can anyone recommend some fun decorating/interior design websites?

I just want to look at a lot of pretty pictures to get some ideas on wall-paint-shade/color and flooring.

(actual decor sites fine, too!)

lots of ideas for do-it-yourself stuff, and there's a ton to look at.

I was going to suggest this too :)
www.apartmenttherapy.com is one of my favorite sites!

The livejournal community SaucyDwellings is fun to look at, lots of good pictures and ideas.

http://www.colorofinspiration.com/ is neat for looking for colors, you can upload a photo, or see other people's photos and get color ideas.

and there's always http://www.sherwin-williams.com/ with the color visualizer

Sherwin Williams can match most other company's paint chips or any solid color object that you bring in.

Apartment Therapy and the SaucyDwellings community are good, so I second those. Here are a few I have bookmarked:

www.designspongeonline.com (decor, food, decorating, DIYs)

http://poppytalk.blogspot.com/ (cute decor, also have a "design/living" sidebar with tons of great links)

http://www.designspongeonline.com/ is my fav.

I'm not really able to decorate my own place yet, but my friend Beverly is in the process and her two favorite inspirational sites are http://www.wisteria.com/ and http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/.

Have fun! <3

Look up wall decals or vinyl wall art - they look amazing and it is something for the walls that isn't painting. There is a how-to on instructables.com if you want to make your own. I thought you might have fun with it if it inspires you.

Hard not to get inspired by this Flickr set: )

It's really off-beat and focuses more on individual items, but http://design-milk.com/ (http://design-milk.com/) is epic.

Not exactly what you asked for, but wall decals are fun:
