You Can Redecorate Your Home From The Comfort Of...Your Home

By Marshall Bright & Venus Wong, Refinery29

Decorating a home or apartment is a fun project, but it's also daunting. Whether you're starting with a blank canvas or looking for a statement piece to upgrade an area, it can be hard to know where to start. That's where the internet can be your best — and worst — friend. Enter a few words into Google, and you'll open up pages and pages of every kind of bookend, end table, or table runner you can imagine. Now your search has gone from a treasure hunt to a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.

Domino

We were super devastated when Domino folded back in 2009, but the iconic shelter magazine has managed a comeback unlike anything else. Since its resurrection in 2013, the title has evolved into a digital content hub and retailer, offering many of the products seen in its home tours.

The site has kept on with its aspirational content: You'll find hotel reviews and travel guides on top of stories home decor ideas. There's also an impressive showing on household tips, such as DIY furniture hacks and cleaning how-tos. We're most excited about getting access to the glossy's print content. But, these pages are all optimized with a "see-now-buy-now" option online. Now you can shop everything from the bible of home inspiration with a snap of a finger.

Chairish 

 

In the market for an Art Deco original painting, or a one-of-a-kind bar cart from the Swinging Sixties? You'll be able to find all that — and everything in between — at Chairish. The site positions itself as a premier marketplace for design lovers to buy and sell used and vintage furniture, and while a portion of the merchandise are collectors' items, there's no shortage of unique pieces at a more wallet-friendly level.
