Each of us has our own sources of inspiration, unique “places of power” where we draw energy for our creativity. A place where we collect various references for visual images we like. A place where we always return to find something that will inspire us to create something new.
And sometimes such collections of visual references actually develop into something more than one large online moodboard. Want a great example? Then here's Dreamspaces - a dedicated Instagram account with tons of inspiring ideas for interior design and architecture.

The Dreamspaces project, which as of today can boast over 212K subsrcibers, has 1,195 postings so far and is run by Isabelle Wuilloud, a London-based digital creative and digital designer. The author herself describes Dreamspaces as “a platform to explore utopian design and architecture,” and this, as you can see, is damn close to reality.

"Your definitive source for really good design" - this is how the creator describes her project.

Well, judge for yourself - among the creations collected in the Dreamspaces virtual museum, you can find both ultra-modern interior design and the ruins of ancient buildings on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, from strict classical beauty in furniture, to some overly weird yet somehow attractive shrimp chaise longue. This is probably why creative people around the world do love this page - because here everyone will find something to their liking.

So why not start right now? Please feel free to scroll this selection of the best postings from Dreamspaces, collected by Bored Panda, and maybe some of them will inspire you to create something nice and beautiful right now!

These are unbelievable interesting! I'd like everyone of them, just because they are bizarre, and this bizzare gives way to new comfy styles, as well. But I'm not just bored, but lazy panda as well. Thanks for gathering it all!
