Here at Ideal Homes, we have plenty of amazing home photos in our photo gallery, but if you're looking for more, here are some home design blogs, websites, and apps we think you'll love. Houzz - This app will suck you in and leave you scrolling for hours. It has a great set up for saving your favorites and includes links to purchase items you love. Pinterest - Unless you've been living under a rock, you're probably familiar with Pinterest, but we couldn't leave it off our list because it's a great place to search for home design ideas. Pinterest is perfect for figuring out what style of home you love because it suggests pins similar to things you're already pinning. House Beautiful - This website has a little of everything including lifestyle articles, design ideas, and DIY instructions. Apartment Therapy - Whether you're looking for home tours for apartments, houses, or even tiny homes, apartment therapy has you covered. You can even search by location. Dimples and Tangles - Right here in the Oklahoma City area, we have Jennifer Griffin in Edmond. This is a great blog if you enjoy incorporating color into your home design. The Nesting Place - If you lean more toward a minimalist (while still warm and comfy) style, The Nesting Place might be the site for you. This site even offers a member community that can help you design your own home. Affordable Interior Design - This site is all about getting big style on a small budget. Studio Mcgee - A Interior Design that fills their blog and Instagram with gorgeous inspiration. Magnolia - Who could talk about interior design without mentioning Joanna Gaines.
