Life Beautiful: Our Top 5 Interiors and Lifestyle Websites

We thought we'd give you a roundup of our fave interiors and lifestyle websites this week. These are the sites we come back to time and again for inspiration, whether for a specific project in the home or just some interior design eye candy.

So, brew yourself a coffee, kick back and get browsing.

1.Reading My Tea Leaves

This gorgeous blog is written by Erin Boyle, author and lifestyle blogger. Erin made her name with pictures of her beautiful but TINY New York apartment. She focuses on slow living, minimalist decor, maximising whatever space you've got, and ethical shopping. And like us, Erin is a big fan of linen, thanks not only to its timeless beauty but also its environmentally friendly credentials. There's always something useful or inspiring on here. We love it.

2.Houzz

Chock-a-block with handy DIY hints, design and decor inspiration we can happily lose an hour or two browsing the pages of this website. From remodeling a room to revamping your garden, there is a wealth of wisdom and help here. There's a lot to navigate so it helps to begin with a specific issue or area you want to address. Then let yourself dive into the home improvement rabbit hole...

3.Designmom

Established by designer and mother of six (yes, six!) Gabrielle Blair, Designmom strikes the perfect balance between interesting, thought-provoking discussions of family life, and fabulous interior decorating tips. She has a great eye and shares her family's renovation of their current home in San Fransisco. They previously lived in a hugely envy-inducing house in rural France. This is a gorgeous, honest and insightful website that should be your first stop if you have a family or an interest in home design.

4.Remodelista

Positioning themselves as a 'sourcebook for considered living', Remodelista provides a global resource for decorating and improving your home. There are ideas a-plenty and articles showcasing the latest trends in home design. Despite the amount of information on the site it looks clear and clean. A joy.

5.Abigail Ahern

This little gem of a blog is aimed at reinventing spaces. It is packed with top tips and how-tos that will help you create the home of your dreams, whatever your budget. The photography and styling is spot on too. Abigail uses rich, sumptuous colours to create stunning rooms. And there is an online store where you can buy accessories if the urge takes you. We defy you to not find something useful or inspiring on here.
