Interior design bloggers and renovating services have a very noble goal. They inspire, hold our hand through big changes, and even keep us within budget.
They’re life’s good guys.
With that in mind – here are the sites, accounts and blogs you have to follow if you’re after some perfectly Instagrammable home decor inspiration.
1. Fabric of my life
Manchester-based Kate takes a holistic approach to interiors. She writes about choosing a kitchen island, as well as how to factor your wellbeing into a home redesign.
She’s had a guided tour of every Instagrammable spot in Manchester. Her aversion to capital letters might be off-putting for some and liberating for others.

2. 2 lovely gays
Browse the catalogue of professional interior designers Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead, and you’ll see well-balanced colours, playful wall art, and the most Pinterest-able metallics.

3. Love Chic Living
Jen Stanbrook has won rafts of awards for her unintimidating design blog. Broken down room by room, and accessory by accessory, Jen’s posts are all about detail.
As a bonus, she also offers Pinterest coaching and consultancy. And quite rightly – her blog has attracted over 1 million hits to date.

4. The Modern House
Not quite an interior design blog, more like the most upmarket estate agency you’ve ever seen. The Modern House lists some of the most beautifully designed houses in the South of England.
The team proudly “only sell houses that (they) love.” On the website are digital galleries of country retreats, London townhouses, and open-plan loft apartments.
Click immediately if you’re staring hopelessly at paint charts and need help getting started.
5. Pentreath & Hall
Attached to a ‘goods and furnishings’ retailer, the Pentreath & Hall blog is “a destination for those seeking beautiful, unusual, and decorative things for their home”.
Ben Pentreath fills it with travelogues, architectural details, and thoroughly English gardens.

6. Melanie Lissack Interiors
Professional designer Melanie breaks her blog up into small details, major ‘before and afters’, exteriors, and seasonal features. She’s incredibly inventive when it comes to taking on small, impactful DIY projects too.
One of her most recent revelations is turning a pretty standard IKEA Billy bookcase into something unrecognisable for under £300.

7. Mad about the house
Journalist Kate Watson-Smyth takes us on a tour of some of the most enviable living spaces in the UK. Her own house was featured on Houzz in 2015.
One of the most striking rooms is her wall-to-wall library and reading room. The magenta fireplace deserves a shoutout too.
Click immediately if you’re ready for a bold redesign and need interior design inspiration.
8. Dear Designer
Featuring mood boards, storage ideas, and lighting details – Dear Designer is the creation of Carole King.
Like many interior bloggers, Carole’s own home is well worth coveting. She takes the reader through each section, revealing the gradual changes, and the motivation behind every choice.

9. Bright.Bazaar
Will Taylor believes “beige is boring”, so he created Bright Bazaar to encourage readers to introduce colour into their home. A Londoner now based in the US, he travels all over the world, documenting how other countries use colour.
Ten years after starting his blog, Will has now launched a line of nautical, brightly coloured furniture and interior accessories.
