For the many who once relied predominantly on monthly magazines for interior design inspiration — who pored over pages with steadfast focus and a thorough eye in advance of the weeks-long hiatus before the next issue — social media is something of a revelation. Thanks to platforms like Instagram and Pinterest, inspiration is not only available instantly, it’s also available constantly, in immense quantities, replenishing without end.
Wonderful as this is, the scope and scale of what’s out there can also be overwhelming. So to help navigate, we’ve selected 20 Instagram and Pinterest feeds to follow for all the best in interior design. True to the Etsy spirit, they’re unquestionably unique, consistently creative, always and altogether inspiring.
1. Anne Sage
Anne Sage, author of the book Sage Living: Decorate for the Life You Want, provides plenty of inspiration to do just that. Peruse thousands of pins in categories like “Windows + Doors” and “Reading Rooms + Libraries,” and get started stat.
2. Mudpuppy

While all of ceramicist (and Etsy shop owner) Mike McDowell’s 44 Pinterest boards are well worth a view, “Hand Made Home” — which pairs images of soothing spaces with those of handmade decor — is a gem on its own.
3. Laure Joliet
A photographer with a focus on “living things and lived-in spaces,” Laure Joliet produces interior imagery for clients including The New York Times, T Magazine, Freunde von Freunden, and more.
4. Brian Paquette
Seattle-based interior designer Brian Paquette shares glimpses into past projects and those still in progress; through it all, his friendly spirit shines through. (“I’ll probably hug you when we meet,” his bio reads.)
5. The Design Files
Curated by Lucy Feagins, The Design Files Pinterest account boasts 38 boards rife with daydream-worthy content (not a shock coming from the editor of one of Australia’s most beloved blogs).
6. Studio Jake
Interior designer Jake Harrison pins a patchwork of art and interiors, destinations and finest design details. (Especially stunning: his “spectrum” series, which organizes decorative delights by color.)
7. Kate Arends
These days, you’d be hard-pressed to come across an article about design inspiration that doesn’t include a nod to Minneapolis-based Kate Arends. Her site, Wit + Delight, reaches a million fans each day; her Instagram is the picture of unpretentious polish.
8. Jersey Ice Cream Co.
Though devoid of the desserts its name suggests, Jersey Ice Cream Co.’s Instagram feed is full of tasteful indulgences of a different sort. Dig in, devour, and design away.
9. Sibella Court
Those with wanderlust, be warned: You may experience the urge to book a plane ticket after scrolling through stylist Sibella Court’s Instagram. Awash in tranquil hues and images of the ocean, it gives followers the impression of being far away — in the best way.
10. Cotton and Flax
Across a dozen or so interior-themed boards, Erin Dollar compiles spaces that would make ideal backdrops for the playful textile goods (like dotted drink coasters and geometric patchwork pillows) that she sells under her own label, Cotton and Flax.
11. Homepolish
Having expanded to 13 cities since its launch in 2012, Homepolish (which offers interior design services by the hour) fills its Instagram with images from finished spaces nationwide.
12. Benjamin Vandiver
Nashville’s Benjamin Vandiver combines snaps of his work with inspiration from a variety of select sources to create a thoughtful feed that’s stately, but never stuffy.
13. Sfgirlbybay
Victoria Smith’s eye for a modern bohemian aesthetic attracts over half a million visitors to her blog per month. Her Pinterest account, with entire boards devoted to floors and frames, bar carts and butterfly chairs, reflects the same free-spirited sophistication.
14. Hurd & Honey
It’s no surprise that wood furnishings factor heavily into the “Home” board curated by this Dallas-based husband-and-wife team, who specialize in reclaimed-frame mirrors, chalkboards, shelving and more; the understated and impactful color palettes and accessories they collect on top of it all are an added bonus.
15. My Paradissi
Luxuriate in the light of Cretan designer and architect Eleni Psyllaki’s sun-splashed feed, a bright blend of sea, sky, and scintillating spaces.
16. Morgan Satterfield
Designer Morgan Satterfield draws on her “desert dweller” lifestyle to fill 20 boards (including a collection of exquisite exteriors) with an airy, no-fuss elegance that’s unequivocally California.
17. Fellow Resident
With a focus on both lives and living spaces, Fellow Resident publishes profiles on modern gay men that allow readers a look into an eclectic selection of dynamic dwellings, from London to Los Angeles (and beyond).
18. Lonny Magazine
Stuck in a design rut? Let Lonny come to your rescue with 86 boards devoted to floor-to-ceiling inspiration.
19. Emily Katz
Macramé fans, look no further. Emily Katz delivers scores of textile-rich shots, infused with the warmth of the west.
20. MyDomaine
Start scrolling through MyDomaine’s picture-perfect Instagram and you may just find it’s near impossible to stop. With a variety of interiors that suit numberless styles, it’s brimming with life — and chock-full of chic.

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Katy Allgeyer from ArtBarn said 5 years ago
Your list is cool. The one great thing about having a neutral or white themed home (as most of these pics seem to indicate is the trend) is that it's the perfect canvas for adding a dash of serious color to. By mixing in a brightly colored Global Village textile or pillow cushion or wall piece you can make a statement that can be circulated with the seasons. Bright and cheery or more autumnal tones.
Faith and Chris from Tramake said 5 years ago

Dorothy from JewelrybyDorothy said 5 years ago
Lovely collections!
Jeanne B from PruAtelier said 5 years ago
Some interesting looks there! My taste lately is white, to give me a lot of light that I don't have now, and Old World rustic with ruins, which gives character and identity. Throw in a lot of wonderful plants and greenery... textiles....French toiles, boutis quilts, a couple dogs and cats and the fix is in!

veronica m from spremutadipois said 4 years ago
Bella selezione! Grazie
Carol from MasCollected said 4 years ago
Thank you for these inspiring selections. Especially appreciate the saturated tones found at Hurd & Honey and at Morgan Satterfield. The natural world is awash in color and while we love white, it looks best with a pop of color. For us, social media on design is the amazing descendant of print media; many of the magazines that inspired us for decades have a fantastic online presence. More importantly, they regularly feature design elements found on Etsy! We look forward to a post showing Etsy returning the favor!
Mona Sweet from MonaCrochetdoll said 4 years ago

S. from SpletOut said 4 years ago

Katy Allgeyer from ArtBarn said 4 years ago
I smiled when I saw your opening pic because High Point Furniture Market spring 2016 was ALL about the geodes...from lamps with crystal geode bases to prints of geodes on velvet cushions.
