Magazines are being replaced by the internet today which has made life so much easier. It is so much cheaper and easier to look at Pinterest for your creative ideas than to go through many decor magazines to find the look. But there is something about finding a special place to escape and read your favorite magazine which is why I wanted to share my top 10 favorite home decor magazines.

SPECIAL MOMENTS
I am all about doing one little thing every day that makes you feel special. Some of my favorite things to do are a hot bath while looking at a magazine, going for a walk or watching my favorite television show.
I think we all need a moment or two to decompress every day.
How special it is nowadays to get a magazine subscription. It is pretty cool and fun to get them in the mail which is, even more, a reason why I was excited to share my top 10 favorite home decor magazines.
I have gotten some great inspiration from decor magazines from gardening to painting projects.
MARTHA STEWART LIVING
Okay, so if you’re a less is more kind of person and have a love for retro then this is the magazine for you.
I love Martha Stewart Living!
You get more than just decor magazines. You will get inspiration from craft projects, recipes, gardening, entertaining and so much more. You will feel special just reading it, and will be inspired by something within its pages.

In the old country, there is plenty of vintage stuff which makes this magazine perfect if you’re an old soul too. One thing I love about this magazine is I always get vintage ideas to incorporate into my home and some fun ideas also.

Southern Living was the magazine subscription to have when I was growing up.
Southern Living has much to offer any reader. You will find it well balanced between home decor, recipes, entertaining, travel in the south and much more.
Some of the best places to visit in the Southern states you will find in this magazine.
I also love love, love that Southern Living has an Idea House for people to visit featuring a designer, contract, and architect. Southern Living is a fantastic magazine to escape into especially if you love southern style home decor and travel.

Just like the name of this magazine is all about traditional homes.
If you are drawn to the classic style and living well, then I would highly recommend this magazine. First, let me say that this magazine has great interior design elements and will feed your creative juices.

HOUSE BEAUTIFUL
I always considered Traditional Home and House Beautiful to be hand in hand.
But if there was one thing I can say that makes this magazine different is it has more contemporary qualities. So if you like a designer look with eclectic attributes, then this is your magazine.

You will find many ideas on Pinterest, but if you want a designer look, then this is the magazine to subscribe.

Conclusion
If you’re still wondering why you should subscribe to a magazine, then let me ask you a question. Do you like getting presents in the mail?
Well, a magazine subscription is like getting a present. You never know what will be inside the pages waiting for you. And who doesn’t like feeling special?
Just grab yourself a cup of sweet tea or your favorite drink and find your favorite places like a hammock or a hot bath and let your magazine take you away. I promise you it will be great!
