Interior design DIY on instagram with 'novice' and not so 'novice' designers has a compelling following. Whether you are looking for tips or you are just an avid follower who likes to see there progress: there is no denying that they have the interior junkies like myself hooked! Here is a collection of people you need to be following to see there amazing creations and the abilities that would put the trades to shame! Who says you need a massive budget when you can follow their lead and do it yourself and get that designer look for less.
Jayne is first on my list as she never seems to stop! Her design aesthetic is often monochromatic with an accent colour (like pale pink or teal). Every week she has a new unreal project or hack that she is working on in her stunning monochrome home. We are talking large scale designs like turning a room into an indoor jungle gym for her children with slides, a raised walkway and a HUGE ball-pit. What's great is she will talk you through her step by step on how to do a project via her new blog as well as in her insta stories. I promise it is all very compulsive. There is also an added bonus: Jayne loves a project and she often redecorates and pops her older items she doesn't require anymore on her instagram selling page. Jayne is deffo worth a follow for her un wavering DIY skills, her ability to knock out major projects super quickly and of course her fun and monochromatic designs.
Daniela is an interior designer who was the winner of season 4 The Great Interior Design Challenge and gives sneak peeks of her amazing creations for her clients BUT she is also an avid DIYer. From her 'crittall window' hack to her entire family room make-over just before Christmas which I was following super closely! She has a super high-end feel that mixes her designer pieces with cheaper more affordable items including up cycled or 'made' creations. She legit plastered a table to get the style she wanted! Her instagram is full of tips on how to achieve her aesthetic to her wardrobe choice (which are amazing BTW) and she also owns a shop - Unplanned Store.
Known online as Lust Living, Olivia is juggling interiors and lifestyle posting with being a new mummy. One of the major pieces that Olivia created was a console table/desk that is almost identical to a very high end expensive Ferm Living one for a FRACTION of the price. She documented the creation on her account and her blog and it sparked a flurry of people all achieving her look for less. It is on my 'to do list' when I ever get the motivation to create something. Her home in the last year has undergone a garage conversion and knocking through rooms to achieve a huge kitchen dining space. All very addictive following.
Hazel is a fellow Scot living in the UAE who has filled her home with amazing pieces she has 'hacked' - from simple painting of vases to creating furniture. She gives a blow by blow of how she achieved her super cool style, and its affordable which is the best part. I may add that in the UAE it is very unusual to perform any sort of DIY: most people get a handyman to do it for them. Her love of boho-luxe is everywhere, and she is renting (again the norm here) making it great following for fellow renters. Showing you how to make your house a home without losing your deposit!
