One of the hardest things when it comes to giving your home a new look is knowing where to start. You may have a rough idea of how you want your room to look, or you may be feeling completely overwhelmed by colour schemes, themes, feng shui and functionality.

In these situations, we could all do with a helping hand and some design intervention.  Some of the best resources are readily available at your fingertips with thousands of websites and blogs full of inspiring home design ideas!  So flick on the kettle, put your feet up and browse the possibilities…

Facebook - Hold on, I hear you say, Facebook is just for catching up with friends and laughing at unfortunately tagged photographs isn’t it?!  Well, not anymore.  With many companies embracing social media, you can find great inspiration if you follow the right people.  Home Interest Magazines are a good place to start, with the likes of Country Living and House Beautiful posting great content on their walls.

Even we at Plumbs have a facebook page on which we regularly post inspiring home images, discussions and helpful design tips.  Be sure to ‘like’ us to see our latest blog posts and home décor ideas.

Pinterest – Another great resource for anyone looking for inspiring home décor images and decorating ideas.  This online pinboard allows you to post images of the things you love, including all things interior!

Colorjive – A good interactive tool for helping you pick out your colourscheme!

Plumbs Blog – And don’t forget the Plumbs Blog!  We keep our eye on all the hottest and upcoming interior design blogs to bring you the latest trends and design ideas.
