'''''The Home''''' was a high-quality Australian magazine published in Sydney, New South Wales, between 1920 and 1942. Starting as a quarterly publication, the magazine became bimonthly from July/August 1924 until 1926. It was then published monthly until it ceased publication in September 1942.

== History == Described as "the only Australian publication in the same league as its international counterparts ''Vogue'', ''Harper's Bazaar'', and ''Vanity Fair''",<ref name="Holden">{{cite book|title=Sydney Moderns - Art for a New World|year=2013|publisher=Art Gallery of New South Wales|location=Sydney|isbn=9781741740905|pages=104|author=Robert Holden|authorlink=Sydney Ure Smith and the artists of ''The Home''|editor=Deborah Edwards and Denise Mimmocchi}}</ref> ''The Home'' showcased the work of artists such as Thea Proctor, Margaret Preston, Hera Roberts, and Adrian Feint, whose work appeared on many of the covers. Artists such as Proctor, Feint, Roberts and photographer Harold Cazneaux "received the benefits of constant exposure and publicity"<ref name="McDonald">{{cite web|last=McDonald|first=John|title=Sydney Moderns |url=http://johnmcdonald.net.au/2013/sydney-moderns/|publisher=The Sydney Morning Herald|date = 20 July 2013|accessdate=17 August 2013}}</ref> while the magazine exposed its readers to modern ideas about art and design in home furnishing and fashion. It contained interviews and book reviews as well. It also helped change the image of women as well as of advertising.

Originally published by Sydney Ure Smith under the imprint ''Art in Australia Ltd'', the magazine was taken over by John Fairfax & Sons Ltd, publishers of ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', in 1934, and Ure Smith severed his connection with the magazine in 1938.<ref name="Van de Ven">{{cite web|last=Van de Ven|first=Anne-Marie|title= 'The Home' magazines |url=http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=320176 |publisher=Powerhouse Museum|accessdate=30 July 2013}}</ref>
