Home decor mag editorial choices

I am a bit of a home decor magazine fiend.

I love most of them and those from different countries.

Elle Decor especially the U.S. edition is one of my favourites.  

Cover of Elle Decor March 2013
(I buy online now as fewer London newsagents stock the US Elle Decor.)
 
It is one of my monthly staple magazines that I buy without needing to flip through or judging the cover.  

It covers houses from all over the world which is personally important.  Houses in the tropics are beautiful but there is no real inspiration or incorporation I can use in my central London abode. 

Actually, this makes it look like all Londoners 
have a garden so scratch this.

 Split house conversions - much more typical London.

Elle Decor always delivers polish, impeccable taste, and great design principles.

A great example of the understated, balanced, and  clean designs with a perfect dosage of color that Elle Decor features so well.

A simply edited and elegantly decorated living room that is achievable in most homes and yet most probably aren't - 

the home decor version of the "girl next door".

Just because you are a decorator in Architectural Digest...

David Collins is quite an established name in the decorating world.

He has the usual coterie of billionaires and 
five star hotels that form his clientele.  

He has decorated some of my favourite London spots.

The Connaught Hotel Bar is relaxing whilst being elegant. 

Great place for a drink.

The Wolseley, London's best all day eatery.  

Consistently good food and great atmosphere.

Blue Bar at the Berkeley Hotel - one of the original bars in London that one could go to for a drink without having to go to the pub.
