WE WANT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT WHERE & HOW YOU LIVE! Offbeat Home is about sharing the voice of nontraditional homes and occupants, and so we're always looking for words and photos from folks from a wide range of backgrounds, lifestyles, and experiences.

We don't care how small and humble your home is: we want to hear about it! Get over your home-space insecurity: We seriously don't care if your place is full of mismatched Craigslist finds or hacked Ikea furniture. If you're finding a way to make your space work for you, we want you to be a part of Offbeat Home!

You can submit to us via our site, Flickr, or Pinterest. Read more below…

What kind of posts are we looking for?
Here are some topics we love:

  • Before & After (dramatic overhauls of a room, corner, closet, or outdoor space)
  • DIY (We love how-tos for all sorts of cratsy, at-home projects!)
  • Offbeat Decor Porn (PICTURES!)
  • Great Offbeat Outdoors (The "outdoors" might be a 24'x36' garden or a clutch of terracotta pots in a window box, but these posts cover all things gardening, landscaping and even farming.)
  • Cleaning/Organizing (unique methods for keeping spaces neat and tidy)
  • Food (eating, cooking, baking, recipes!)
  • Advice (need help figuring your stuff out? We love helping offbeat occupants!)
  • Entertaining (parties, hosting guests, etc)
  • It Worked For Me (your personal experiences about what you've learned from your home.)
  • Pets (furry, scaly, winged, offbeat friends)
  • Real Offbeat Home Tours (close-up look at real Offbeat Homes of all shapes, sizes and flavors — we're cool with room tours too, if you only want to share a portion of your home!)
