Comparisons to Other Magazines:
House Beautiful has a clean-cut feel that celebrates a healthy indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Because it's all about the reader, House Beautiful does not endorse a particular style, region, or coast. It is an all-inclusive experience.

Awards:
Honors include: Interior Design Hall of Fame inductee, 1993 Circle of Excellence Award, International Furnishings & Design Association Star of Design Award and the Pacific Design Center Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy Special Interest Award.

Homeowners looking for design ideas will appreciate the wide selection of styles and treatments offered in House Beautiful. From the latest in simplistic style, new takes on Bauhaus-influenced furniture, lighter approaches to Victorian architecture, and a return to the gaudy patterns of 18th-century French room treatments, House Beautiful tends toward no particular school of design. It offers the best of a wide range of ideas, trusting the readers to make decisions of taste on their own. That said, one theme tends to run throughout. People looking for low-cost designs for small homes with simple architecture are more likely to find a sense of direction in these pages than those people of mightier means looking for the full-treatment solutions. --Brian Trinen

Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of The Top Three Best American Shelter Magazines
Informative, current, well-done.One ofthe very few that you can actually READ and learn something from.
A variety of interesting features every month.And beautifully photographed.

I receive probably ten different shelter mahgazines every month - and this is the only one I always keep.
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Watch out for Hearst magazine scams.
While I love the publication, please watch out for Hearst Magazine scams.I received a renewal invoice/letter regarding another Hearst publication, Popular Mechanics which I have never read, ordered, or received.[...]

When I emailed Hearst (there is no phone number for customer service) to let them know that I did not order this publication, they sent the following reply: "We have received your renewal order. When payment of [...] is received, service will continue through 12 issues." ... Read More
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Better than ever
I faithfully read almost all of the home magazines every month. House Beautiful, an old favorite, is better than ever today. More in tune with current looks without being too trendy --showcasing a broad range of personal styles and locations, in recent months I can hardly wait for the next issue!
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Useful content, good ideas!
I got this magazine and "Dwell" after buying a new-to-me house and needing ideas. What a contrast! This magazine has lots of useful ideas: most of the furniture is not outrageously expensive, and for many of the paint jobs they give you the details on the paint so you could walk into the paint store and buy exactly the same paint they used. I actually prefer the aesthetics of "Dwell" (mid-century modern is my heroin) but their ideas are completely unachievable, expensive, and vague. HB is a refreshing ... Read More
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cute, Easy Read
Got the magazine in less than a month! I had purchased the magazine before so I knew what I was getting.It is a cute easy read.Some months I like everything.This month they decorated a lake and beach house which are things I will never probably have so I just looked, but was not inspired.
