Great Home Design: Online Inspiration

Looking for some redecorating tips and ideas? You can get terrific advice from design blogs and other online sites. Here are some favorites.

In the not-so-distant past, design magazines held court as glossy rulers of the world of interiors. But as recent economic pressures have closed many shelter magazines, from Domino to Metropolitan Home, expertly edited blogs and Web sites have risen in relevance, offering daily—sometimes hourly—home ideas. 

“I get about 60 design blogs sent to me via e-mail every day—though that’s not to say I get to read them every day,” says DC interior designer Sally Steponkus. “I tend to skim, but I love them for inspiration.”

To help navigate the blogosphere, we asked local interior designers and shop owners to tell us their favorite RSS feeds.
