MY FAVOURITE WAYS TO FIND INTERIOR/DECOR INSPIRATION

Hello everyone! So when it comes to homeware/interior, i always tend to have a few places where i go to in search of that inspiration. I could also spend hours scrolling through looking for different ideas and by the end my camera roll or the particular app i am using is filled with images. With that in mind for today's post i thought i would share with you, my favourite ways to find interior/decor inspiration. I also thought this would be a great way to share the ways to get inspiration, if you are looking to change up your decorations this holiday season.

1. online homeware/decor stores/apps

One of the best ways to begin to look for inspiration is probably to look where you can buy actually pieces from, whether that be the online store or app. One of my favourite places to shop for homeware is definitely on the h&m home app, what i love about the app is you can view the items how you could style them (such as how you could style your dining room table). I also love how everything is split up into categories, making it easier to search what you are looking for. Another great thing about downloading the app to your phone, is that apps tend to have more offers/deals on or discount codes than the website. 

2. visit department stores/homeware stores (such as homesense or h&m)

Sticking with the shopping for inspiration theme, this time actually visiting a homeware store and looking at items as well as how products in the store are displayed. By doing this it will give you a rough idea on ways to style different things, whether that be what cushions to add to your bed or armchair, or even how to colour co-ordinate things to match. Some of my favourite places for this are homesense, h&m, john lewis, next home, zara home and debenhams. Catch my four simple ways to switch up your home for autumn post here.

3. pinterest

Pinterest is my go-to app for more than just homeware, i am constantly searching for food inspo as well as nail art patterns and you can even discover/shop prints from etsy on the app. That being said if you are looking for homeware then pinterest is where to look, you can save images to your camera roll, create your own pinterest boards and read blog posts/try out things. When it comes to my own pinterest boards i like to keep things in different categories (such as christmas decor, homeware inspo, dinner recipes, desserts, beauty) which is much easier to go back and find what you are looking for.  

4. we heart it

We heart it to me is an app which is a mix between a few different apps, such as tumblr, instagram and pinterest also. But that being said it is filled with so many beautiful images of homeware decor/inspiration, which you can save to your profile by hearting/liking the image (just as you would on instagram). You can use the search bar to search whatever you are looking for, as well as looking at different articles, channels and even discover image suggestions underneath any image you have clicked on.

5. interior magazines

Another great way to search for inspiration is the old fashion way and pick up a magazine, preferably dedicated to homeware/interior. Magazines such as ideal home, elle decoration, living etc and even free homeware magazines/catalogues from stores such as john lewis and next.

6. google search blogs/images

Finally probably one of the most simple ways to search for the inspiration you are looking for, is by typing it into google. By using google you can start off my simply typing something like "christmas interior ideas" and narrow down your search to the colour scheme you are looking for, whether you want a modern or traditional style or even how to decorate a certain piece of furniture/feather such as a fireplace. Also from the image search you can even view different interior blog posts, articles and also click the shopping bar to find similar pieces.
