In the age where a picture is worth a thousand likes, having an Insta-ready home is the new keeping up with the Joneses. But more importantly, a home that always looks amazing is a joy for you to spend time in, and since you probably spend the vast majority of your time at home, especially when relaxing, this is really important!
That being the case, let’s take a look at a few simple things that will instantly make your home look Inta-ready.
1. Professional Painters and Decorators
If there is one single thing you can do that will definitely make your home appear Insta-ready, it is hiring professional painters and decorators to do the work next time you plan to renovate, instead of doing the usual DIY job, which is passable but not perfect. After all, a fresh coat of paint in a trendy colour can completely transform a room, but it’s totally amazing what a difference crisp edges and no paint splatters on the ceiling can make. Plus, they can do it without getting paint in their hair, which is a skill in itself.
2. Statement Pieces: The Attention-Grabbers
Every Instagrammable room needs a statement piece or two that instantly draws the eye and makes your quests, or followers, of course, think “WOW!” It could be a bold piece of art, a quirky piece of furniture, or a chandelier that looks like it was stolen from a palace as long as it is eye-catching, awesome, and if possible, kind of unexpected.
3. Plants, Plants, and More Plants
Nothing says, “I have my life together” like a well-placed houseplant. They add a pop of colour, and texture, and let’s be honest, they make you look much more environmentally conscious than you might actually be. Whether it’s a towering monstera or a cute little succulent, plants are the ultimate accessory for a living space. Just remember to water them – dead plants are decidedly less Insta-worthy.
4. Throw Pillows: The More, the Merrier
It’s incredible how much personality a few throw pillows can add to a room. Mix and match different textures, patterns, and sizes for a look that says, “I’m effortlessly chic.” Just be prepared for the occasional pillow avalanche when you actually want to sit down.
5. Lighting: Set the Mood
Good lighting is crucial. It’s not just about making your space bright; it’s about creating the right mood. Soft, warm lighting can make a room feel cosy and inviting. And let’s not forget about those trendy Edison bulbs that scream, “I’m so hip it hurts.”
6. Quirky Accessories to Show Your Personality
Your home should reflect your personality, so sprinkle in some quirky accessories. It could be funky coasters, vintage finds, or that weird sculpture you impulsively bought on holiday. These are the touches that make your home uniquely you (and Instagram gold).
7. Smart Storage: Hide the Clutter
Let’s face it, clutter does not make for a good photo. Invest in smart storage solutions that hide away the mess. It’s like your clutter has a secret hideout, and your room instantly looks more put-together.
8. Mirrors: The Great Illusionists
Mirrors are great for making a space look bigger, brighter, and more open. Plus, they’re perfect for those mirror selfies (because if you didn’t take a selfie in your Insta-ready home, did it even happen?).
If having an Insta-ready home is your thing, these ideas will not fail you, providing you take the time to implement them, so what’s keeping you?
