Inspiring Lifestyle Magazines Every Design-Lover Should Read

At Furnt, we believe a beautifully styled home begins with inspiration. Whether you're restyling your living room, refreshing your home office or simply indulging in some design daydreaming over a flat white, a well-curated lifestyle magazine is the perfect companion.

To help spark your creativity, we’ve handpicked four of our favourite lifestyle publications that blend interiors, culture, and modern living. Each one offers a distinct point of view and plenty of styling ideas to pair effortlessly with your favourite Furnt pieces.

1. Livingetc – For Modern Interiors with Edge

A firm favourite in the British interiors scene, Livingetc is the go-to for chic, contemporary home inspiration. With its bold photography, smart trend reporting and emphasis on individuality, this magazine is ideal if you love modern design that still feels personal.

Every issue explores stylish city homes, curated shopping edits, and features that align beautifully with our design ethos at Furnt – quality, character and a pinch of playfulness. Expect fresh takes on furniture styling, layout ideas, and colour palettes that effortlessly blend functionality with flair.

2. Cereal – For Minimalism and Mindful Living

If you lean toward minimal interiors and slow living, Cereal offers the perfect escape. With its calm aesthetic, clean design and gentle tone, this biannual magazine is as much a coffee table statement as it is a reading experience.

Cereal’s mix of travel, design and art feels deliberate and grounding. We love how it complements our own Furnt values – thoughtful materials, understated elegance and intentional design. It’s the sort of magazine that makes you want to declutter your space, light a candle and breathe easy.

3. The Gentlewoman – For Empowered Style and Tasteful Interiors

While The Gentlewoman focuses primarily on fashion and culture, its aesthetic voice and editorial depth speak directly to the modern homemaker. It’s stylish without being trend-driven and thoughtful without losing wit.

We love how the magazine profiles strong, creative women – many of whom share their homes and routines – creating an authentic lifestyle narrative. From mid-century chairs to velvet sofas, the homes featured often share Furnt’s passion for curated comfort and timeless quality.

4. Elle Decoration UK – For Global Design Inspiration

A staple in the interiors world, Elle Decoration UK delivers glamour, sophistication, and a global perspective. From city lofts in Copenhagen to countryside escapes in Cornwall, every issue offers an eclectic and aspirational mix of spaces.

We often spot Furnt-aligned themes in their pages – from earthy materials to plush textiles and bold accessories. Their 'trend forecast' pages are brilliant for early spotting of colours, shapes and finishes that work beautifully with Furnt collections.

Final Thoughts from Furnt

Magazines aren’t just for flicking through on a Sunday morning – they’re a brilliant way to train your eye, develop your style and find fresh ideas for your own space. Whether you're drawn to calm minimalism or vibrant eclecticism, these lifestyle reads will leave you brimming with ideas to carry straight into your home.

At Furnt, we’re proud to design furniture that’s inspired by real living and made to last. Pair it with the right influence, and you’ll love your home that little bit more, every day.
