It’s easy to look around your home and decide it's time for an update. But figuring out what that update should look like, exactly, is an entirely different story. Sometimes the act of deciding on a home decor project can be so overwhelming, it often seems easier to forgo change altogether and keep things as they are. But what’s the fun in that?
Fortunately, Instagram has become a stellar source of inspiration for anyone looking for simple ways to revive and refresh their space.
There are stylish, pared-back designs for the simplicity-loving minimalist; comfortable, cozy spaces for Hygge enthusiasts; and creative designs that will motivate you to hit the nearest plant nursery. The point is, no matter your aesthetic leanings, there are decorative guideposts all over Instagram, and we pulled the very best of the best so you can stop looking for inspiration and start applying it.

Desert themes only for this husband and wife design team based in Joshua Tree, California. They embrace life on arid terrain with interiors that focus on burnt tones and Moroccan design components. Sherbert-colored sunsets and cactus landscape visuals serve as an added bonus, along with photos of the duo’s vintage vehicles. We’re not sure which one we like more–the “Scout” or “Goldie.”

In chandeliers and beautiful blooms we trust. You’ll notice that author, designer, and photographer Courtney Allison really loves sparkly light fixtures and fresh bouquets of flowers in every room! She describes her style as “a little bit shabby and French country with a touch of cottage mixed in.” We’re really into how she mixes rustic elements with more sophisticated items—like placing a gilded french chair beside a rustic table with worn paint.

As its name (citrine) suggests, this account is a gem. Tamara Anka’s use of subtle, luxe details and eclectic patterns with neutrals is truly soothing. All of her rooms are dazzling, but the dining room is the standout with brushstroke artwork, a crystal chandelier, a vintage-inspired rug, and a mismatched grouping of chairs.
