HERE’S WHERE I TURN WHEN I NEED PRACTICAL TIPS OR A BURST OF CREATIVITY.
ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST
The international design authority and bible for beautiful architecture—a classic for a reason.
ELLE DÉCOR
The bible for design. I’ll always pick up the international editions when I’m in airports, too.
DO IT YOURSELF
This magazine is published by Better Homes & Gardens (they also do a whole series of special issues on say, kitchens or bathrooms, throughout the year) and is such a great primer for just about anything you want to DIY!
DWELL
All about modern design. Basically, if
Milk
and
Dwell
had a baby, that would be my design aesthetic in a nutshell.
HOUSE BEAUTIFUL
Also must-have plane reading, and the Web site has lots of helpful resources.
LONNY
An online magazine inspired by the original
Domino
.
MILK
Incredible French mag that focuses on children’s design and fashion.
MONOCLE
Focusing on global affairs, business, culture, and design,
Monocle’s
mission is to keep an eye on the world.
