An interior design magazine is a publication that focuses primarily on interior design in a hard copy periodical format or on the Internet. Interior design magazines document the interior of homes, furniture, home accessories, textiles and architecture usually in a highly stylized or staged format. They may also feature cafes, historic houses, eco-friendly living and cutting-edge design. Each issue or publication often acts as a “how to” guide for interior decorating and styling, as well as providing readers up to date design news and the latest trends. Contemporary houses in the magazines today are often highly styled photographs, which are done by interior stylists or decorators. They often do not feature people and just focus on the furniture or interior. Some magazines, such as ''Apartamento'', feature homes that are not staged, but rather highlight elements of the house just as the inhabitant has left them. ==18th-century origins== The 18th century was the first period in which English domestic interiors were represented in both text and image. 〔Greig, H. ‘Eighteenth-Century English Interiors in Image and Text’ Imagined Interiors: Representing the Domestic Interior Since the Renaissance. 2006 p. 102 〕 The format and writing of interior design magazines were mainly modeled on architecture and art journals, which began publication from the 1890s. These magazines began to lay the origins of domesticity, homemaking and decorating, which would later continue to grow into separate titles. It was Alexander Koch who was responsible for Germany’s first serial publications specifically on interior design. Koch’s ''Innendekoration'' started publication in January 1890, while his ''Deutsche Kunst und Dekoration'' (1897-1932) also focused primarily on interiors.〔 Aynsley, J, 2005. ‘Graphic Change – Design Change: Magazines for the Domestic Interior, 1890-1930’ ''Journal of Design History''. Vol. 18 No. 1 〕 They were joined by others such as ''Das Interieur'' (1900–1915) in Vienna, and ''House Beautiful'' (1896–1930) in Chicago. ''House Beautiful'' was a consumer driven magazine that aimed to fulfill the aspirations of the reader, rather than presenting an actually achievable or affordable home. These magazines circulated internationally and their impact can be measured by the second generation of magazines, often similar in format, that were formed in their mould in the years to follow. 〔Aynsley, J. ‘Displaying Designs for the Domestic Interior in Europe and America 1850-1950’. Imagined Interiors: Representing the Domestic Interior Since the Renaissance. 2006 p. 190〕 Graphic layouts became an important feature for interior design magazines, as many began following each other or beginning their own trend. It began allowing more space, focusing on the arrangement and layout of text, image and font. The titling of the drawings, in stylized capitals, was carried out in a specific style associated with the Rudolf von Larisch school of lettering. Often the interior schemes were represented from above and from a diagonal axis, emphasizing the angularity of the composition with a rapidly receding vanishing point. 〔 Illustrations ranged from full colour paintings to carefully reproduced lithography prints of interiors and drawings, usually in colour. From the 1920s onwards, design publishing was driven by avant-garde design ideals and commercial publishing practices. The introduction of the digital camera in late 20th century allowed photographers to capture the interiors of celebrities as well as everyday people. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「interior design magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
