We all need inspiration sometimes, whether it’s for our job or our home life. As home designers, we are always looking for ways to be more inspired, whether it’s during a conversation with a client, a drive looking at homes in a new town, a beautiful day outside, or scouring the internet. Innovations, artistry, and creativity can come from so many places.
At RDS, our designers spend time searching the internet for inspired ideas. We have several favorites that have become our “go-to” when we need a fresh eye. And who doesn’t need that sometimes? We’re sharing a few of our favorites with you as a way to help you be inspired when you sit with us to create your dream home or chat about the remodel of your home. Maybe you want some inspiration to refresh a room in your home or just want to dream a bit. Whatever your reason, we hope you find something to get your creative juices flowing below!
A FEW OF OUR FAVORITES
The BUILD Show with Matt Risinger videos on YouTube has content spotlighting architect and craftsmanship work. He features videos discussing Building Science (Good for anyone to watch if they are building a home or planning on it), Craftsmanship, and Best Practices for Building & Remodeling. While this channel is mainly for builders, remodelers, and architects, we see the value for anyone building or remodeling their home, or the home DIYer.
Hull Works is located in Fort Worth, Texas. Building period-inspired custom homes, renovating homes and manufacturing authentic architectural millwork, this website is a gorgeous representation of craftsmanship.
Our RDS Pinterest page is teeming with saved content curated by style and room type. We are frequently adding content and often ask our clients to take a look and find ideas. We feature different types of homes, outdoor living, special details, various rooms in the home, and more. Take a look!
The Local Project is a YouTube page highlighting homes from around the world. We guarantee you’ll see extraordinary homes, beautiful features, stunning landscapes, and hear amazing stories about the homes. It’s worth a look just to dream!
Our RDS Houzz page (as well as the Houzz website) is a useful source for pondering design ideas, project information, and more.

It’s a beautiful website and their weekly newsletter is filled with interesting information.
