People continually ask me
where I find inspiration, ideas or stay current on the latest trends. There are
several ways and places and things I listen to that give me that shot in the
arm from time to time. Here's my go to list.
1.
Instagram-I love following up and coming designers, new
manufacturers and industry leaders to see what people around the world are up
to.
2.
Million Dollar Decorating podcast with James Swan-This is my
newest favorite! Every day James releases a new podcast where he interviews a
different designer. I love learning where others find their inspiration,
learning more about their background and design aesthetic and how they decorate
their own homes.
3.
Houzz-I especially love their twice a week newsletters that I always
learn something from.
4.
Blogs-I'm a junkie, but this a great way to keep in contact with
your favorite designers and see what new and exciting projects they are working
on. And it comes to your email inbox.
5.
Travel-definitely my favorite way to learn. Different cultures,
age and parts of the world have something to offer.
6.
Designer show houses-what's more fun than spending a day with
girlfriends touring through the latest designer showhouse?
7.
Continuing Education Classes-always a source of new information
and ideas
8.
Trade shows-manufacturers are displaying their best and brightest
9.
Magazines-yes, I still love tearing pages out of magazines.
What are your favorite ways to gain inspiration or ideas? I'd love
to hear. Email me at jessica@webbercolemam.com
