About decor8

Click here for the bio of decor8 Editor, Holly Becker

decor8 is a quick fix for design addicts who love decorating their homes but find it challenging to shop online. Your time is important, so that's why I (founder/editor Holly Becker) scour dozens of resources for the latest tips and trends so you don't have to. Then, I sift through it all extracting only what I strongly favor, posting it here on my blog.

What's my style? I love to mix things up and have fun. I lean towards modern with clean lines, but layer in vintage modern and flea market finds so my rooms have depth of character and loads of warmth and color. I usually design around a neutral base, adding in color through textiles, rugs, wallpaper, art, and accessories. A little bohemian and a lot modern.

What does decor8 feature? In addition to product and store reviews, decor8 features a steady dose of designer interviews, indie goodies, budget finds, event news for Boston and beyond, art, design tips, discounts to your favorite stores (I work with stores directly and extend discounts to my readers), contests, and an extensive shopping guide (right column). That way, if you're about to travel within North America or Europe you can locate the stores I suggest visiting listed in the right column by city.

Please include product information, links, and full color photos of your work (no more than 5). You may also send me your submissions through the mail, however since I receive so many I cannot return samples. My address is:

So, gather 'round your monitors, it's time for inspiration and fresh finds, from sofas to stationery!

Please note: decor8 does not claim to be 'the source' for all design; beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I write about what suits my personal taste. If you find something on decor8, I would appreciate it if you'd note the source and link back to the post if you write about it on your blog/website. With a bevy of design blogs out there, many receive the same updates from companies, so there is bound to be overlap. However, I am an interior design consultant with experience in the industry, as well as a freelance design writer that spends hours researching and testing products for articles that I write for publications, so I bring my background and experiences, along with my own unique perspective, when I review products on decor8.
