1. Design By Proxy OK, so interior designer Susan Stewart likes Herman Miller. But besides that she has a great eye for interiors and her blog features really nice work. Where to start: Stewart’s take on the amazing Rosa Muerta.

2. The New Yooxer A site that is so cool there is no About section. All I can tell you is their design coverage is spot on. Where to start: The Milan Furniture Fair Report.

3. Yellowtrace Dana Hughes, an interior designer from my hometown (Sydney) gives her take on all things stylish. Where to start: Click on the interior design category for some great eye candy.

4. Bloesem And while we’re globe trotting here is a design blog by a Dutch woman living in Kuala Lumpur. Where to start: The post on hanging plants. Why? Because every office needs a bit of green.

5.  Fine Ting Og Sjokolade Seems fitting to end in Norway with a blog in Norwegian (and a bit of English). I don’t read Norwegain but I do know a good blogger when I see one and this woman (who I suspect isn’t Twiggy) has a great eye for beautiful interiors, images and design. Where to start: Gulest, which I think means yellow. I spied a nice little Eames chair at the kitchen table.
