What are suitable academic journals for publishing research on the history of modern architecture and interior design?

My manuscript examines transatlantic influences on mid-century domestic interiors. I need journals that value both architectural and design history, are respected in the field, and have a scope encompassing social history and material culture, not just formalist analysis.

For respected, peer-reviewed venues, consider these tiers. For core architectural history, target the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians (JSAH) and Architectural History. For design-focused history, excellent choices are Design and Culture, Journal of Design History, and the more specialized Interiors: Design, Architecture, Culture. For an interdisciplinary, material culture approach, also consider Winterthur Portfolio or Studies in the Decorative Arts. Your topic on transatlantic mid-century interiors would be a strong fit for Design and Culture or a themed issue of Interiors. Always review recent issues to confirm scope and match your methodological approach to the journal's style.
