Holly started her blog way back in 2006, making her one of the first interior designers to hit the blog world in a big way.\n\nAnd for good reason. Her simple, elegant site houses tons of inspiration and tips from one designer to another. Plus, she regularly features other designers and stylists, showcasing their work and helping readers get tuned in to who and what is up-and-coming in the design world.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Designtripper\"><\/span>2. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.designtripper.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Designtripper<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow: auto;\">\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n\nDo you find your passion for design crossing over with a love of travel?

But a word of warning\u2014getting bitten by the travel bug is inevitable after you\u2019ve browsed through a few posts.

The only problem? Developing the self-control to step away!\n\nThe gorgeous rooms and homes are sure to provide inspiration for any space, but what we really love is the blog\u2019s section on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/renovating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">renovations<\/a>.

As a designer whose career is in the process of taking off, Will is wonderfully open and honest about his hopes and fears for the future of his business (and his life!). Plus, frequent peeks at his own NYC apartment as he settles in make reading his blog feel like sitting down to get caught up with an old friend.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Coco_Kelley\"><\/span>6. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cocokelley.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coco + Kelley<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nTalk about lifestyle blogs\u2014Coco + Kelley\u2019s Cassandra Lavalle covers everything from cocktail recipes to inspiring interiors!
