Apart from making it your own, you also want to make it look beautiful and Instagram ready. These simple and easy tricks will help you decorate your home like any Instagram pro would.

Get the right lights

Any interior decorator or Instagram influencer will tell you that having the right lighting in photos and your home can make a huge difference. In pictures, light plays many roles, it keeps the room illuminated, sets the right ambience, and the variety of light fixtures you have can change the way your home looks. The more unique, and trendy, your lights are, the better they will look on Instagram.

No Messy rooms, please!

No matter which Instagram influencer you follow, the one thing you will notice is that the room will look neat and clean. When looking at a picture your eyes need something to focus on, in a messy room that’s not possible because there is too much going on. This is why most Instagrammers will ensure that they frame their pictures so that the object that is most important, gets all the attention. Getting proper storage space, colourful or stylish storage boxes and bins can do wonders for the look of your home.

Choose the right colours

If you love taking plenty of pictures for Instagram, then having a nice neutral colour for your walls is a great idea. A colour like white or cream makes for great backgrounds for any furniture or artefacts that you want to post on Instagram. White always gives off a very clean yet breezy feel, and this paired with white curtains and minimalistic furniture will help you get loads of likes. If you love certain filters on Instagram, you can even use these hues as inspiration for your walls.

Stop being Shelf-ish

Shelves are most often kept out of view in pictures because they tend to look messy or just have too much going on. When you’re decorating your home, take a hint from the Instagram pros, they have mastered how to show off their shelves. For one, they arrange things by colour or make sure that they stick to a monochrome theme (perhaps with storage boxes). This helps your shelf look organized and more appealing and now you can show the world how they look.

Flowers and furniture  

It’s not always possible to have flowers everywhere and in every room, but keep in mind that flowers add life and fun to any room and any picture. This doesn’t make it a good idea to go overboard like the Flower wall from Kanye to Kim. Balance is key. The same goes for furniture, too much of it can make your pictures look crowded and frumpy. A minimalistic look is best. A way to test how furniture will look in pictures is by just taking pictures of it before you buy it, what looks good in real life might not look great in pictures.
