Whether you’re a perpetual decorator or simply in need of getting your house in order, Instagram can provide endless interior inspiration—and we’ve got a list of must-follows. Whether your style is bohemian, quirky, modern or classic, there’s plenty of inspo to go around. —Madison Hope Veitch
chrissy of harlowe james (@_harlowejames). Ever wondered what it be like to live in Sausalito, California, in a bright and airy apartment full of beautiful, vintage and unique objects? Us, too. Chrissy makes us feel like we can relate to a tiny slice of that and, while her Instagram feed and stories are gorgeous, her blog is a great resource for all things design. She even posts monthly playlists!
orlando soria (@mrorlandosoria). There’s not enough we can say about Orlando. We love him. He’ll often remind us that his name is pronounced “Or-Lahn-do,” which makes a lot more sense when we get to see the occasional cameo of Or-mom-do (his actual mom; she’s the best). His stories are unparallelled and often having us laughing out loud (not just typing “lol”) with a loud exhale. With a unique sense of style, he’s worked with and for so many of the greats: a design partner to Emily Henderson, the creative director for HomePolish … and now his own boss, creating many a magical space. He is a must-follow (you can thank us later!).
rebecca wakefield (@rebecca.wakefield). Rebecca’s feed showcases a wide range of expertise, as she would say, “Designer. Stylist. Londoner. Serial home renovator. Blogger. Mum. Not in that order.” With a background in architecture, she designs amazing spaces that don’t feel pretentious and truly work. She keeps it real in her captions and her stories, and it’s a nice juxtaposition of what we see sometimes in the interior world of flawless spaces—we all know that life can be messy. Plus, who doesn’t love a british accent?
anissa of house seven design (@housesevendesign). This husband-and-wife design team can really do no wrong. They specialize in creating warm, minimal and inviting spaces—and they do it well. With three kids we’re not sure how they find the time to pump out such stylish content, but they do! Don’t be surprised if you feel ready to pack up and move right into their home or one of their projects after scrolling through their feed—we know we definitely did!
le clair decor (@leclairdecor). This Canadian couple has built their business by consistently creating inspiring spaces and curating beautifully designed pieces for all of their projects. Recently they opened up their own shop (@ldshoppe) full of so many of the lust-worthy things you see on their page. Bonus, they ship from and within Canada. That always feels like a treat!
sarah of room for tuesday (@roomfortuesday). While we only just discovered Sarah’s account a few months ago, we’ve truly loved following along with her ever since! She is so positive and energetic on her stories, and she has such a unique style (a modern twist on traditional though, to be fair, we haven’t asked her what she’d say about that!). She’s a great source of inspiration if you love a traditional look but aren’t sure how to appropriate it in a modern way. Sarah and her hubby just moved into a new home after completely gutting and renovating their previous one (it was a stunner!) and are on their way to do the same with this abode. Her blog has a tonne of information; DIYs, before-and-afters, design plans and video tutorials. If you’re looking to tackle a project, love dogs (she’s got two cute ones!) or need some inspo, we highly recommend checking out Sarah’s channels.
kristina lynne (@bykristinalynne). Hailing from Edmonton, Kristina is a founder and interior designer at Kresswell Interiors—but really, she does it all. From running her own Instagram account and blog, she is also a contributor for The Everygirl, a house-flipper and a mom! Her home and her projects feel kind and warm and we can’t help but swoon each time she posts a new pic.
natalie chong (@lovenataliechong). You may recognize this Torontonian from Marlyn Dennis (she’s frequently on her show as a design expert) but, if she’s new to you, Natalie is definitely one to keep an eye on. She’s the founder/principal of Nest Design Studio, which she established in 2009 with one mission: to design for the client and not the designer. Her Instagram doesn’t just include her client projects but also work she does on her own home. We love keeping tabs on her fabulously stylish life!
brady tolbert (@bradytolbert). It’s a total delight to follow along with Brady’s projects and work-life. He recently left his position as CD for Emily Henderson and is now doing the same for Bobby Berk (the interior designer from Queer Eye!). You know when someone just seems like a really nice, down-to-earth, good person? That’s Brady. His personal style is flawless—just take a peek at his home!—but his creative journey and career are also an inspiring thing to keep tabs on.
ashley of scout modern (@scout.modern). If you were to mix the very best of bohemian, modern and vintage with a touch of glam, you’d find Scout Modern. Founder Ashley and her adorable family live in L.A., which makes total sense since you can literally feel the sunshine in every one of her spaces. Naturally, she’s been featured just about everywhere under the sun: Apartment Therapy, Rue Daily, Domino Mag, Lonny, HGTV and more, and we totally understand why. Her feed is a source of “happy”—give it a visit!
