Free Interior Design Magazines

Free interior design magazines can be a great way to learn about interior design while saving enough money to actually see your design project through to completion! There are plenty of places for you to find free internet design advice, both online and in print publication form, so you should be able to learn your way around a color wheel without having to part with any of your hard earned cash.

When it comes to free advice about interior design projects for your home, the internet is going to be your best bet. Lots of web based magazines are out there that are chock full of good, clear, actionable ideas for you to give your rooms a facelift.

Of course, the internet is not your only option. Here are some other ways you may be able to score some internet design magazines for free:

• Check your local paper. Many local newspapers have weekly supplements offering design advice. Although the extent of the material available here varies greatly, from full length design focused magazines to a supplement with a few pages about design, the newspaper subscription you already pay for may have more design advice available to you than you may imagine.

• Free trial subscriptions. Many interior design magazines offer free trial subscriptions, but not all offers are advertised. Some trial subscriptions are offered to customers of furniture and home improvement stores, while you can find coupons for free trials on the internet for other interior design related publications.

One thing to keep in mind about free design magazines, however: not all advice sources are created equal. Sometimes you do get what you pay for, so before you start implementing the ideas you come across in a free magazine, check out reviews of the mag or the pedigrees of some of the authors. You should also rely on your common sense, of course. If a design magazine recommends you paint all the rooms in your home black and replace all of your carpeting with orange shag rugs, you don’t have to take the advice as chapter and verse!
