Find Your Home Design Inspiration Offline: 5 Refreshing Ways to Spark Creativity

Step away from the online noise, social media perfection and trending designs to find your home interior design inspiration with these offline tips.

Moving away from the online space will allow you to immerse yourself in colour texture and inspiration from experiences that you could never find from your screen alone.

Use these tips to guide yourself to a connection that inspires and moves you and you will find that your home design becomes a space that is personal to you.

Get out there and experience something new

Travel is the ideal way to experience new sights, sounds, colours and perhaps even a new culture! Feel the spark of creativity in art, architecture and colours as you move through buildings, landscapes and markets. You don’t need to go too far! For a budget travel experience, consider being a tourist in your own town.

Spend some time in nature

Immerse your senses in the sounds, colours and textures of your natural surroundings. Go for a walk and take note of the things that move you. Birds, flowers, trees and mountains; nature has a plethora of inspiration waiting for you to tap into.

Experience culture at the museum

Museums and art galleries allow you to experience culture, admire artefacts and note the interactions of colours and textures, a surefire way to immerse your creative side when considering home design.

Try before you buy

Pop into your local home furnishings store and see how the furniture interacts in the space! Play with furnishings and accessories to complete the look and get to know how the furniture will look in your own home. Consider the way furnishings have been set to complement each other as well as the intentional use of lighting for the overall home design space.

Books and Magazines

Finally, browse through books and magazines, check your local library and immerse yourself in the design elements that you are most drawn to. Create a dream board with your inspired looks and make the first steps towards designing your home with furnishings that bring you joy.
