Like many great design blogs online today,
Blink Décor was started to help homeowners find the resources to outfit their homes with the best and most beautiful home accessories today. Anne Carr and Connie Dirvin sure knew a thing or two about home renovations and how hard it can be to find what you want: they each had completed renovations of their own homes and saw first hand how difficult it can be to find what you need and how there wasn’t a one stop place to find those resources. So, in the Fall of 2006 Blink Décor launched!
Unlike some other blogs that focus mainly on just showing you the pretty things out there, Blink Décor is a guide to online decorating and renovating, offering realistic and oh-so-handy overviews and links directly to the online home décor resources. Don’t worry, not just anyone gets on Blink Décor, Carr and Dirvin edit the resources to ensure only the best is getting through to their readers. And while both founders have a definite taste for modern styles, Blink Décor recognizes and promotes all styles, namely modern contemporary, antique and even eclectic.
Whether you’re not sure what you’re looking for or you’ve got a mission, Blink Décor’s website is organized to help you find what you need easily. You can search by home item type, vendor, and style, and the site features lots of elements to help you figure out your own style, like “Eye on Design” and even an interactive blog integrated into the site. Carr and Dirvin even offer a bi-weekly newsletter called Blink Ink, which further explores design trends, styles and décor ideas. Their mission for Blink is simple: “to monitor the marketplace for design trends, fresh ideas and solutions to provide inspiration and to simplify the design process.” Believe us, they deliver on their promise. And of course, the photos are wonderful and inspiring! Browse through tons of interior room shots, individual items and products to get inspiration for your own home project, or just for fun!

Carr and Dirvin both have varied backgrounds, Carr earning a degree in Psychology and Dirvin having worked in advertising, but they both share a love of design and home décor. Their shared experience of trying to renovate homes not only brought them together, but also proves a winning combination in helping spread knowledge of design resources for everyone. Buying home products online isn’t for everyone, but with Blink Décor you can buy online with confidence---and style!
