The Ideal Home & Garden - India Edition. We are house proud. And home loving.And that's what we are hoping The Ideal Home and Garden will reflect. The happiness, the contentment and the peace we talk about in the magazine are all part of the emotion we feel for our home. With work occupying centre stage in most of our lives, home has become that much more rare, and so, more precious. It has come to stand for everything that work isn't. Familiarity, comfort, privacy, luxury, relaxation, recreation, personal space. Having said that, we'd also like to emphasis that The Ideal Home and Garden isn't only about interiors – to label it that would be unfair. It would, sadly, narrow its scope. In essence, we are all about good, comfortable, wholesome living – the magazine covers all the pieces of living that go in to make the picture complete. It is all about the home (inside and out of it) and the life you lead around it. Homes around the country (city apartments, country homes, holiday cottages, quaint bungalows in not-so-busy bylanes), gardens (from balcony trimmings and indoor plants to well-manicured lawns and terrace conservatories), market information, great gadgets, handy appliances, good things to do this season, value-for-money shopping (at home and abroad), gastronomic indulgence, house fashion, do-it-yourself delights, easy makeover suggestions and lots of tips, trends, ideas and advice are all a part of this pleasure parcel. We intend to reflect a lot of the market trends along with creating and setting a few good ones of our own - to inspire and excite our readers as well as the market that caters to them. Through the magazine, we provide our readers access to a voracious marketplace, the ultimate consumer's dream. Finally to put it all in a nutshell, the endeavour is to capture a way of life that everybody aspires to. One where everything is beautiful. And at the end of the day, we'd like to believe that we're creating great lifestyles.

The app is spectacular. ### 5/5 — Portability *2015-07-06* It is very good that the magazine can be read on any number of devices through restoring the purchases. ### 5/5 — Suits the purpose *2015-07-02* This magazine app is what I preferred to be like and I'm satisfied with the reader. Great !! ### 5/5 — Standard and smooth *2015-06-30* Being an architect, I have been reading on this app for a very long time. The app design very well meets the current standards and the interface is very good. ### 1/5 — Ideal Home and Garden *2015-02-28* Don't get sucked in by this app. It only applies to you if you you plan to move to India. It has no relevance to UK and when you realise you thought you were getting a UK version, there is no chance of a refund. ### 1/5 — INDIAN???? *2014-03-26* I bought this assuming it was a UK magazine...but boy was I wrong! It's an Indian edition and so completely useless. All the stores listed and in I did and the style is very different to anything I am used to in Europe. A total waste of money. They should make it clearer that this is Indian...the US editions say so in the title. I would very much like a refund! ### 1/5 — WARNING! INDIAN EDITIONS! *2013-10-26* Yep! Like everyone else who've left reviews, I also fell victim to this magazine subscription! A whole years worth of 'useless' magazine issues! If you're in India, fine - If in UK - buyer beware! Useless to UK market - decor taste also too far removed from UK or 'Euro' taste to even make this an interesting browse. Doubly annoyed that I have to give even a one star rating, in order to warn others. Overwhelming Con! In my book, this is nothing less than Fraud, they must be laughing all the to the bank! :-( ### 1/5 — Con! Don't buy! *2012-11-09* This looks like UK version but its NOT! It's the India version! Saw it after subscribed. I was told that I could turn off the auto-renewal in the app settings but I did NOT find any! This is how they con people and rip you off! Don't buy! Apple store should really take this app off the shelf!!! ### 1/5 — Oh *2012-05-21* Didn,t read the small print !!!
