What is your favorite decorating catalog... (color, designs, texture, contemporary)

[gentlearts]

...and why do you like it?

Mine is Ballard Designs. I just got a new one, and I love almost everything in it. I think their things are a good balance between quality and prices.

I have several that I really love (and subscribe to as well):

1. Southern Living - yes, it has more than decorating, but it's got TONS of decorating, interior design, architectural, and DIY info in each edition, as well as gardening/lawncare tips that are streamlined to my area.

2. House Beautiful - it's much more eclectic and contemporary than Southern Living and it gives me a good balance between the very traditional SL style and this style. I especially love it's focus on color, texture, mixing different styles, etc.

3. English Home - VERY traditional with a European spin on things. Since my personal style is more Old World/Art Nouveau than any other style, I love delving into the English style of decor - and the historic homes are fabulous.

I get emails from One Kings Lane and I enjoy perusing through their offerings every day too.

Sadly, I don't have one.
Well, the Stickley catalog, but that is mainly large items.
Anyone know of a great catalog that caters to the Art & Crafts crowd, especially with accessories?

Those are catalogs? I thought they were magazines....

Ballard is a good one. I feel the same way---I like most of the things in there and the prices aren't too bad.

[K'ledgeBldr]

Ballard's
Frontgate
Grandin Road

All good but pricey- especially if you saw the quality (Ballard's). I happen to have all three outlets just a few miles from me.

Wisteria
Ikea


And my favorite to mock-
"Needless Markup"

[Sunbather]

if we're talking catalogs:

my favorite is Room & Board.

For other major catalogs, we also browse Crate & Barrel, Blu Dot, West Elm, Ikea, among others.

Room and Board
IKEA

[Retire in MB]

Restoration Hardware - Online Source books -can't afford the items but tons of inspiration

Home Decorators is pretty good for some things, like rugs.
