It’s easy to scroll through Instagram these days to get your fix from the world of interiors and design. While this is great for inspiration of course, it lacks a depth of information and context in comparison to Italian design and interiors magazines. This post is for those who are not only interested in magazines, but love reading them too. Of course, if you don’t speak or read in Italian, the images will have to suffice.

Design and Interiors Magazines
There’s no doubt that Italian design and interiors have made a huge impression on the international scene. Italian interiors and design magazines have also made a lasting impact on how this news is presented and shared.
In my home, there will always be more room for books and magazines. I’ve gotten clever (I’d like to think) over the years in arranging, displaying, and storing them to make it seem like I’m a collector rather than a hoarder. In reality, it’s probably a bit of both, but what can I say? They spark joy for me. Marie Kondo would understand.
How about you? Do you still make space for print magazines and books in your home? If so, Elisabetta already shared her own ideas on how to display your magazines in your own home. Italian design and interiors magazines or Italian Design Books also make thoughtful gifts.
