Cities are hotbeds for great design. Often, so many different designers, architects, and interior stylists come together to create some truly great buildings that it’s worth visiting some cities just to take in all of the awe-inspiring design.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Scandinavia is known for its fantastic chic sense of style when it comes to its interior design, and Copenhagen seems to be the capital of Scandi chic. In fact, the best place to start is the Design Museum Denmark. You will find lots of exhibitions dedicated to interior design. You’ll also see lots of Danish design brands popping up in interiors as you explore the city, including Royal Copenhagen and Dansk.

Los Angeles, United States

Los Angeles is known mainly for Hollywood and all of the fashionable actors and actresses who live there. But did you also know it has a brilliant reputation for fantastic design? It’s true! Once the city was left behind in the American design stakes, especially when you compare it to the likes of New York City, but in recent years things have really improved. The recent completion of some large-scale building projects in Downtown Los Angeles have really improved the area and created some striking buildings in the neighborhood.

Venice, Italy

For the best of traditional European design, it’s a good idea to head to Venice in Italy. As canals cross through the city, most of its streets have been designed with practicality in mind, so that the buildings don’t prevent canal boats from passing through. This doesn’t detract from the gorgeous facades of the buildings, though, many of which are thought to be some of the most beautiful in the world.
