The Dutch lifestyle media landscape in 2026

Lifestyle is one of the broadest niches in the Dutch media landscape. LINDA., Libelle, Margriet and Flair together reach millions of readers with a mix of personal stories, interiors, travel and wellness, while &C and NSMBL serve a younger, online audience. The weekend supplements of de Volkskrant, AD and De Telegraaf bring lifestyle to the broad newspaper audience.

Beneath that sits a strong specialist layer: vtwonen, Eigen Huis & Interieur and ELLE Decoration dominate home and interiors, Columbus Travel and the travel desks cover travel, and titles such as Women's Health, Men's Health and Bedrock focus on wellness, fitness and mental health. Sustainable living has become a fixture across almost all of these titles.

Which topics Dutch lifestyle journalists pick up

The most covered themes in 2026 are wellness and mental health, sustainable and affordable living, travel closer to home, slow living and digital balance, and the crossover between lifestyle and personal finance. Product news only gets picked up when it fits a trend or seasonal story: a handy summer list, a gift guide, an interior trend. Press releases without strong imagery or clear reader relevance rarely make the desk.

How to approach lifestyle journalists in the Netherlands effectively

Three rules work consistently.

Think in seasons

Lifestyle desks work with a seasonal calendar: summer, the holidays, new year's resolutions. Pitch your story when the desk is working on it, not when it goes live.

Strong imagery

Interiors, travel and wellness are visual. Include high-resolution images and atmosphere photography; no pitch without usable visuals.

Make it personal

Lifestyle runs on relatable stories. A real user, maker or experience works better than a product list with prices.

Well-known lifestyle journalists work at LINDA., Libelle, Margriet, vtwonen, &C and the weekend supplements of the major newspapers. Presscloud tracks 220+ active lifestyle journalists in total. A complete list of names and contact details is available for accounts.

The most effective approach combines three elements: a personal opener that references the journalist's recent work, a story that fits a trend or season, and strong imagery. Pitch by email with usable high-resolution visuals, not via LinkedIn or phone, unless you already have an existing relationship.

Home and interiors are dominated by vtwonen, Eigen Huis & Interieur and ELLE Decoration, complemented by the housing sections of the newspapers and online platforms. For products: desks work with shopping lists and trend stories, so pitch a single product within such a frame.

Travel journalists work with long lead times and often write from first-hand experience. Offering a press trip or individual experience is possible, but desks disclose sponsored travel transparently and keep their independent judgement. Pitch destinations around a concrete story or trend, not as a bare offer.

For glossy monthlies you work two to four months ahead, especially for seasonal stories such as the holidays or summer. For online media, a few days to a week is common. Gift guides and holiday specials are often compiled as early as the summer.

Glossy titles such as LINDA. and Libelle work with long lead times and select strictly on imagery and story, but offer great reach and authority. Online titles such as &C and NSMBL move fast and are more receptive to current trends and lists. A good lifestyle campaign serves both layers, each with its own angle.
