Thanks to its visual focus, Instagram is a natural platform for interior design, designers and design enthusiasts. It has become the go-to social media app to look for inspiration and like minds. If there’s a style you like, there’s an Instagram hashtag for you to explore. Besides being a natural source for ideas, it’s also a natural on-line venue to connect with people whose work you admire when it’s time for a renovation or decor update.
Even better, most design accounts include plenty of posts that give you a taste of the personality of the design profession or even project a certain type of lifestyle. While it’s easy to find accounts to follow, we’ve picked 25 must-follow Instagrammers if you want to stay abreast of the latest in interior design.
@nicolocastellinibaldissera
Colorful and lush, Italian interior designer Nicolo Castellini Baldissera’s feed is full of gorgeous images from his home in Tangiers as well as the homes of friends and clients. The exotic and maximalist images convey a relaxed feeling and are never stuffy. Baldissera comes from a line of renowned architects so great design is essentially in his DNA, and it shows in the shots of his expertly crafted spaces – and gardens. Those who love what they see can shop for furniture made by Italian and Moroccan craftsmen at @casa.tosca, where he is creative director.
@camillaguinness
Camilla Guinness is a British designer known for her eclectic spaces that mix elements of drama and glamour with traditional English style. Whether from her UK residence or her restored Tuscan farmhouse, the images she presents are unique and full of inspiration for stylish but very achievable living spaces. The New York Times noted that Guiness is a darling among “an inner circle of bohemian Brits” and it’s easy to see why in her laid back feed that eschews minimalist perfection and focuses on a relaxed and totally livable style.
@mynordicroom
For lovers of the clean, uncluttered Scandinavian aesthetic, the @mynordicroom is a must-follow Instagram account. The Copenhagen-based feed features all kids of rooms that are relaxed and very inspirational for today’s lifestyles. Family-friendly spaces are largely neutral with a pop of pastels here and there. Form and function blend seamlessly in every single space. Nothing feels contrived and all the rooms are very welcoming, from the overall design to the accent décor.
@britdotdesign
Self-described as not your basic DIY, @britdotdesign’s account features the serene interiors of her own home that have a “desert deco” vibe, despite the fact that she lives in the Midwest. She calls her home her canvas and for good reason: The beautiful rooms were previously a sorely neglected ranch-style house. The results of the transformation are gorgeous: Casual, refined, unfussy and perfectly coordinated. Even if you’re not a DIY enthusiast, browsing through her creative projects is so inspiring! By the way, she makes her own furniture too.
@imperfectinteriors
Elegant interiors of all sorts, peppered with a sprinkling of drool-worthy outdoor spaces and vistas make up the Imperfect Interiors feed. This London-based designer creates rooms that have personality and comfort at their core. “Because who wants to live in a soulless showroom?” is the guiding mantra for her design and Beth Dadswell carries that out to perfection. The designs look so effortless – even though we all know that’s generally never the path to such beautiful rooms.
@candacemaryinteriors
Stylish, modern and never overdone, the spaces highlighted in the Candace Mary Interiors account look totally livable. The designer is based in Chicago and Detroit and also runs a staging service. She creates rooms that are largely neutral but not too safe and highlight loads of texture. There are plenty of distinctive elements to give the space personality and flair!
@deecampling
Take a boho vibe, mix in a little Scandinavian aesthetic and maybe even a little touch of rustic farmhouse and you’ll love Dee Campling’s Instagram feed. The well-known UK-design influencer creates inspiring rooms: They are totally accessible and nothing like what you might expect for an “English” interior, as her own home demonstrates. Plenty of plants, comfortable furnishings and always a touch of the unexpected yield plenty of inspiration. Campling was also highlighted for designing the Best of Houzz UK 2021.
@markdsikes_interiors
If your taste tends to run toward the traditional end of the spectrum of American décor, Mark D. Sikes Interiors’ feed has gorgeously inspirational rooms. From distinctive traditional bedroom designs, to living spaces that are slightly more transitional, there’s something for everyone. Sikes is also known for his book More Beautiful: All-American Decoration as well as his penchant for blue and white décor. This account is truly “in service to beauty.”

@hillhousevintage
Another city-to-country transplant with an entirely different focus is Paula Sutton and her @hillhousevintage account.

@joannagaines

The London-based agency sells beautiful homes across the UK, which gives them entree into many types of stylish abodes.
