It's crazy to get this high quality magazine for only $5! Take advantage! If you're worried about auto-renewal issues, see my tried and true fix below. This is my second year of HGTV magazine, and it has yet to disappoint. It's jam packed with home redecorating ideas specific to the season. My absolute favorite part of this magazine is the "fun decorating" page in issue that shows expensive items and their cheaper alternative. (For example - a high end rug with a similar looking rug at over half the cost.) There's great advice on choosing paint colors for different rooms and how-to lessons on the correct way to refinish and paint furniture. I love the "spot the difference" advice as well - learning the differences between various furniture and home goods so you're on your A-game in any conversation. Also included is a great recipe in each edition. I've clipped many of these and they've turned out to be easy and delicious! Pretty much anything you can think of that has to do with your home is included in this magazine. If nothing else, it makes for a colorful and festive bathroom book that anyone can flip through and enjoy. My 12-year old daughter loves it for their crafts, cooking, and how-to advice. I love it as a cheap way to get ideas to spruce up my home. There aren't too many advertisements or wasted space either.
I haven't had any problems with unwanted auto-renewal of my magazines on Amazon as long as I follow these steps to turn it off:
1) Go to your account and look under Membership and Subscriptions.
2) Find "Print Magazines."
3) Once selected, you will see all of your current magazine subscriptions and when they will be renewed at the lowest Amazon price.
4) Simply turn off the "auto-renewal" setting by selecting auto-renewal settings and "turn off."
I've been subscribed to all of my magazines from Amazon for over 2 years now and have never had a payment request from the magazine company or a continuation of magazines arriving when I said I didn't want them to. It's easy and worry free.
Basically a catalogue of idea's and goodies that you can buy from various online sites that are new to me. I like that it has a feature on the last page that gives the names of all the paint colors that were used in the design rooms featured. Not brain food, but very relaxing and fun to read, plus I'm having fun scouring web stores I wouldn't hear about anywhere else!
Most home magazines are only about the pretty pictures, but HGTV is full of content you can actually use. (AND pretty pictures!) I’ve been a subscriber for years and also gifted a subscription to a family member who enjoyed it too. The one caveat is that the regular price is higher than comparable titles, but if you hold out and keep your eyes open, they have frequent discounts.
I absolutely love HGTV Magazine! I subscribe to about 15 different magazines and HGTV Magazine is one of my favorites! The photos are of amazing quality and the designs featured are absolutely beautiful. I have purchased many products for my home after seeing them in an issue. This is a magazine that I will continue to get for as long as it is in print! Also, purchasing the subscription on Amazon is a much better value than paying the listed price on a newsstand.
As an avid HGTV and DIY fan, when the magazine was offered for pre-sale, I jumped! And have continued to subscribe every year!
First, I'd like to address a few of the complaints, such as the amount of Advertising and apparent product push in the articles. This is business today, with the competition of the internet, newspapers and magazines rely heavily on the sponsors. It's a fact of our lives now.
Second, not every magazine will have all the answers. If the colorful, paint project filled, the cool high-lows aren't for you, I'm sure that out of the hundreds of design books, etc., you will find something!
As for me and my friends? We love to read it cover to cover! I enjoy the WOW! What color is That?? It's what helped me decide to go deep blue on our family room wall. I like the chandelier in the cage lights, and read a few articles about taking this and use part to make it work for you. That became sconces! I have a rare eye thing, so need a dim room; again HGTV magazine talked about recessed lighting! These are all just a few examples of how this magazine has impacted our home and life!
I Love Color!! Bright, clear, fresh color, with clean white and pure black! In an *ecletic glam* style and I always find a delicious nugget in each HGTV MAGAZINE that speaks to me!!

Description
HGTV Magazine is a fresh, new home lifestyle magazine that gives readers inspiring, real-life solutions for all the things that homeowners deal with every day -- from painting to pillows to property values -- in an upbeat and engaging way
One of my favorite magazines. Usually read from cover to cover as soon as it arrives. Great ideas for all budgets. I do not have access to the HGTV channel so this is all new info for me. If you like looking at houses and getting ideas for interiors or exteriors there are tons of bright pictures and suggestions inside. Nothing dull or drab. Cheerful. I look forward to receiving this magazine everytime.
Just when I thought it could not get better, and BAM it did. I can now help the environment, no paper magazine, and I can still have the magazine forever. Not to mention no more magazines laying around. I can take it with me everywhere I go. The colors are crisp, and picture perfect. A new convert to the digital format. KUDOS to HGTV.
I look forward to reading this every month. I can get through the whole thing pretty quickly, in one or two sittings. I always find good ideas in this magazine, though, so I’d recommend it.
I love the way contents are presented, along with a fairly substantial listing at the back end of the magazine to enable a person to "shop" for items featured in the publication. Only thing I did NOT appreciate regarding the magazine (which is why I am now subscribing through Amazon) is the way they "steamrolled" a promotion with automatically tying in a year-long subscription - when the promotion was MAILED to subscribers. I got really angry - cancelled the rest of my 2+ year direct subscription and re-subscribed through Amazon.
I read it cover-to-cover every month, save pages in a booklet for future projects. And read it again before discarding at the end of the year.
