The Best Home Design Inspiration Sites

Building your dream home or undergoing a renovation project both call for design inspiration.  Whether you’re in the throes of a home makeover, or daydreaming about a state-of-the-art, gourmet kitchen, we’ve compiled a list of the best home design inspiration sites for any project, budget or style.

Home & Design

There are a so many things we love about Home & Design, but do yourself a favor and visit the Luxury Lifestyle section where you can see how celebrities live, get inspired with fancy décor ideas from real TV/movie sets, and learn about the latest home technologies that will soon take over the world.

Once you’ve gotten lost in the fabulous lives of the rich and famous, browse the Design/Remodeling section for modern and creative design inspiration. Another neat feature – you can search for design professionals in your area.

House Beautiful

The editorial gurus behind House Beautiful create A LOT of content to browse, but their Home Makeovers and Renovate sections offer up some really beautiful (hence the name) design ideas. From simple quick fixes to full-on reno projects, you’ll quickly find yourself bookmarking articles upon articles of great home design inspiration.

And for the DIY-ers, they have an entire section dedicated to large and small projects you can tackle yourself. Get after it!

Freshome

The best part of Freshome’s site is the way they have each topic organized. If you know exactly what you’re looking for, quickly finding articles on a specific project is easy to find. It’s also great for the dreamers who aren’t sure where to start, but want a change.

While the site is more focused around interior decorating and design, they do have a section devoted to architecture, which will get the brain stirring with fun examples from homes around the world. (Like this incredible ranch-style home in sunny Palm Springs that we can’t get over.)

Houzz

Houzz launched in 2009 with a vision of becoming a Pinterest-esque social network specifically for the world of home design. Fast forward to today, and the company has evolved into an uber-niche online community, directory and marketplace for people in every stage of home design: new builds, remodels, redecorating, you name it.

Connect with Houzz’s more than 40 million active users to share and save inspiration ideas, ask questions or advice from professionals or other home owners, find professional contractors or designers in your area, or shop by department for anything you may need in your home.

Remodelista

Among Remodelista’s endless collection of design inspo articles, you’ll also find handy remodeling guides for any type of project or home upgrade you can imagine: kitchen sinks and faucets, cabinets and hardware, appliances. If you’ve ever wondered, they’ve already answered. All this and more can be found in their Remodeling 101 section.

They’ve also included a breakdown of design inspiration from popular cities and countries around the world, to help with folks who are going after a very specific vibe.
