Nest is a conceptual lifestyle magazine designed for the intentional homebody. It reimagines domesticity as something stylish, expressive, and entirely worthy of glossy editorial treatment. Equal parts cozy and curated, Nest explores the rituals, objects, and aesthetics that make a house feel like a home.

Each spread was crafted to feel like its own visual vignette—balancing clean layout systems with whimsical flourishes and lush imagery. The magazine uses a muted yet modern color palette, expressive headlines, and thoughtful art direction to reflect the intimate but aspirational tone of its content.

The concept behind Nest stems from the idea that home is not just a backdrop—it’s a living, evolving part of identity and creativity. Every spread was developed to feel warm, intentional, and layered—just like the spaces we love to live in.
