Who to follow on Twitter if you love... interior design

Social media is a great way to connect with influential people. The world of interior design has a huge number of brilliant minds at work around the world, many of whom use Twitter to share their thoughts, ideas and impressions. We’ve put together a list of twenty interior design accounts that are sure to inspire you by following them on Twitter. If you want a piece of daily cuteness to go with your design inspirations, make sure to check out our posts on the top 20 cat and dog Twitter accounts to follow.
