We’ve probably never shared with you our criteria we look for when choosing a design blog to profile. Well, it’s pretty simple. We look for the most popular interior design blogs out there, because we know those resonate with the most people. We look for those blogs that exhibit the most potential for inspiring others with their great photographs, stories, tips and ideas.
Contemporist fits these criteria and more to a “T.”
After an exhausting search of blogs for this post we landed on Contemporist and inhaled the fresh design air. We weren’t knocked over with tons of dizzying images or ads---just a simple black and white color header and a bright array of simply laid out posts. We appreciate this site’s fresh look when compared to other sites that seem a bit “jumbled.”
Run by the hip Erin and Dave, Contemporist is considered a source for architects, interior designers, home owners and lovers of design. Updated daily, you can find information on new building practices, products, designs, ideas, and more. Considered to be more of an “online publication” versus just a regular blog, the Contemporist has really become the first place to get inside knowledge in the design trade, and has been read by over 4 million people since its launch in October of 2007.

Divided into five main categories—architecture, furniture, interiors, lighting and miscellaneous—you can go straight to what it is you are looking for. Posts are thorough, yet brief, and leave you with just the right amount of information, but also whetting your appetite for more. We just love scrolling down the page and looking at all the giant, full-color photos of buildings and interiors. It’s perfect for when you just want to view a little eye-candy or when you are really looking hard for inspiration. We highly recommend you check out the Contemporist!
