The world of high design can be overwhelming, even for the most sophisticated tastemakers.

But these five Web sites curate the best of the best, helping the interiors-obsessed capture that exact je ne sais quoi — for home, work or holiday.

theapartment.dk

Tina Seidenfaden Busck may run this limited-edition home-furnishings site from an apartment-cum-showroom in Copenhagen, but her aesthetic isn’t all Danish modern. Think bright rugs (from $2,500), vintage benches ($3,360) and Ilse Crawford specialties (plus design consultation services).

Spotlighting home objects and baubles by Italian artisans, like mirrors from Florentine carver Carlo Puccini ($760) and earrings by Venetian goldsmith Sigfrido Cipolato ($1,290), Artemest is the brainchild of Ippolita Rostagno, a NYC-based and Florence-born jewelry designer.

daraartisans.com

After working NYC media jobs and traveling extensively, Dan and Dara Brewster launched DARA, which gathers homemade creations from global artisans. You can snag woven throws from India ($300), pillows from Nepal ($380), vases from Nicaragua ($75) — and help communities around the world.

interiorarchive.com

If you need a glossy photo for your uber-cool lifestyle blog, the Interior Archive offers some of the world’s most beautiful destination and architecture photography (from $125) by masters like Miguel Flores-Vianna and Simon Upton.

Want to try a new home design without hiring a demolition crew? Rent a gem from the Modern House, a British site that specializes in “letting” architecturally significant homes. Choose from a modernist getaway in Barbados (from $8,400/week), a series of cattle sheds in Norfolk, England (from $2,600/week) or a countryside cottage in southern France ($2,500/week). Vive la difference!
