History and profile

The magazine was launched in 1969 as Apartment Life. [1] It focused primarily on urban lifestyles. The final issue of Apartment Life was February 1981. In April 1981, the publisher rebranded it as Metropolitan Home. [2]

Metropolitan Home was part of the Meredith Corporation until 1992 when it was acquired by Hachette Publications. [3] The first issue under Hachette appeared in January 1993. The publisher reduced it from monthly to bi-monthly publication. [3] Its annual Design 100 issue was their largest selling single issue.

In 2009, Hachette decided to concentrate on its top interior design magazine, Elle Decor , and shut down Metropolitan Home. The December 2009 issue of Metropolitan Home was the last issue published until 2016. [4] [2] [5]

In 2016, new owner Hearst began publishing Metropolitan Home. [6]
