ReadyMade was an innovative bimonthly lifestyle magazine catering to the Do-it-yourself (DIY) culture. Based in the United States, the magazine sought to inspire readers with creative and sustainable home projects.

Content

Focusing primarily on home improvement projects, interior design, arts, and crafts, ReadyMade was a treasure trove for individuals interested in personalizing their living spaces. It highlighted ingenious ideas for transforming everyday items into functional and aesthetic elements of home decor. Each edition brought awe-inspiring, imaginative, and environmentally-friendly DIY projects, step-by-step guides, artist profiles, and lifestyle articles.

In addition to the home-oriented DIY content, the magazine encompassed a variety of features such as book reviews, opinion pieces, recipes, gardening advice, and travel tips. The unique blend of lifestyle and DIY articles made the magazine a favorite among individuals craving creative inspiration.

Publication History

ReadyMade was founded in 2001 by graduates of the University of California at Berkeley, Grace Hawthorne and Shoshana Berger, who saw a gap in the market for contemporary DIY enthusiasts. The magazine catered to young homeowners by blending pop culture, design, and DIY project ideas in an offbeat, aesthetically pleasing format.

In 2006, ReadyMade was acquired by Meredith Corporation, a leading media and marketing company catering to American women. Despite its popularity and a circulation of approximately 325,000, the magazine ceased publication in 2011 due to financial struggles within the parent company.{{Categories}}
