The title will have a print run of 120,000 and goes on sale for an eight-week period from today (1 April). If successful, further monthly issues will follow. Easy Decorating follows the launch of Easy Gardening and will sit alongside BBC Magazine's Good Homes and Dream Homes. The homes portfolio also includes Homes & Antiques.
Easy Decorating is priced at 1.99 and supported by promotions with retailers and advertising activity across the BBC portfolio.
"The title complements our existing home titles. It's written and designed in a user-friendly way," said Easy Decorating publisher Brian Whittaker.
The deal follows New Jarrold Printing's contract to produce Channel 4 spin-off title A Place in the Sun,which it won last month.
