Bookmarked: My 10 Inspiring Design Sites

For someone working in home designing, I constantly need a dose of inspirations.  I am always excited to check out what's new online, turning to my ever dependable and inspiring online design sites.  From  design blogs to magazines, I share here with you my 10 Most Inspiring Design sites (in random order):

Decor8.  Holly Becker's blog is eye candy for any girl who's into interior design, travel and looking for that daily dose of something nice and pretty.  I love this blog for its interior design sources (mostly from Europe), creativity and wonderful styling and ideas.

Design Sponge.  Another great blog on home design and styling, innovative products and tips on modern living.  But more than this, what I love most about DesignSponge is its many home and DIY projects that look so easy to do (or do they make it look easy?)!

Apartment Therapy "Saving the world, one room at a time" seems like a big dream but it sure looks easy for AT as it shows that a beautiful home can be had, whatever the size of your home space is.  This site is a great source of everything about real, modern day living.

Sfgirlbybay.  Victoria Smith's award-winning blog is all about eclectic, bohemian modern style. This blog makes me have a better appreciation of flea market finds, the charm and character of anything vintage, old and used.  Mix, match and integrate these finds in your home to give your space added punch and personality.

Pinterest.  This online pinning community is a vast resource of everyday inspirations from its ever growing members.  As I'm into home and interior design, I often check the "home decor" category.  I've made my own pinning and inspiration boards - with Small, Cool Home being the most popular - at http://pinterest.com/klobregat/.  Come on and start pinning!

Style at Home.  This online version of Canada's Style at Home is a great read for any home decorating enthusiast.  What I check most often is their "Small Spaces" section, where they feature real home projects by Canadian designers.

Elle Decor. It's the ultimate guide to decorating and design.  Need I say more?  My favorite section - Celebrity Style!

HGTV.  I love watching Design Star and David Bromstad create that one-of-a-kind piece for home owners and make amazing home makeovers in Color Splash.  Thus, I follow HGTV online as well.  You'll find lots and lots of information here.
