I have had a lot of success finding blogs about interior design. Holly Becker, a writer and interior design consultant, writes Decor8: Fresh Finds for Hip Spaces. She created Decor8 to “catalog beautiful finds and to inspire others.” What distinguishes this blog from others is that it asks questions to its’ readers. It encourages readers to comment on the various posts making the blog a more interactive sight. For example, one post from January 28th asks…“What do you love about this look? What don’t you like? Could you live like this? Do you live like this currently?”

In less than 12 hours, there has already been 35 comments.
Another blog, Remodelista is an “online design forum” for a group of friends who share similar design sensibilities. As stated on their site, this particular blog is for...
“interiors aficionados who share the same design DNA: a genetically encoded aesthetic. You know who you are: You’re not the type to hire an interior designer: you’re not about to outsource your decor, and you don’t want a sterile, magazine-perfect environment”.
What differentiates this blog from the others is that it solely revolves around interior design. Blogs such as Absolutely Beautiful Things, by Anna Spiro, and Coco + Kelly by Cassandra, take a more personal approach, not only sharing their interior design tastes, but also their opinion on such topics such as art, books, cooking and photography.
Apartment Therapy is another blog I came across. From its many advertisements speckled across the pages, it is clear that it is a more established blog than some others I had been reading. This blog also has a different set up, where each new post is just a small sample and in order to read it, you are redirected to a different page. What I like this sight is that they supply related links for each of their posts.
