We're about to buy our first home, but I have no idea about interior design. After years of living in apartments filled with mismatched second-hand items, I'm lost when it comes to my own personal style. Can anyone recommend their favorite blogs or websites to help a beginner like me learn about paint, lighting, and furniture?

I follow a lot of designers on tiktok. Maybe just do a quiz to see what design styles you like then go on tt and search "[design style] ideas" and find creators you like. Im happy to share some if you want

Also maybe consider getting a designer. In the scheme of house costs it's a negligible expense and can make a huge difference

Have you put an offer on a home yet? If yes, what’s the style of the home?
