Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Informative and fun Comment: I work in a design studio, and love looking at the magazine for ideas. The articles are interesting. We use them as inspirations for clients. Some of the products are a little pricy and not our style...but definately something we can work from for clients. Everything looks so clean and almost unlivable....too staged. But still I love the colors and design tips. Customer Rating: Summary: Worst Design Magazine Comment: I had ordered a 2-year subscription to House & Garden. About 10 months in, the publisher replaced H&G with Domino. I tried Domino for 6 months before I called to ask for a refund. This magazine is terrible. Each month showcases multiple rooms, homes, before and after makeovers, etc., all from the homes of various Domino editors. They don't even put forth the energy to give you ideas from outside their own staff. How lazy are they? Customer Rating: Summary: High-End Decorating But Mostly Ads Comment: I started receiving Domino magazine about a year ago and can say that it has not held anything appealing for me.
It is high-end, artsy, modern decorating and has not given me one idea that I would actually use in my home.
More troublesome for me is the amount of advertising in the magazine. It is literally half advertisements. On my latest issue, I had to reach page 11 before the first page that was not advertisement or the table of contents. It is that way throughout the magazine.
The articles themselves are sparse. One page will be entirely devoted to answering one reader question. But most of the articles are just items listed with where to buy them. They consider that an article.
As far as magazines are concerned, there are much better ones out there.
If you are not seeking high-end, modern decorating then I would recommend the tried and true, Better Homes and Gardens (1-year). If you like a southern appeal, I highly recommend Southern Living (1-year), a wonderful magazine filled with travel, food and decorating from the south. If you are more of a traditionalist, try Traditional Home (1-year). Customer Rating: Summary: ....."Before & Before" makeovers??....HORRBILE Comment: I hate this Magazine, I ordered it from Amazon because I had the option to pay $7.95 for shipping or spend $3 extra and get FREE shipping....I chose a Magazine-- "DOMINO" ...I never heard of DOMINO but I joke with my friends that it's like looking at "BEFORE & BEFORE" Photos...instead of "Before and After"... Their Makeovers, or the "look" they are going for is NOT for me. I feel like they are decorating out of somebody's attic or a Flea Market...or just don't have enough money to put a complete "look" together. I don't mind finding bargains or mixing and matching styles but I feel this magazine has NO style... I want to be inspired when I see something in a home magazine...something to strive for in the future or to be able to implement in my current decor. This magazine makes me want to transfer my subscription to someone else---that's if anyone else could stomach it. I have tried giving it away to my friends and nobody wants it...I will be surprised if this Magazine lasts long. Customer Rating: Summary: don't renew through amazon Comment: I renewed my subscription through amazon and I got two issues at once, Sept and Oct. Problem? I already had those 2 issues, making my 10 issue subscription only 8 new issues. This magazine is not good enough for a "year" subscription to be only 8 issues. It turned out to be 8 for the price of 10, not a good deal.
