I love going through magazines when I’m looking for style guide inspiration especially, and since I’m working on the next guide at the moment. So, while I have all of them out, I thought I would take a few photos and share my list of absolute go-tos for inspiration.
There’s a combination of easy to find mags (like Domino and Cereal) along with some more obscure ones that I’ve found while we were traveling, etc. Hope you like ’em as much as I do…
In no particular order, here are a list of my fave magazines for inspiration…
1. Apartamento (really cool design / interiors magazine)
2.Cereal (amazing travel quarterly)
3. Milk Decoration (a quarterly look inside cool people’s home)
4. Aint Bad (new photographic art mag – it’s amazing!)
5. Cherry Bombe (celebrating women and food)
6. Lucky Peach (lovingly referred to as the rebel older brother of food mags)
7. Domino (home / interiors – who doesn’t already love this one!?)
8. Harvard Design Magazine (pretty self explanatory, no?)
9. The Gentlewoman (biannual fashion magazine)
10. Lightning Interiors (awesome mag from Japan)
11. Gather (food and stuff)
12. Drift (travel magazine)
13. Belong (blogging magazine for entrepreneurial women)
14. Artforum (art magazine)
15. Disegno (quarterly design journal)
16. Sweet Paul (cooking and crafting)
17. Kinfolk (we all know this one already, right?)
18. The Octopian (run by Jonathan Lo of Happy Mundane)
19. So It Goes (a mag dedicated to all aspects of the arts)
20. The Great Discontent (interviews with inspiring people)
21. Monocle (business, culture, design, and more)
22. Darling (a mag that celebrates women)
23. Atomic Ranch (mid-century home inspiration)
