Free ways to get inspiration for designing your home

So you want to brighten up your home, but don't want to deal with hiring an interior designer? No need to worry about where to begin, as there are many sources from which you can draw the inspiration you need to begin your redesign. Some of these sources take mere minutes for you to discover what you love and start planning out your new look. Here are a couple of hassle-free and no-cost ways to awaken the designer within you:

  • Head online: As you would expect, you can do most anything in today's world with the click of a mouse. This is no different in searching for interior design ideas for your home. From perusing through Pinterest boards, Instagram posts and even doing a simply Google search, you can find anything from DIY project ideas to coming across new color palates you didn't know you loved. Whether you have a passion for dark wood furniture, or elegant leather couches, ​the web is the most extensive free way to find ideas for where to begin your redesign. Furthermore, there are plenty of free apps, like Homestyler, to add to your repertoire of design sources as well.
  • Open houses: This may seem a little unusual, especially considering you are wanting to liven up your own home — not buy another one. However, walking through someone else's space is a fantastic way to experience what certain designs might feel like in your own home. You might see a comfy patterned armchair you love, or find that you want a more modern looking entertainment center for your living room.
