Crafting your ideal interior space no longer requires multiple trips to the home decor store. Instead, decorating can be a hassle-free process achieved completely online. That doesn’t mean it can’t still be overwhelming, which is why this guide is here to help as you turn to the World Wide Web for interior design inspiration, products, and resources.

Get Inspired

When it comes to designing a room or refreshing your entire home, homing in on the aesthetic, color palette, and style you want to go with is an important step before purchasing anything. But where should you look?

• Pinterest
  It may sound obvious, but it’s worth noting that Pinterest is a vital resource when it comes to interior design. If you search ‘modern interior design,’ you’re met with hundreds of images that can help you curate a board of what modern means to you. Your home page will automatically populate similar images based on what you previously saved, which can come in handy. Saving images can also be helpful when it comes to narrowing down specific brands and eventually purchasing items!

• Apartment Therapy
  No, you don’t need an apartment to enjoy the content this blog provides in spades—although if you do live in a smaller space, it will be easier to find home ideas suited to your lifestyle. Either way, a visit to Apartment Therapy’s website offers everything from what to buy at Bed Bath & Beyond right now to what’s trending in home decor according to Instagram. Peruse its shop section, organized by style and room, or do virtual house tours in cities across the US.
  
  

• Domino
  If you really want to dive into details, Domino takes more of a storytelling approach to its articles. You’ll find home tours from all over the world, interior designer features, and renovation stories that will motivate you to create your own oasis. Plus, Domino’s verticals are separated by room type, which makes it easy to navigate if you’re only looking for dining room inspiration, for example.

• MyDomaine
  Keeping up with interior trends and trying to maintain an image-worthy home at all times can be tough, but MyDomaine makes it easy. Its content is curated by professionals who’ve worked in the design space for years and who often consult with other experts in the field to bring you the best interior advice possible.
