Creating a nice and warm place to live can be a very tricky thing. Decorating should be a fun part, since you have that advantage to put your own unique character into the room. But planning the design might be a bit confusing. Especially when you do it by yourself.

To be honest, sometimes we really had no idea what to say when a friends asked us for interior or decor advice because we don’t have any interior design nor architecture background. BUT we do love to discuss about ‘finding the inspirations’ for your space. That’s why we always love “inspiration hunting”, because…well, that’s the first thing we need to do before planning the whole renovation or room makeover, right?

So, now we’ll give you our current online sources when it comes to finding an inspirations for interior and decor.

Houzz

This is an incredible online platform source for exterior/interior design!  You can browse tons of house inspirations by category (rooms and styles). Houzz is actually connecting owners and home design professionals (designers, architects, builders), but we don’t think this service is available here in Indonesia. :)

Pinterest

Pinterest is also a great place to find decor inspirations. All you need to do is sign up and browse anyone’s boards from all over the world. We frequently pinned our favorite inspirations to our Pinterest boards too.

Airbnb

Yes, we know that this is actually an apps for travelers, but it’s always fun to look for the inspirations on this apps, because it’s not like checking on hotel brochures filled with very sleek designed rooms. Some of the houses/apartments offered on Airbnb decorate their places to look very homey yet stylish, so it’s always interesting to browsing through Airbnb.

Instagram

Sometimes we just like to search for a hashtag like #homedecor #diy or #interior. As simple as that, and You can find lots of inspiration from people’s instagram photos. From a well-known account like apartmentherapy to a random house of a stranger. Anything can inspire us. We found some of our favorite cribs in Instagram. One of them was Ayang Cempaka‘s home in Dubai. :)

Bookmark and save all the links and images that catch your eyes. If you have an extra time, go search for interior blogs and websites. Don’t forget to take a look around your neighborhood too.  You’ll probably find a unique yet affordable decor ornaments and furnitures. Good luck! ;)
