The glitz and glamour of the festive season may be a distant memory now, but don’t let the January blues take over. The beginning of the year is the perfect time to get organised, clear out last year’s junk, and get a whole new look in your home. But remember: there’s no need to break the bank in in the search of a home makeover – there are plenty of sites out there that can inspire your creativity, and give you some hints along the way to creating your own home haven. Here are our top 5 sites to visit if you’re looking for decorating, design and style inspiration:
Design Sponge: http://www.designsponge.com/
A gorgeous site stuffed with design ideas, DIY crafting projects, product reviews and advice. We’re particularly fond of their Sneak Peeks: a look inside some uber-stylish interiors all over the world.
Ish and Chi: http://www.ishandchi.com/
Personal blog meets style pulse. Fashion, design, interiors and photo-blog: a how-to in effortless style from Vivian Mansour. There is so much on this site to love, we got lost in it for hours when we first stumbled across it.
Decor8: http://decor8blog.com/
Since 2006, decor8 has been dishing out perfect pieces of fresh, clean, home style inspiration. The site’s stuffed with ideas for things you can do yourself – no budget-breaking designer required. We also love the tours of homeware stores from various cities around the world.
Desire To Inspire: http://www.desiretoinspire.net/
Does exactly what it says! Flooded with tantalising photography of a huge range of interiors; guaranteed to arouse your creative senses. Creators Kim and Jo have never met in person – a meeting on Flickr over a love of interiors resulted in this incredible site. We love it!
Oh Happy Day: http://ohhappyday.com/
Happy is exactly how we felt when we found this gem of a site, with plenty of inspiration including easy DIY projects, as well as entertaining ideas and free downloads to help you get your inner decorator out!
