Interior design is a fine art. While most of us will have to decorate a living space at some point, knowing how to do it well is another matter.
That is why interior designers are in high demand. People pay huge amounts of money for professional designers to come and decorate their homes! However, most people don’t have the budget to afford this, and have to carry out their own interior design projects.
Knowing where you should start when decorating a room is often difficult. Thankfully, there is a wealth of information and inspiration out there on the web. Many interior design experts have their own blogs, where they showcase their projects, as well as useful, practical tips, product recommendations, and DIY hacks.
With so many interior design blogs to choose from, it can be very difficult to find the most useful information. While there are hundreds of brilliant interior design blogs out there, many blogs are run by amateurs and offer irrelevant or even harmful advice.
That is why we have sorted through countless blogs to separate the inspirational from the best avoided. Here are 12 of our picks of the best interior design blogs of 2024 you should check out for inspiration for your next design project.
