Interiors Addict on the Decorex top 100 list

I was delighted to wake up to the news from the UK that I made it onto the #DECOREX100 list of top interior design Twitter influencers!

In the three weeks of the campaign, international interior design show Decorex received 3,300 tweets from the global interior design community, nominating almost 300 interior design Twitter influencers. The campaign reached more than 100,000 interior design professionals and enthusiasts. The #DECOREX100 list of the final top 100 influencers was curated by the Decorex International team, and features the most influential Twitter users including interior designers, design brands, stores and websites as well as industry organisations, bloggers and magazines.

Fellow Aussies (not that I am one, techincally, but whatever) who made it onto the list include Lucy Feagins of The Design Files, Rebecca Lowrey Boyd of Wee Birdy, Jo and Kim of Desire to Inspire (go the bloggers!) and Amanda Talbot. Some of my favourite international interiors blogs made it on too, including decor8, Bright.Bazaar, Happy Interior Blog and Apartment Therapy.

Decorex is being held at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, London, between 23-26 September 2012.

Interiors photo month on Instagram. Wanna play? Here’s how…

Who is on Instagram? Who knows about #photoaday? Who wants to have some fun and be creative with their phone and interiors-inspired photos? If you read this blog, you know you do!

Fellow blogger Fat Mum Slim came up with the super fun idea that is Photo a Day on Instagram and I thought it would be cool to start a specifically interiors version. Before doing this, I asked her permission rather than just ripping it off. We have manners here in the blogosphere. Thankfully she said yes. Thanks, Chantelle!
