Fourteen top interior design bloggers from Europe and across the United States and Canada are headed to New York for the next edition of Modenus’ BlogTour, March 19-24. The bloggers will experience the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, showrooms and studios, and soak up all things design in New York City.

“It’s been said before but I’ll say it again, we love New York,” said Veronika Miller, CEO of Modenus, the online resource behind BlogTour. “Last time we brought BlogTour here, we set Twitter alight. The figures are one thing, for example an audience reach of over 1 million people per tour, but the experience was a life changer for many who took part. It created long term relationships and opportunities for bloggers and brands alongside the buzz and the excitement. That was last year, and now we’re back with a new group of bloggers and some great experiences lined up.”

Marys & Mimosas, the annual design media meet-up at the AD Home Design Show will be one of the highlights, as well as visits to luxury showrooms and quirky shops and galleries in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Here is a look at the design bloggers participating:

Desiree Groenendal is the author of interior and lifestyle blog Vosgesparis, a consistently fresh source for ideas on decorating with minimal color and maximum style.

Her goal is to inspire her readers on how to trust their feeling, find their own style and interpret this in their homes as a reflection of who they are. You can find her on Twitter as @Vosgesparis.

The team will have plenty of time to explore some of the city on their own to add their personal angle to the tour. The writers will then report back to their blog and social media audiences, both live during BlogTour as well as the weeks before and after.
