I have had a subscription to House Beautiful for a little over a year and have been pretty happy with it over all. I can't justify more than one subscription right now so I think next year I am switching to Canadian House and Home , its more my style.

Living etc. Simply the best.

Didn't see the $12 requirement. Buy one issue of Living etc...and save up.

I'm partial to The English Home, Traditional Home, House Beautiful, and This Old House. All are great magazines, but none of them are remotely like Domino. Have you thought of Elle Decor, perhaps?

I have to admit that when you post it all I can think of is magazines like Domino, NEST, and Blueprint and even ReadyMade, which no longer exist. I'm thankful that AT is filling in the gap.

Oh man I didn't realize that Metropolitan Home also doesn't publish anymore.

Not sure where you're writing from, but check to see if your public library has a subscription to Zinio. Mine, in Maryland, offers full access to digital editions of many of those magazines for absolutely free. It's my favorite new thing for my iPad. My library has Ideal Home, Dwell, Natural Home and Garden, Elle Decor, and House Beautiful available. Unlimited users, totally free (for you, if not the library), and you don't even need to return it.

Living etc. is the best (also the closest to Domino of anything out there). The cost is extravagant so I only pick up an issue here or there. Elle Decor is great. I also like Dwell and Atomic Ranch.

Elle Decor and House Beautiful are my picks.
.

If you enjoy watching HGTV, their new magazine is great and is one of the fastest growing magazines on newsstands right now for a good reason! Definitely worth checking out!

Dwell, Dwell, Dwell!!! Yes, I know it is heavy on architecture as opposed to 'How to Decorate your Mantlepiece for Every Season', but it is like education for your design eye, and has lots of lovely interior shots of the featured homes. I know that my bathroom reno was heavily influenced by Dwell, even though they do not explicitly feature bathrooms.

Elle Decor and Dwell.

While I definitely still miss Domino, and am further reminded when I see people toting the Domino bags that you used to receive with your subscription, I recommend you check out Lonny. Even though it's digital only, It was started by Michelle Adams (who used to be at Domino), and it's pretty great. And it reads like a magazine with it's online format. Check it out at www.lonny.com

Architectural Digest & Elle Decor.

Livingetc. Other mags try, but don't succeed at being both aspirational and accessible. Yes, it is a UK shelter magazine, but they have become much more international in the homes they feature.

I'll second (Canadian) House and Home. It's got that practical/doable big city vibe.

Still miss Domino! I have all of the issues on my shelf and occasionally think about getting rid of them or gifting them to make room, but I always decide not to. My rec would be British House and Garden, it's amazing.

Hallo from Austria! Your question has been now the reason, to log in in apartmentherapy :-)
I am collecting since years magazines and decided 3 years ago, only 1 to get monthly - ELLE DECORATION UK
It works perfect, I have it exactly on time in my postbox in a farmer Place, high up in the mountains and I am always very happy, to study the pages! The costs are around 80,00 Euro in the year.
All the best!

I definitely miss Domino, but have gotten quite attached to House Beautiful. The mag's design is nice and the editorial does a nice job of spanning myriad tastes and styles. I also like Dwell.

This is great! Thanks for the tip!

I like Canadian House and home, Style at Home (I think its called??) and HGTV magazine. currently deciding myself which one to go for, but I am leaning towards HGTV

I have been pretty happy with House Beautiful lately. I subscribe (digitally) to HB and Elle Decor and I prefer HB. I also get the print version of HGTV, which is good, but not great.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE House and Home. It's the first one I pick up...then LivingEtc. Too bad their price has risen a few bucks every year since I started reading it. Thankfully, I think H&H actually went DOWN. LOL

I go with HGTV Magazine too. I had a subscription to Dwell but didn't renew it. I found it to be more architectural and not enough how-to or home decor styling (which is what I look for in a magazine) to suit my needs. I did buy the 2 special editions of Domino this past year and really wish that magazine would come back!!

Lonny & Dwell

I've been a religious reader of House Beautiful for years, they are definitely one of my favorites, and rarely let me down. But...

Someone turned me onto a small magazine called Apartmento, which I think is based out of Spain. I like it because their features are very "real life". Just people in their beautiful lived in homes/apartments. Nothing staged, nothing styled. I love a well styled interior photo, but sometimes I don't want to feel guilty about owning a microwave.

You're welcome! Glad your library has it too!

I have to correct my last post. The name of the magazine is Apartamento. Not Apartmento

I had a subscription to Canadian House and Home, but I gave it up because every issue was practically the same. There was always a featured photoshoot of a white-walled house filled with the same modern furniture in every issue. I like that look, but over and over again it's just bland.

Before everything went digital I had a subscription to every shelter magazine it seemed at one time or another because I'm in the process of getting an interior design degree. It was beginning to overwhelm my small apartment as they were coming in faster than I could peruse them. I, too, miss Domino as well as Metropolitan Home, but I've narrowed my subscriptions down to just Interior Design (more contract than residential though) & Elle Decor. I've also picked up a few issues of HGTV & they seem fun & practical, too.

I read Lonny online. I buy Living Etc. every month, most issues of Canadian House & Home (being Canadian), Elle Decor UK occasionally and Dwell when the content is what interests me. I like Belle (Australian) but try to buy no more than 2 mags per month. I am always inspired by Living Etc. for its uniqueness.

Guess I'm old fashioned,I like Better Homes & Gardens. Never did understand the appeal of Domino.It told you what to buy,but didn't do much to inspire.Imo.

I like Traditional Home. I miss the print edition of Domino so, so much!!!

I actually like HGTV Magazine as well... Has some good DIY ideas, but it's a bit heavy on the "talent" and predictable...

I like HGTV. I also get Better Homes and Gardens because of a super cheap subscription deal. BH&G is good for what you pay for it.

Hi Kelsey, I'm assuming you're in the US? If so, my recommendation echoed by many others is Elle Decor, #2 would be House Beautiful - both similar to Domino or the also defunct Blueprint. I understand why some mentioned Dwell but I find it too architecture focused, not enough furnishings etc, & to my eye the production isn't quite as lush as the others - many of the photos are quite small. I occasionally read Better Homes & Gardens but don't think it's the same vibe as the others and not as similar to Domino; would put the HGTV mag in same category as BH&G. Ex US there are many good (English language) pubs from Canada, the UK & Australia, as others mentioned - Living Etc, Elle Decor UK & so on, which I pick up from time to time at B&N or upscale newsstand when I want to splurge, because they're not cheap outside their home market. Online, Lonny is closest (as others pointed out, it's by former Domino-ite Michelle Adams); I also enjoy Rue, Est, and especially Covet Garden - the deal for the latter is it's short & focuses on a single home, so a quick read/break. Thanks to others for some I hadn't heard of, I'm going to check them out myself.

Personally, I perfer designs sites rather than magazines. Most of the pages are ADVERTISEMENTS. What a waste of money in my opinion....I realize that doesn't help you decided but that's just my 2 cents.

I've recently become enamored with Country Living, after picking up a copy at the dr's office and loving it. Not at all what I'd consider "country," but heavy on the industrial/casual decor vibe, with plenty of hipsterish eating & shopping local suggestions.

Living Etc.

Also love Marie Claire Maison.

I completely agree! I LOVE Living Etc...I just wish it wasn't so dang expensive. I also love Style at Home and Canadian House and Home.

Wow!!! I can't believe no one has mentioned www.NextIssue.com.

I received a gift subscription and for 1 flat price, I get to indulge in loads of magazines, including the following "shelter" magazines: Architectural Digest, Better Homes & Gardens, Coastal Living, Country Living, Elle Decor, Good Housekeeping, HGTV Magazine, House Beautiful, Traditional Home, and Veranda.

Just like englishdaffodil, I subscribed to Country Living after seeing it in my doctor's office as well. If you're into mid-mod homes/decor, try Atomic Ranch.

I wouldnt reccomend HGTV mag.I subscribe to several home mags and thought Id give it a shot,and not only has it been a pain actually GETTING it delivered,I found myself heartily bored after 2 issues.My top 2 faves are House Beautiful and traditional Home.I find the others(Architecural digest,Elle decor,etc),while gorgeous,not realistic for my "dream home" fantasy,they only feature homes that are out of most everyones leagues.

Still miss Domino! ...... I like Dwell and INSIDE OUT (Australian Magazine).

House Beautiful..recently got this for $5 to extend my $10 subscription... and country living was only $5 last year and $8 this year but it was 2 for 1...so one for me and one for friend... which is $4 for each. watch amazon and frugalfreebiesand deals for special offers

I am partial to Maisons & Decors and Arts & Decoration. Yes, they're in French, but you just look at the pictures. Good recipes, too. Lots of places that were dumps and turned into fabulous homes or small hotels.

Domino Forever!

Atomic Ranch

How is it possible that nobody has mentioned the gorgeous, lovingly-created Anthology magazine?? It's not purely a "shelter" magazine, but it's full of inspiration for home decor, has seriously good articles that you actually want to read, and isn't too cluttered with ads. It only comes out four times a year, which is its only downfall. Give it a try!

Living, etc. is the best substitute for the late, beloved Domino (retiring Domino was downright cruel!). It is pricy though, so I share a subscription with my sister.

agreed. wish they'd do a u.s. version. save me some money and the time to find a place that reliably sells it.

I love to pick up Anthology, World of Interiors and Dwell. I only subscribe to Sunset, which isn't only a shelter mag but does have some cool houses every issue.
