Last year we launched a new decorating Instagram account called Inspired Room Style. Each week we share a curated selection of classic and contemporary pieces to help followers decorate their homes affordably and effortlessly. It’s been so much fun, and many readers of The Inspired Room have asked us to bring those favorite finds to the blog—especially for those who don’t use Instagram. Below is a roundup of last month’s top picks from Inspired Room Style, chosen by our followers.
Here’s how Inspired Room Style works: we search the web weekly to select pieces we love at a range of price points, focusing mostly on affordable options. We include unique original art, handmade items, and vintage finds when available. Whenever possible we share photos of items in real life—either in stores or in our own homes.
There’s no cost to follow along. It’s a simple, convenient way to collect inspiration and stylish pieces over time, helping you save money, skip the frustration of endless searching, and choose the best options for your home.
Our goal is to make decorating easier and to give you the confidence to make stylish choices for your space.
I hope you enjoy this month’s Inspired Room Style favorites!
