9 ways to get home decor inspiration

Shelter magazines (like Style At Home, naturellement!) are great when it comes to providing design inspiration. So is HGTV programming (like Samantha Pynn's Pure Design, also naturellement!). Trips to designer showrooms and home shows are also great ways to come up with new ideas for your home. Sometimes, however, you may be looking for something a bit less expected, a bit more individual, a bit more, well, you.

When looking to put your personal stamp on home improvement and home decorating projects for beds, baths and beyond, consider these 9 surprising style muses.
