far the best general decorating magazine on the shelves. It's got a great classic/urban/hip/but-not-too-edgy asthetic, and features some cool architectural articles as well. There's a fun 'what's the value of my antique' column every issue, as well as a list of hot new products and a feature where they decorate a room 2X -- once for about $1mil and again for about $1thou, and they look almost identical!
Very cool mag.
