There are so many resources for design, and while I do love a great home tour for inspiration, my favorite blogs are the ones that actually give solid tips and help you figure out what size rug you need or what kind of side table would work next to your sofa. On that note, I have rounded up my favorite design blogs that check all of those boxes. If you have a favorite that I missed, let me know in the comments.
1. Style by Emily Henderson: There is truly no better blog for showcasing HOW to do everything from measuring your curtains to finding the perfect budget sofa to figuring out what size rug you need. I love that Emily shares her thought process and takes you along for the journey, unafraid of spilling all her best secrets.
2. My Design Chic: A fellow North Carolina girl, Kristy Woodson Harvey and her mom Beth Woodson created their award-winning blog, My Design Chic, to showcase luxury design and were one of the first great design blogs to gain a fast audience. I’m obsessed with all her incredible home tour features!
3. Lauren Leiss: While of course Lauren’s interiors are incredible, it’s her very personal voice on her blog that drew me in. I love that despite her success, it still really feels like she is the one writing a note just to me. She also just got chickens—a city girl’s secret fantasy!
4. Tao of Dana: My friend Dana is a feng shui master, and before you think that sounds like a bunch of hooey fooey, she’s way more into practical ways to fix your space to foster creativity and build your dream life. She loves color, plants, art, and helps you declutter to make room for more of what you really want.
5. Becki Owens: Every single image she posts is my dream home. Her blog gives so many great shopping roundups and inspiration from her projects that are always classic, but on trend.
