When scrolling through the plethora of #plantgoals and elegantly rumpled beds on Instagram, it’s sometimes hard to distinguish who posted what. In other words: When everything starts to look the same, it becomes, well, boring. Below, six design-centric Instagram accounts that are anything but—and that never fail to inspire when you need a quick aesthetic pick-me-up.
@mrorlandosoriaThe Los Angeles-based creative director and premier designer at Homepolish has a feed that reads half personal (and very funny) diary, half interior design magazine. Skewing mid-century modern in aesthetic, Orlando Soria’s work is covetable and liveable, all at once. Plus, his commentary and captions are on point—and with clients like Kelly Oxford and Whitney Port, you’re bound to see a famous-faced L.A. cameo every once in awhile.
@kellybehunstudioRecently tapped to design the model apartment at 432 Park Avenue (Manhattan’s infamous, skyline-altering Rafael Viñoly project), Kelly Behun’s Instagram is a coterie of modern design inspiration filled with gorgeous, futuristic images. Reminiscent of interior designer Courtney Applebaum’s eclectic, curated ode to minimalism at The Row on Melrose Place, Behun shares a mix of both portfolio images as well as striking rooms, objects, and the work of favorite artists.
@pencilandpapercoGen and Benjamin Sohr are the quirky cool couple behind Pencil and Paper Co., a Nashville-based interior design team with over 70,000 followers on Instagram. The former global brand executives for Gap and Victoria’s Secret have worked on projects ranging from Reese Witherspoon’s flagship Draper James store to home renovations and brand launches. Their kitschy, color-filled, gorgeously edited account is picture perfect, but never contrived; credit that Southern hospitality.
@sarahbartholomewdesignThis born and bred Virginia native and BFF of fellow designer Mark D. Sikes provides major classic inspiration on her blue and white filled account. Traditional homes with a twist make up the majority of her feed, with guest appearances from her adorable children and dog. Plus, plenty of gorgeous historic white houses with black shutters and brick with ivy abound.
@studiomcgeeAnother husband and wife team, Syd and Shea McGee are a Utah-based interior design duo who packs a bright punch to your Instagram feed. A clean palette mixed with interesting patterns and a tailored aesthetic make for a signature, easily identifiable style. They also have a great story: Taking what was once a small business for a stay-at-home mom, the duo became an interior design powerhouse by working together, grabbing attention from House Beautiful, Apartment Therapy, and One Kings Lane—to name a few—along the way.
@haleyweidenbaumL.A.-based Homepolish designer Haley Weidenbaum’s spaces embody what boho dreams are made of—California sunlight and fiddle leaf figs included. With each unique piece tagged in every post, you’re bound to find some serious interior design inspo here, plus enough Cali vibes to make you want to move across the country.
