DesignSTL Magazine Description:

DesignSTL is the unequivocal must-read for people who love their home. The magazine inspires St. Louisans to entertain, cook, decorate and thoroughly enjoy their home environment.

DesignSTL formally known as St. Louis At Home was first introduced in February 2004 as a special quarterly insert in St. Louis Magazine. Earning great response from readers and advertisers, SLM Media Group launched the premier issue of St. Louis At Home in spring 2005. The next year, St. Louis At Home earned top honors from the City & Regional Magazine Association in the category of Ancillary Publication. The publication has continued to evolve since then.
