Since our maiden issue in October 1980, Home Journal has been the leading design and lifestyle magazine in Hong Kong. With over 35 years in the market, our bilingual (English and Chinese) monthly publication has long served as a trusted resource for both designers and homeowners. Whether your style is refined or relaxed, Home Journal’s editors are hard at work to provide a dossier on the latest in design and lifestyle, from interiors inspiration to travel ideas.
Apart from the monthly magazine, we also publish two annual titles – Home Solutions and Home Journal Buyer’s Guide. The former is a decoration and renovation bible released every summer, while the latter is a comprehensive directory of the best sources for the home published at the end of each year.
