I agree that Veranda has too many advertisements, but that's the trade-off for this very affordable, high quality publication. I'm not sure I'm the intended target for this magazine because I can't afford most of the things in the ads, but I've gotten lots of ideas about color, layout and accessorizing that I can use, and the variety of architectural and design styles has helped me define my own style.
 A great source for design May 21, 2007

The design here is perfect for the kind of home owner that wants a home in neighborhood with its own country club. Y'know, very comfortable and traditional. As an artist in the design industry, Veranda is a wonderful guide for what's popular and innovative in that market.
Nice Mag, Irritating policy October 10, 2007

I really like the quality of this magazine, or I wouldn't have subscribed.
It is irritating, however, when the first two issues you receive arrive on the same day, and both are ones you've already purchased at the newstand. I mean really. Why would you send out the previous month's issue?

Veranda magazine contains stunning photography of homes and gardens. If you enjoy browsing through pictures for decorating ideas, this is a great magazine to dream on. However, great photography is about the only thing this magazine has to offer. Veranda is probably 75% advertisements (gorgeous advertisements, but ads nonetheless), and the few articles it contains are usually shallow and provide dull reading. For those of use who aren't millionaires, most of the products the magazine advertises are impractical luxuries.

I got this magazine from unused airline miles and definitely regret getting it. 75% of the pages are for ads (fancy Iranian carpets, dinner sets, antique furniture blah blah). The design articles and photos seem to be for (a) the newly rich lottery winner or (b) middle class folk who may spend all their time fantasising about a wealthy lifestyle.
Avoid this magazine and you will be saving some trees.
