Want to get published? We’ll help you crack the code.

For decades, most interior designers’ love of the profession began in the pages of a magazine. The glossy spreads—torn out and pinned up, shared or saved—were a place to find inspiration, hone a personal style, and dream of seeing one’s own work published someday. 

These days, would-be designers are just as likely to get inspired through digital media—beautiful rooms are more often liked, regrammed or pinned than tacked onto a corkboard. But whether it’s on the page or a homepage, getting published still matters. So how do you make it happen? We went straight to the source, talking to editors at both print and digital publications to learn how they work. If you just finished an amazing project the world needs to see, here’s your guide to getting it out there.
