Modern Home Decor Blogs to Inspire Refined Living

May 11, 2016

Editor’s note: I’m happy to announce a new contributor to the blog: Jessica Marie Estrada! She’s compiled a list of home decor blogs that we turn to for inspiration — enjoy her post!

Relatable, minimal interiors - Blogs We Love

Modern home decor charms you with subtle touches of neutral color and open spaces bathed in natural sunlight. Embracing a simple, functional, and minimal design, modern decor focuses on the small details by pairing fun and interesting patterns. If you’re looking for home decor inspiration, these blogs will help you to refine and simplify your home.

Reading My Tea Leaves really encapsulates how to live minimally and sustainably with simple home and beauty routines. It’s a great journal to seek inspiration on how to de-clutter your home and for little tips and tricks around the house.

The Elysian Edit is a refined approach to lifestyle, design, and modern living. Jessica Comingore features the dreamiest spaces and beautifully photographs any home or city she travels to, making you want to re-design and simplify your life.

Blogs we love - A Cozy Kitchen

While not technically a home decor blog, A Cozy Kitchen‘s recipes and baked goods are so perfectly crafted that they are too beautiful not to mention as one of our faves! They will not only make your mouth water, but also provide a fresh take on modern baking that will look gorgeous on your dining room table. We love her recipes for a lavish birthday party, or just a dinner for two.

Design Sponge : We love getting lost in this website for a real-life look into the homes of artists and designers! It is lovely to be able to dive into the homes of these talented people and get a peak into their lives. Being able to read about their creative process in finding their dream home and the story behind it’s unique decor, inspires us to fantasize about creating one-of-a-kind modern decor in our own home!
