When I first moved into my new place, I was naively excited for making it exactly the way I wanted…immediately. New paint, new furniture and all of it would be so stylish. Then I realized I have a mortgage payment due soon and even though I want a new chair, I need to buy groceries.
Lately, I’ve been channeling my energy to shop for new furniture and decor on a few websites that let you find, save and share your favorite items from across the web in one place. You can even group your saved items by each room to keep things really organized. Each of these sites also have fun community features and giveaways so it may be personal preference which one you like best. I recommend:
-
Kaboodle.com – in addition to saving your favorites, the styleboards feature lets you drag and drop items onto a digital bulletin board (like the example shown here).
-
- Stylehive.com – fabulous for the fashionistas out there.
-
- Thisnext.com – a very clean and simple interface makes this site easy to use.
Bonus: sort and save inspiration by room
On Houzz.com you can create and save “ideabooks” of various rooms around your home. Ideabooks are basically photo slideshows featuring inspiring interior design images added all the time by users. Ideabooks often have fun themes like “Feeling (wonderfully) Blue” and “Get Your Outdoor Party On.” You can look through other users’ ideabooks and save their photos to create your own.
How do you create your vision?
