Urban Living - Inspiring Interior Design

Aside from SquareRooms, Home and Decor and Urban Cube magazines, where do you find inspirations for your home make-over?

For me, I like to check out condominium show flats and not forgetting, interior design-related websites for the latest trends or some quirky ideas to spruce up my home.

In fact, what I really adore about interior design-related websites is that they are always updated, no boring cutter-cookie designs and the best part? These sites are entirely absolutely F R E E ! :)

In addition, no hopping from book-stores to book-store just to purchase an interior design-related magazine, no waiting for the next magazine issue and so on..

So today, I am going to share with you one of my favorite site: designsponge.com
