The Best Interior Design Blogs to Follow in 2025
In the last five years, the importance of home and how we live in our space has continued to be top of mind for so many people. We purchased a new home in North Carolina, moving after 23 years of living in Los Angeles because, remote work, thankfully, is here to stay.
While we worked with an interior design firm in LA to help us with the majority of the project, we will have to finish the bells and whistles (styling and accessories) over time. But, that’s really as it should be. Your house should feel collected, not like you went to Crate and Barrel and just bought everything from the latest designer’s collaboration (note to self!).
There are so many resources for design (hello, Substack!), 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. Have a wonderful holiday season!
A Roundup of My Favorite Interior Design Blogs
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. Drew Scott of Lone Fox. Full disclosure, he’s my client over at The Storied Group. And he is incredible. He continues to gain massive momentum in the design industry, showcasing his easy, affordable “daily dose of DIY.” From full room makeovers to sharing the behind the scenes as he makes over his new Los Angeles home, he will show you how to get that magazine-worthy look on a budget.
3. Laurel Bern – A new blog discovery for me (thanks, Pinterest!), I love how Laurel shares everything from sources to layouts to choosing paint colors, she isn’t afraid to go deep into the good, the bad and the ugly of every choice she makes!
4. Chris Loves Julia: Down to Earth and full of incredible DIY ideas, my favorite part about this blog is all the incredible resources. Some designers really don’t want to tell you where they shop or “trade secrets.” They share them all! Lucky us!
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Sarah Sherman Samuel: Sarah is also an LA based designer, and I love her renovation stories and that she, too, will share her resources with reckless abandon!
8. Shea McGee: I am so obsessed with her aesthetic, and I love that she has an entire online store now. I go to her blog multiple times a month to get inspiration, and it’s almost certain that I will find exactly what I’m looking for.
