History and profile.
The magazine was launched in 1974 as "Apartment Life". It focused primarily on urban lifestyles. In 1981, the publisher rebranded it as "Metropolitan Home".
"Metropolitan Home" was part of the Meredith Corporation until 1992 when it was acquired by Hachette Publications. The first issue under Hachette appeared in January 1993. The publisher reduced it from monthly to bi-monthly publication. 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.
In 2016, new owner Hearst began publishing "Metropolitan Home".
