Welcome!
My name is Melissa Michaels and I’m the creator of The Inspired Room. I love to write about finding contentment at home. I focus on embracing the seasons to putter + nest, find peace and comfort in rhythms + routines, get inspired to gather + welcome others into our home, and care for our well-being by keeping our life and home clean + simple. I’m also a New York Times bestselling author of many books on the home.
I was honored two years in a row to be voted the Reader’s Favorite Decorating blogger at Better Homes & Gardens magazine. It makes me so happy that so many women resonate with my thoughts on home. The Inspired Room has continued each year to be included in lists of top design blogs.
I am budget conscious but also appreciate good design and a well-kept home. I don’t think you have to have one without the others!
