Our roots go way back to 1920 when our platform was first published. The then editor wrote in the very first edition, "The policy of The our platform is to cater to the wide circle of the middle class. Every matter of interest, from the designing of the house and garden to its finishing touches, will be explained and illustrated by experts." Our mission remains the same today, delivering homes advice and inspiration at the highest standard.
