So You've Heard of Hendricks Living By The

I don't have anything particularly dramatic to say about it. It's a lifestyle brand and content platform that's been around in various forms, mostly connected to the kind of aesthetic that Hendrick's the gin company championed for a long time. Slow living, intentional design, that whole mood. People ask me about it because they want to know if it's worth engaging with, or if there's a way to use it practically. Here's the thing: Hendricks Living By The isn't really a "how-to" system you download or follow step by step. It's more of a curated lifestyle direction. Think of it as an editorial point of view rather than a method. The brand exists to promote a certain kind of life — one that values quality over quantity, craftsmanship, and a slightly slower pace. You'll see it in their magazine content, their product collaborations, and the way they frame everything around home, hospitality, and taste.

If you're looking to actually incorporate this into your life, here's what I'd suggest based on what I've seen work and what I've watched other people mess up. First, stop trying to buy your way into it. The common mistake I see is people ordering every product recommended on the site and wondering why their apartment doesn't feel like a Condé Nast spread. That approach usually costs hundreds of dollars and produces exactly nothing of value. The actual principle behind Hendricks Living By The is simpler than most people make it: pick fewer things and pick better ones. A single well-made chair beats six cheap ones. One good bookshelf in a corner beats filling every wall. Second, the hospitality angle is where this actually becomes useful. Hendrick's has always been about making people feel welcome in your space. If you're entertaining at home, the brand's content will give you actual guidance on table settings, drink pairings, and creating atmosphere without going overboard. I learned this the hard way once when I threw a dinner party and spent three days arranging flowers and candles and buying plates I'd never use again. The room looked fine but felt stiff. Someone pointed out that I was treating it like a showroom instead of a home, and that was the exact mistake the brand's philosophy warns against. After that, I scaled back — one centerpiece, simple linen, decent glasses, good food. Everyone had a better time.

Third, and this is something nobody mentions enough: the brand's aesthetic works best when it's adapted to your actual life, not copied directly. Hendricks Living By The content is shot in beautiful houses with professional lighting. Your reality will be different. The workaround I use is to identify the feeling a particular editorial is going for — warm, collected, unhurried — and then apply it to whatever space I actually have. That means different choices than what you'd see in the photos, but the same result. The downside to all of this is that the brand is very much tied to a specific socioeconomic position. Not everyone can afford to curate a home this way, and the content doesn't always acknowledge that. Some of their product partnerships lean heavily toward premium pricing. If you're on a tighter budget, you can still follow the underlying principles — less stuff, better materials, genuine hospitality — without spending anywhere near what their curated lists suggest. As for where to find them, the main hub is their website and social channels. There isn't a downloadable guide or PDF manual you can grab. The content lives in their articles, social posts, and occasional special editions. If you want to go deeper, subscribing to their newsletter gives you direct access to new pieces before they hit the general feed.

The core of Hendricks Living By The, stripped of the marketing gloss, is just: slow down, choose carefully, and make sure the people around you feel included. Everything else is decoration.
