Subscriber Reviews
All ads, not much else
I ordered a subscription to this magazine and am incredibly disappointed. There are more ads in the magazine than there are anything else. The few articles and pictorials they have are okay, but being able to read a magazine cover to cover in under an hour isn't very satisfying, even if there was 1 or 2 interesting articles.
Subscribe at all costs!
While other reviews are far from glowing, I find that I love this magazine and await its arrival each month. While there are plenty of ads (like any magazine), these ads are as interesting and visually stimulating as the wonderful articles. I subscribe to over 10 architecture and interior design magazines and this is by far my favorite. It highlights interiors which are stylishly current while staying traditionally rooted. Definitely an Urbanist's magazine.
Get UK Elle Decor Instead
As another reviewer pointed out, the British version is much better, with great features and much better graphic layout. The U.S. edition is all ads with very little interest or resources regardless of your budget. Skip the U.S. version totally.
