Product Review
Filled with the latest in home design inspiration, Metropolitan Home offers its readers full-color layouts of innovative and classic homes, insightful commentary on architectural trends and interior decoration, and notes on home peripherals in its "TechNotes" and "Collecting" sections. Beautiful home pictorials offer a wide variety of visual examples for the aspiring designer. The magazine tends to focus on multibedroom homes, but it does sometimes branch out to cover smaller city dwellings such as apartments and condominiums, and even, in one 2001 issue, rooftop gardens. --Jonathon Tudor

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Nothing challenging here. Rather than offering interesting architectural and design fare, MH is a decorating magazine full of expensive items (most of the most interesting ones are in advertisements, of which this magazine is at least 50%) that most people cannot afford. The articles are well-written in a good, direct style that doesn't attempt to impress with name-dropping ("Architectural Digest") or insist that design is a political action committee ("Dwell"). My biggest gripe is that the article headings promise much, but the delivery is scanty. Rather than give the reader something to really ponder (say, a design problem or an unexpected renovation snafu and its respective solution), the articles, despite their admirably simple, terse style, ultimately talk down to the reader. I would advise going to the supermarket and paging through MH before subscribing. I would really like to subscribe to a magazine that discusses great home design and features truly innovative approaches in a modern style devoid of the minimalist, warehouse affectation that has become so tired, yet is still the coin of the realm. P.S. MH, please ditch the recipes - I have that subscription already.
