1. Mirador

I love Morador to bits. The minimalist blog is all I expect to get from a design-related publication. We chose Mirador to top our list because it’s a self-proclaimed inspirational blog. Not only that, but they do their job high-class.

Inspiration is personal, it’s something as abstract as taste or color.
It’s often concealed, yet again present and overwhelming. Whether it’s a random
glimpse or a sophisticated pursuit of ideas, inspiration can be found anywhere.
We like to trigger it by keeping our vision open at all time. – thisismirador

I couldn’t have said it better. Every new idea is a great idea. As distinct human-beings, out thought process is different, meaning that our sources of inspiration are different. We wholeheartedly hope that you find this article and we invite you to share with us the blogs that you follow and read daily.
