"As a leading authority on home design and decoration, House Beautiful illustrates and illuminates a story of style as well as wise solutions. House Beautiful's warm editorial voice helps readers achieve the highest standard of a personal sense of place for rooms that feel right, not just stylish: living rooms, not show rooms: a dinner party, not only New Year's Eve. Inspired by the past, living in the present, looking to the future, House Beautiful accompanies its readers on their quest to create the house of their dreams.

For more than 100 years, House Beautiful has been a window on the ever changing world of architecture. With eyes wide open to the evolution of styles, House Beautiful has been there to report, analyze, and support the best of domestic design.

"To help you to the house of your hopes and your ideals, to aid you in every step, and in every detail : to offer you the widest latitude your purse can buy, yet to narrow your choice to what is essentially the best : that is the purpose for which The House Beautiful exists."
The House Beautiful, September 1896

Over 100 years later, House Beautiful's original mission statement holds true."
