Best websites? Well there’s plenty out there. I usually use Pinterest for inspiration but for knowledge on latest trends try and visit interior design company websites. They showcase their latest projects and gives you an insight in terms of what’s in demand in various parts of the country. These online sources can be a great way to only top up your knowledge. Visiting design exhibitions, popping in to retail stores, subscribing to design magazines (interiors and fashion both), networking with architects, contractors and suppliers (of furniture, furnishings, lighting and everything interior) are some ways that simply cannot be replaced. Putting oneself out there is what, I think, makes you a better designer. Learning never ceases.

This question will benefit a lot of people .... If One has Ethics with a Capital E, yes i Believe it will.

Greatest of minds, contributing to our well being, have had to have INSPIRATIONS.

If your the curious kind, it will trigger a light up a lot of neuron networks, which will help in addressing the problem at hand more effectively ( with you repeating in  your mind " Ohh .. i never thought this way")

There are a lot that can help.  But for me, theres no substitute for experience and creativity to come-in first while you're in the design process.  I may be old fasioned as everything that i do starts from a pencil sketch and not browse and be inspired by someone elses design

In my years of college they always encouraged us to use Pinterest but I believe exploring more options even if it was a website of exhibition or museum is very useful to get inspiration from art and history.

When it comes to inspiration and trends, I always narrow it down to preference. I cannot prefer the best blogs but what I recommend is dig deep to websites of your inspiring designers where they showcase their top projects. I avoid looking up designs too much in blogs where they cluster everything into one. It will tend to confuse you of what you really want to achieve.
