Though we've been missing some of our favorite print publications this year, we have really enjoyed all the magazine-format upstarts debuting on the web.
1. Ivy & Piper
The brainchild of two talented designers, this webzine has a decidedly glammy point-of-view, taking interiors inspiration from travel and fashion.
2. Adore Home
This Australian home and lifestyle book was created by designer Loni Parker to explore market trends down under and throughout the world.
3. 1 By Fryd
A bright white Scandinavian vibe washes over each of the wonderfully simple inspiration shots.
4. Laura Day Living
This webazine functions as a portfolio for the designer and is organized by metaphorical room.
5. Nesting Newbies
The goal in this food-rich magazine is to inspire comfortable lifestyles for real people with real flaws and constraints.
6. Glo
Created in partnership with MSN, Berman Braun, and Hachette Filipacchi, there are design, fashion, and general lifestyle features in this booklet.
7. Rue
If you want a wide-ranging interior design read, this one covers homes, entertaining, and much more.
8. Z2: At Your Leisure
Available both online and in print, this title is heaviest on graphics, layout design, and fashion.
9. Standard
Rather than pointing out each time a featured product is particularly green, you can safely assume that anything featured in this publication has environmental sensitivity built-in.
10. Anthology
Either online or on the page, editors strive to unfold design stories within the context of personal narrative.

Rue indeed...I miss REAL magazines that i can read while sitting on the couch with a cup of tea. And i miss having pages to tear out and put in my design notebooks. I wish these were on the newsstands instead of online...
Absolutely, King Tiny. I just can't READ webzines. Look at the photos, yes. But I can't read on screen.
I too wish these were printed publications.
I too prefer actual magazines to webzines, but online is better than nothing! I also like it from an environmental standpoint. Now instead of my old notebook of magazine clippings, I use Evernote to save pictures I like.
Another webzine I have really been enjoying is Lonny (lonnymag.com). I think you can order print copies, but they are very expensive.
I truly miss real magazines but I will definitely check these out. Thank you.
Another vote for real magazines! I appreciate these publications but I miss print media. I tend to look through the photos online once but don't make much of an effort to read the content.
how about links that go DIRECTLY to the zines? its really frustrating having to be a super sleuth to find them.
This is a good idea.
I recently renovated my house and tried an online guide(www.hometoolsdepot.com) for this.
Thanks
While I love the eye candy, I do have to give a shout out for real magazines. Too many online magazines have horrible layouts. Just because you have a bunch of fonts doesn't mean you should use them (all). It takes a real eye to achieve a balanced layout design. While I love to rearrange my furniture I would never consider myself an interior designer. Just because someone has photoshop doesn't mean they are a graphic designer. Sorry, just a sore point with me.
They are all nice, I'm sure, but I like REAL magazines.
Sigh, I'm a dinosaur.
I agree about the layout of some of online magazines especially Ivy & piper it's dreadful! A slapped together scrapbook. Images taken from anywhere and placed on a page. You can't call this a magazine these girls would never make it as graphic designers. My favorite is (Adore home) it's fresh,new and exciting and the layout is the big wow factor for me. I think Adore home gives all these magazines a kick to the kerb.
I wish I could get all of these in print. It's nice to curl up on the couch with a throw, cat, hot chocolate, etc and browse something non-pixelated.
can I add one to the pile? I also love to curl up with a real magazine at a coffeeshop away from the kids - I already have to stare at the computer all day at work that I don't want to do it on downtime. I would gladly pay more for a real magazine in hand if it helps these publications get off the ground!
(I just got the anthology magazine a few weeks ago - look forward to curling up with it over the holiday break!)
But wait: has anyone noticed the amount of recycled content (not just ideas) in some of these magazines? I can't even remember which ones I am referring to, but having looked at 3, I know I've seen many featured first on AT- to the point that one whole magazine was something I'd seen before. But then as I continued to look I saw that two of the magazines were literally featuring the same rooms. For new "publication" I would think this kind of redundancy wouldn't be normal. That said, I really enjoy reading LONNY- when I can get through to the link. It took me over a month of trying to finally be able to view their latest issue. I hope something is being done about that.
What online mags have over print is more content and less advertisement. For free, I consider this change more bang for my buck. The average 238 page print design magazine with that much actual design featured in it would be a special issue costing $10.
