Design Sponge

Design Sponge is quite simply one of the best blogs on the web, let alone in the interior design sector.

 

Launched way back in 2004, Design Sponge has gained a big reputation and it's easy to see why. Aside from the stunning design, the quality of the content is immense, as is the wide range of topics covered in every post.

Whether it's store and product reviews, gift guides, diy projects, before & after furniture, home makeovers, home tours or trend forecasting, the array of expertise on offer is unbelievable.

 

Editor of the blog Grace Bonney certainly knows what she's talking about, having worked as a contributing editor at places like CRAFT magazine, a freelancer with top publications like House and Garden and The New York Post, and as Style Editor of HGTV’s Ideas Magazine.

 

But Design Sponge is far from being a one-woman show and has a strong editorial team, who constantly update the blog with new content and features.

 

If you're interested in any form of design, not just home interiors, you should definitely pay regular visits to Design Sponge. You won't be alone, as the blog has over 31,000 dedicated subscribers.
