In Part Two of GoodFactories‘ FREE resources for interior designers, we have listed some great blogs. These blogs are updated almost every day by passionate writers, often feature more interesting concepts, and make it easier to view the latest trends that you may have missed. If you follow all these blogs, you should not miss another trend!
Emmas Design Blog is one of the best European home furnishing/design blogs that I’ve run across. While designs here tend to be modern, they are not over the top, and have inspiration from new and old Scandinavia. Also I’d say the writer has an eye for softer colors with clean and soft designs that really look great.

The blog named “As I see it…“ is continuously updated with room designs, color ideas, and fantastic home furnishings. I’m not sure what Holly’s exact job is, but I’d guess she is in interior design. She sifts through hundreds of websites and pulls out the gems in a fun-to-view blog.
If the name isn’t enough to draw your attention, the product surely should be. There are two writers who sift out ideas and home settings they love. You’ll find lots of unique furniture and home décor, mostly photographed in home settings.

People looking for the latest patterns at the retail level should check these out first. Featured are printed patterns and designs on all sorts of mediums, from lighting and dinnerware, to towels and coffee coasters.
MoCo Loco is possibly one of the coolest websites/blogs to visit. With a very modern eye for design, they have fantastic images and even their website layout fits this theme. Users are taken to a horizontal scroll page, which is a bit confusing, but can be switched via the click of a button. The design pages feature modern architecture, furniture, lighting, and more. Manufacturers can also submit their own designs to the editors via their website!
