We at Lighting & Decor read constantly: magazines, websites submissions, social media posts, the never-ending email streams. Even with all our work, we always make time to read through our favorite design blogs.
Blogs have come a long way since they first became popular during the early 2000s, and now they’re more important than ever, especially for e-commerce websites. Having a design blog is a great way to keep in touch with customers long after they’ve made a purchase. It also improves your site’s SEO standing, which will help future customers find you.
No matter how many emails pile up, we always make time to read our favorite design blogs. Here are our five favorite design blogs.
