If there’s one major contributor to my weekly screen time, it’s the home decor influencers I follow. As a lover of all things home (and a smaller home decor Instagrammer myself), I can literally go down a scroll hole for hours if left unchecked. Instagram largely replaced design magazines and even Pinterest for me, as my first stop for home inspiration.
Between being on IG for more than 10 years, and working as a design editor, I’ve managed to come up with quite a list of home decor Instagrammers I love. So, if you’re looking for IG inspo for your home for the very first time, or you’re just wanting to expand your horizons to new accounts, keep reading, because I’m sharing a whole bunch of my favorite home design influencers on Instagram.
25+ of the Best Home Decor Influencers and Interior Designers for Decorating Inspiration
w Design Collective
Sylists: Annie Desantis
Sara Ronna
Photographer: Jared Kuzia
Builder: Payne Bouchier
Architect: Ann Frances
W Design Collective is one of those accounts I come back to again and again when I want something that feels current but still livable. Their spaces lean clean and tailored, but never cold, with just enough contrast and texture to keep things interesting. If you like a slightly modern take on classic design, this is a good one to follow.
Jean Stoffer might not have a Netflix show, but she does have one on the Magnolia network. The designer, who is best known for her jaw-dropping kitchen designs (definitely one to watch if you’re looking for kitchen inspo!), brings a fresh touch to traditional style and will appeal to anyone with an older home or a love for muted, but saturated colors.
Heidi Caillier
Heidi Caillier’s work leans a little moodier and more eclectic than a lot of what you see on Instagram, which is exactly why I like it. She mixes patterns, color, and vintage pieces in a way that somehow still feels cohesive and livable. If you’re trying to get out of an all-neutral rut, her work is a good place to start.
Jake Arnold
Jake Arnold is known for that very polished, European-inspired look—think plaster walls, curved furniture, and a lot of warm, tonal neutrals. His spaces feel calm and refined, but still approachable. If you like the “quiet luxury” aesthetic that’s everywhere right now, you’ll find plenty of inspiration here.
Salina Maria Home
Salina Maria’s home strikes that balance between minimal and cozy that’s harder to achieve than it looks. Her spaces are clean and neutral, but still feel warm and lived-in, with thoughtful styling and subtle layers. It’s a good follow if you want a simplified look that doesn’t feel stark.
Anna Page
Anna Page’s interiors feel bright, happy, and very approachable. She mixes color and pattern in a way that feels fresh but not overwhelming, and her spaces have a slightly preppy, coastal vibe. If you want your home to feel cheerful and pulled together without taking it too seriously, she’s a great follow.
Home on Broad
Home on Broad is a go-to if you love a classic, Southern-inspired look with a collected feel. There’s a strong focus on antiques, rich wood tones, and traditional details, but it never feels stuffy. It’s a good reminder that timeless design doesn’t have to be boring.
Nickey Kehoe
Nickey Kehoe is one of those studios that designers reference constantly, and once you see their work, it makes sense why. Their spaces are layered, a little eclectic, and full of character, with a strong emphasis on vintage and one-of-a-kind pieces. If you’re trying to move away from a catalog look, this account will push you in the right direction.
Alex Kaehler Design
Alex Kaehler’s work feels colorful, playful, and a little unexpected, but still grounded in classic design principles. She’s not afraid of bold choices, but everything still feels intentional and well-balanced. If you want to experiment more with color and pattern, her portfolio is a solid source of ideas.
Brigette Romanek
Brigette Romanek is a decorated designer whose been named to the Elle Decor A-list, the AD 100, and the 1st Dibs 50. Her tailored, inviting interiors are a study in layering and mixing old and new.
Park & Oak
Suburban Chicago–based Park & Oak has a style that sits somewhere between Studio McGee and Jean Stoffer. Their spaces feel layered, warm, and thoughtfully designed without being overdone. If you’re drawn to soft neutrals, natural textures, and family-friendly spaces that still feel elevated, this is a great account to follow.
Chris Loves Julia
Julia Marcum has grown her blog Chris Loves Julia to more than 1 million Instagram followers and hundreds of thousands of monthly website views, and it’s all thanks to her enviable style. Her current home is a fresh take on traditional (think moody blue-gray paint colors, antiques mixed with modern elements, and lots of wallpaper), but she’s moved around a lot in recent years, so it’s worth a dive through her archives, where she has a more modern primary residence, and a modern-rustic family cabin, too.
Lauren Liess
Lauren Liess (yes, the one from HGTV), operates a full-service design studio out of Virginia, and creates spaces that are warm, stylish, and layered, often with a mix of new and old pieces, and rustic or handmade elements. Her Instagram is full of inspiration, but if you’re looking for more, she also has three best-selling coffee table books.
Jenna Sue Design
Jena Sue documents her own home transformations and DIYs on her blog and Instagram. If you like to take a budget-friendly or DIY approach to your home updates, her account will be full of inspiration.
Max Humphrey
Pacific Northwest-based Max Humphrey has a style that speaks to his home base. It feels sort of like a vintage-camp, a little Americana, a bit masculine, but it’s also fun, funky, and downright gorgeous.
Tiffany Brooks
Tiffany Brooks is known for livable, family-friendly interiors that still manage to pack plenty of style and a touch of glamour. The HGTV host and AD 100 designer isn’t afraid of color or creating a bold moment in a room.
The Fox Group
If you’re looking for luxurious, sophisticated, over-the-top home inspiration, The Fox Group is the place to start. The custom design-build firm in Utah is behind some of the most gorgeous home renovations and room designs you’ll see anywhere.
Becca Interiors
Becca Interiors is owned by a Connecticut-based British designer. Her work has distinct English-cottage charm with a modern touch.
Bless’er House
The Bless’er House blog is filled with budget-friendly interior design ideas, and DIY projects that totally transform a space. Creator Lauren managed to create spaces that look high-end, but feature thrifted decor and affordable furniture and decor mixed with the occasional higher-end piece.
Josh Young Design House
If you love antiques and lots of white, you’ll love Josh Young. He’s a Washington, DC-based artist, but his home is incredibly sophisticated and perfectly curated.
BrePurposed
Bre Bertolini, the blogger behind BrePurposed, has a warm, slightly moody home that’s a touch rustic and a little bit vintage, but also trendy and relevant. She combines cute decor with sturdy upcycled furniture and creative DIY touches that result in an original and budget-friendly family space.
Julie Blanner
Julie Blanner is one of my favorite home decor influencers because her home is beautiful, but it’s also approachable. Her spaces are bright and inviting, but her feed also makes you feel like you could actually achieve a home like hers without spending every waking minute keeping up with home decor trends and DIYing.
Kismet House
Erin Conway of Kismet House has the talent of a designer and the handyman skills of Chip Gaines. The results are a fabulous old home filled with character.
