15 Instagram Accounts To Follow For Interior-Design Envy
From renovations to reclamations, ceramics to curiosities, discover the best design-focused Instagram accounts that are sure to send your bookmark folder into overdrive. By OLIVE WAKEFIELD
Georgie Stogdon
Three years spent assisting Rose Uniacke – the pioneer of pared-back luxury – helped shape interior designer Georgie Stogdon’s signature restrained yet soulful aesthetic. A scroll through her feed is an antidote to the frenzied maximalism of other design studios. There is not one clashing print in sight. Instead, you can expect to disappear into a peaceful world of cream-colored, cocoon-like rooms complete with freestanding baths, Gustavian furniture and 17th-century pastoral wall tapestries – so simple and yet so sumptuous. @georgie.stogdon
Geremia Design
Since its inception in 2015, Geremia Design has become a quiet icon of West Coast cool. Under founder Lauren Geremia – whose background in fine art is felt in every project – each of their spaces is an effortless brew of references. Follow for a masterclass in mixing and matching; where Brutalist sculptural furniture, painterly murals, stripped-back furnishings and elaborate prints all mingle. @geremia_design
Marta de la Rica
Madrid-based designer Marta de la Rica brings an instinctive elegance to spaces defined by color, texture and cultural memory. Her feed reveals interiors enriched with vintage discoveries, artisanal craftsmanship and a confident interplay of proportion and palette. Expect unexpected pairings, artistic compositions and an unmistakable Iberian romanticism for warm, lived-in sophistication. @martadelarica
Fairfax Jones
Helmed by design duo Caroline Fairfax and Louise Jones, Fairfax Jones creates interiors where classic British charm meets a fresh, modern sensibility. Their spaces blend well-loved antiques, beautifully made upholstery and calm, tonal color palettes to striking effect – and they honor a building’s original features while adding interest through textured fabrics, unique furniture and thoughtful details. The result is elegant, character-filled rooms that feel refined rather than showy. Expect inspiring examples of layered, quietly luxurious design. @fairfax_jones
Cabana
No one does maximalism quite like Cabana. Indeed, founder Martina Mondadori is the high priest of ‘eclectic-chic’, drawing on vintage designs from her travels the world over, to glean her spectacularly singular style. Hit follow on the Cabana account for the maximalist mood-board of dreams – prints on top of prints on top of prints, color explosions and flamboyant fabrics aplenty. And, should you want to recreate any of these looks at home, her line of tableware is the perfect starting point. @cabanamagazine
Broadwick Soho
It is always a great thrill when the worlds of interiors and hospitality collide, and the Broadwick Soho hotel is no exception. Iconic interior designer Martin Brudnizki, along with creative director Andrea Gelardin, are the brains behind each flamboyant corner – behold lacquered walls hung with Warhols, leopard-print club chairs and mirrored ceilings, as seen in its opulent Italian eatery, Dear Jackie. Broadwick Soho is an art-deco disco dive that references everything from Studio 54 to Marie Antoinette – and any maximalists-in-the-making should tune in to its vibrant Instagram feed for no end of inspiration. @broadwicksoho
Stella Weatherall
It’s been just three years since Stella Weatherall hard-launched her interior-design studio (following stints at Firmdale Hotels and Flora Soames), but her bright and bold schemes have scooped up a cult following that goes far beyond the feed. Follow for a playful pick ’n’ mix of patterns and textures – and the designer’s expertise at reimagining spaces with considered planning and bold, layered schemes. @stella_weatherall
Buchanan Studio
You can spot Angus and Charlotte Buchanan’s irreverent designs a mile off. Indeed, their London home almost broke the internet with its rhubarb-and-custard-colored tiled bathroom and walk-in pantry. Having honed their skills working for high-fashion brands, the pair have since brought their eclectic references to residential and commercial clients all over the world. Follow for up-close details of all their suitably singular spaces, including the home of Charlotte and Philip Colbert – a surrealist marvel complete with lobster-shaped hardware and a bespoke velvet-beveled bar – a space guaranteed to delight and surprise. @buchanan.studio
Eagle & Hodges
Creative director Alex Eagle is the design eye behind some of the chicest spots around and, together with her long-term collaborator Sophie Hodges, has fast become the go-to designer for the It-crowd. Tune in for unexpected style quirks, such as chinoiserie paneling paired with abstract art and modernist chairs by Pierre Jeanneret (as seen at their masterpiece-of-a-project Oakley Court), and, of course, the fabulously retro accents at 180 Health Club, which have been shared and re-shared far and wide. @eagle.hodges
Maximilian Hurd
Look no further than designer Max Hurd’s opulent Instagram account for a masterclass in maximalism. The self-confessed dandy has left no corner of his London pad unadorned, with trinkets, objets and supersized artworks dripping from every jewel-toned wall, which he co-designed with long-term collaborator Benedict Foley. Follow him for one big, dazzling smorgasbord of clashing prints and vintage finds that reference everything from Oscar Wilde to Brazilian bordellos. @maximilianhurd
Rachel Chudley
No one masters color and texture quite like London-based designer Rachel Chudley. Her creations tip over into the realm of fine art, with intricate murals, marbles and captivating paintings in every space. Chudley’s clients – rock stars and actors among them – have been known to cry with joy at their room reveals. @rachelchudley
Pieces
This thoroughly eclectic curation of interiors, arts and culture is the antidote to any scroll slump you may find yourself in. From David Hockney’s Crayola-colored LA bungalow to chef Laila Gohar’s airy New York loft, Pieces has collected beautiful rooms around the world and created the ultimate interiors mood board. @pieceslondon_
Barlow & Barlow
Barlow & Barlow design studio has a knack for trailblazing a trend – just look at one of its recent projects, Kin House, for proof. The Fermoie fabric-wrapped bath and blush pink, squiggle-tiled bathroom (which recently lit up social media) is just the tip of the iceberg in this vast portfolio of playful designs – all with viral potential. Follow for a masterclass on how to pull off florals, scallops and pelmets without things getting too chintzy. @barlowandbarlow
Hope + Hughes
This glorious account is proof that living in a period property doesn’t have to be all florals and frills. Hope + Hughes’ Eirwen Oxley Green knows a thing or two about renovations – this apartment is her ninth – and the journalist-turned-interior-designer’s expertise can be felt in every corner of her exquisite home (as well of that of her clients). Enjoy glimpses of her statement tiled floors, heavenly walk-in larder, marble-topped Shaker kitchen and wisteria-wrapped courtyard. @hopeandhughes
Sister by Studio Ashby
Every room in your house is crying out for this collection of wildly covetable vintageware and bespoke furniture from supernova style-setter Sophie Ashby – founder of her eponymous award-winning design powerhouse.
