Home Decor Magazine Addiction? Try Lonny

I’m always replacementing for inspiration … pillows, throws, drapery and bedding.

Stacks of decorating magazines are on my bed, under my chairs, any spare tabletop, everywhere! The most recent magazines get stuffed into my pocket pillows along with a pad of stickies and a highlighter. If that isn’t enough, I’m constantly sneaking to my laptop for a quick design blog fix.

Sifting through online or hardcopy home décor / design magazines is like panning for gold. I hit the mother lode when I found the February issue of Lonny Magazine online. It’s one of the best I’ve read in ages.

Here’s the top 10 reasons why you’ll love it too.

1) Its free! I don’t know if they will start paid subscriptions, so hurry and snap up their first 3 editions FREE!

2) I can digitally “stack” it with the other issues saving space and paper.

3) I can save favourite items for my lookbook by using my laptop’s “print screen” button. I open Picasa (free Google photo editing software), press button. Easy peasy!

4) It 219 pages of useful, interesting and FRESH information without being top heavy with advertisements.

5) It has interactive links all over the pages. Oh I love this part!!! When I want info on an item I can click on the picture and get a live link to product information. What a time saver and no more frustration flipping back and forth to source products.

6) Wide product price range. It seemed the higher the page number the higher the item prices. I love it!!!

7) Information is manageable for layman like me without being too technical or esoteric. Check out page 110 for a good idea board! Very visual LIKE ME!!!

8) Stories, stories, stories! Loved their designer top 5 tips. Page 66, 81 and more.

9) All my favourite interests like DIY, eco, traditional flair, glamour, pillows, pillows and more pillows.

10) Products relevant to me and my clients. I must have good taste, because here are 5 items/ fabrics that are similar to items in my store. Check them out!! Lonny Magazine February 2010.
