Yesterday, the brand new home and fashion magazine, Couch Magazine, launched in Germany. The pocket-sized lifestyle mag is the latest gem from one of Germany's biggest publishers, Gruner+Jahr. The glossy magazine focuses on homes and interior decoration combined with fashion and beauty topics that address its core target group, young women. Although I am not part of their core target group, I still enjoyed the first issue. Here are some peeks into it, for more you have to buy a copy!
What did I like most? First, I absolutely adored to find some of my favorite international bloggers like Joy of Oh Joy, Grace of Design Sponge, Emma of Emmas Blogg and Ez of Creature Comforts featured on a page dedicated to apps and blogs. Then, I loved the small apartments presented with shopping tips to "steal the style". A little designer retrospective gave good background knowledge while a colour consulting helps readers steer through the oceans of wall colours and painting.
So, after going through the little magazine from cover to cover, what is my humble verdict? I like it. And I'll buy it again. I'd love to see more homes, more blogger news and - well, I am free to state any wish here - I'd love to see a little section or a page dedicated to male readers. After all, some of us do love interior design and home decoration just as dearly as our more beautiful counterparts. Don't we Will, Jon, Bradford, Dab, Jason, Gerard, Stu...?
