Top 10 Interior Design Blogs
We’ve done property blogs and property forums, so we thought it was about time we pointed you in the direction of some interiors eye-candy.
Warning: if, like me, your idea of domestic decoration involves a withered spider plant, books covering every available surface and empty whiskey bottles on the mantelpiece, all of this might leave you feeling like a knuckle-trailing Neanderthal …
1. Excellent design site dedicated to “saving the world, one room at a time.” The UN? Pah! Who needs it when we have lovely cushions?
2. Interested in works that “defy particular typologies, diverge from conventions and are more than merely consumable objects.” Weird stuff basically. Like bomb proof wallpaper. And they love a good list.
3. A blog dedicated to art, architecture, & design. The editor “longs for the day when she can have an alpaca named Blanche.” Enough said.
4. Very cool user generated site, though they win our arsiness award for describing themselves as “a user-submitted visual curation site featuring residential architecture and design, craftsmanship, materials and products.”
5. Engaging, if slightly self-obsessed, blog by Dublin-based interior design journalist Zita Spring. When, I wonder, did Irish people start calling themselves Zee and saying things like “my style ethos is pretty much the opposite of Coco Chanel”?!
6. Another good-looking and smartly written design blog from a Dublin-based journo … wtf is going on over there in the ould country? I blame the EU.
7. Lots of lovely pics and great pets on furniture feature atthis blog by “a Canadian and an Australian trying to inspire the World one room at a time.” Hang on, hasn’t Apartment Therapy bagged the role of global saviour? Fight!
8. Good-looking blog by editor and designer Holly Becker, who at the moment is musing on the pleasure of colour co-ordinating her Xmas decorations with the presents under the tree. As you do.
9. Funky Dutch-based design blog showcasing lots of unusual products and spaces from around the world – leans towards the retro, salvaged, organic and distressed-looking. I always knew my fading whiskey bottles were really a design statement.
10. Smart professional offering from the terrifyingly overachieving Grace Bonney and a team of bloggers who look like they’ve escaped from an indie movie. Aptly described by the NY Times as “Martha Stewart Living for the Millennials”, its style guide seems to be inspired by e.e cummings.
Have I missed any (aside from the excellent myDeco blog, which we already link to?). Send us your suggestions.
