How to make your Home more Instagrammable
Your home is your haven. After working hard to create your own style and decorate your rooms; naturally you will want to show it off to the world. When it comes to social media, many users want to feature your stunning abode in their grid. With interiors, there are several ways to create an Insta-worthy moment. From enviable furniture to artistic accessories and homeware, Cousins have got you covered to help create your picture-perfect Instagrammable shot.
Make a Statement
According to Brandwatch, over 60% of Instagram users log in daily. With such an engaged audience, it is crucial that every image makes a statement. Images of homes are no different. With a central focus, your audience will be captivated. The Vidal and Delamare sofa both make a true statement with their stylish, contemporary design.
Vidal is tailored in soft tactile velvet with sophisticated mid-century buttoned detailing and gold accents. This seating choice, available as a 2 seater and 3 seater sofa, is very on-trend and adds drama, especially when juxtaposed with a dark wall. Twinned with a statement rug such as our Xylo studded cowhide and a potted plant, your image will ooze sophistication. Delamare is a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic chesterfield design. Neatly upholstered in luxurious semi aniline leather, your home will be a fashionable setting.
Pop some Colour
If you want to catch attention on a feed filled with other images, or just simply want your room to stand out, a pop of colour never goes amiss. The Frankie cornergroup is part of the Cousins Bespoke range. The contemporary, understated design with deep-seated comfort appeal is brightened up with colour in the form of cushions and other soft furnishings. This is a practical approach for a rental property if you don’t want to be too daring with your colour scheme.
Mix Modern with Traditional
Generate a talking point with your Insta photo and mix modern trends with traditional styles. This will create a talking point for your audience. Opting for a classic Chesterfield will give you a photo opportunity from every angle. The Crescendo 4 seater Chesterfield is a modern twist on a mid-century vintage classic. Neatly upholstered in luxurious velvet with heritage hand tufted buttoning, this is a strong focal point. The muted colours plus gold accents combine to create impact without being too strong.
You could also create a cosy corner; complete the York accent chair by the fire with one of our soft rugs, such as the natural faux sheepskin. This traditional York tub style chair is upholstered in a statement fabric, suitable for any media feed. Provide a dramatic backdrop for your contemporary and modern mix with stand-out wallpaper.
Banish Bare Walls
One way to ensure your home is more instagrammable, regardless of room, is to fill blank wall space. A big canvas, such as Oasis, when pitted against smaller furniture can make a big impact. Oasis is a hand-painted art canvas print in a contemporary floating champagne frame. Artistic and unique, a print like this will look theatrical in an image that shows off the overall room.
Cousins photographer and stylist James advises: “Abstract art is popular as texture, pattern and colour can set the tone for a room.
“This ties the space together with other pieces of furniture and soft furnishings.”
Another classic Chesterfield, the Warwick boasts sumptuous deep buttoned upholstery with hand tacked stud detailing and soft fabric. To complete the aesthetic, make a statement with a bold wall colour. Adding interesting wall art against a bright shade often works well. Linking the wall colour or paper in with soft furnishings can bring the room together. A popular idea is to show art work in multiple frames as a gallery, such as our collection of parrots.
Add Personality
When thinking about social media, it is important not to lose your personality. Designing your home to reflect your personal style is key and this can be done simply by adding occasional accent pieces to your furniture. The Stapleford range, with its highboard and coffee table, can provide your home with a much-needed element of uniqueness. Contemporary and stylish, the pieces are crafted from warm solid acacia wood and incorporate attractive hexagon parquet detailing. This makes a true designer statement, especially with the addition of the quirky, brass hexagon handles.
At Cousins, our experts are always available to help. With a huge selection of furniture and accessories to choose from, you will be sure to find something in-store or online to enhance both your home and your beloved Instagram account. With quick delivery, you can have pieces in your home when you need them.
