We believe in the transformative power of good design.

For each issue, Grand Designs Australia TV show host and magazine editor-at-large, Peter Maddison, scours the countryside to bring you the most stunning designer homes, many of which have not yet been seen on TV, and tell the roller-coaster story of how design facilitates lifestyle. Our homes cover a diversity of styles and budgets; some new builds, some conversions and some renovations.  Each issue is also a sourcebook of quality design, complete with floor plans, lookbook guides, designers, contacts and signature products to inspire a redesign of your own home.

This publication is unique as it targets upmarket consumers who are looking to build a quality home project. There is no market with greater spending power on residential home projects in Australia.

Grand Designs Australia magazine is available through traditional retailers, plus on a controlled circulation basis to interior designers, architects and specifiers of residential projects.

Part of the Home Group, Grand Designs Australia magazine sits alongside Home Design, Kitchens & Bathrooms Quarterly, CompleteHome.com.au, magazine digital editions, plus numerous inbox and social media assets. The Grand Designs Media Group consists of Grand Designs Australia magazine, Grand Designs Kitchens & Bathrooms Annual, Grand Designs Build A Home Annual, Grand Designs Sourcebook and a range of high-quality Bookazines.

Client Testimonial

“Woodworkers advertise in every issue of both Grand Design Australia and Home Design magazine. Brand awareness is very important to our company and we find that both these magazines service our target demographic perfectly. We receive many calls, Australia wide, from a variety of potential clients stating that they’ve seen our ad in the magazine and progress to become valuable customers. Based on our experience, we would have to say that having a regular advertising program with Universal has proven to be an astute business decision.” 

-Robin Ziejka, The Woodworkers Company

Reader Testimonial

“For Christmas l was given a subscription to the Grand Designs Magazine.  Delighted, l couldn’t wait for the first magazine to arrive. It has since given me hours of browsing pleasure and helped confirm features and aspects of our new home.  Knowing that a new magazine will arrive any day is a treat of expectation of new ideas….”
