That’s why we have sifted through the internet to bring you our top five recommended interior design blogs to ensure you get only the best tips, tricks and trends.

Dwell
We love this interior design blog for its realistic approach to home décor. Dwell looks at design being part of a home and not a picture perfect decorated and staged magazine page. As the blog so aptly states, ‘perfection is intimidating’ – Dwell showcases interior design of lived-in, comfortable homes and believes that good design is a part of daily life – an element that is excluded from design and décor magazines. You can expect to find ideas of modern designs, materials and methods to help create a realistic yet liveable home.

Houzz
Find interior design inspiration for every area of your home from the Houzz. The blog was founded by Adi and Alon, who found it incredibly difficult to sift through stacks of magazines for ideas when remodelling their home. Enter the Houzz blog – an easy-to-use visual guide that covers every part of interior design, from the bathroom to lighting ideas. Houzz also features a nifty advice column to help you with some of your interior design hiccups. Browse through over eight million pictures of beautiful homes for some interior design inspiration.
Glass is an integral part of any interior design trend and deserves the same attention to detail as any other element of your décor style.
