The design Instagram accounts we love to follow

Marc Costa

Marc Costa's Instagram feed is awash with images he sources from around the web, bringing design inspiration from a mostly mid century standpoint.

Paolo Abate

Writer, photographer and art director Paolo Abate gets access to some pretty spectacular locations, from private houses to new hotels, documenting his travels on his feed. Think John Pawson in Italy.

Sarah Watson

As the founder and owner of Balineum – arguably the most lusted-after tiles in the business – Sarah Watson's account is a collage of the historical places that inspire her designs, with her own creations peppered through for us to drool over.

Tat London

Ex-House & Garden stylist Charlie Porter is the gimlet eye behind Tat London, her affordable antiques site. She uses the Tat London Instagram account to share images of houses she loves, designs that catch her eye and give an insight into her taste.

Bible of British Taste

Long-time World of Interiors contributor Ruth Guilding is behind this Instagram account, which offers regular glimpses into the beautiful houses she visits. With a predilection for lived-in, even cluttered interiors, filled with antiques, artworks and paintings, this account rejects perfection and gives you a sense of what it would really be like to live in some of the houses you see in magazines.

Ros Byam Shaw

House & Garden contributor Ros Byam Shaw is one of the most well-respected writers on interiors in the UK today. Her Instagram account is full of shots of her heavenly Devon house, plus interiors and exteriors she comes across on her travels.

Guy Tobin

For architectural detail shots, stimulating artworks and bucolic vistas of the English countryside, look to Guy Tobin, who runs the furniture side of Rose Uniacke's business (and is also the brother of our very own Creative Director of The Calico Club, Emily Tobin).

8 Holland Street

Kensington antique shop and design gallery has a glorious feed, full of shots of their own shop plus interiors stories they have come across elsewhere. It's a great showcase for their impeccable taste, and a delightful way to discover new things.

Alidad

Interior designer Alidad – who is a regular fixture on our Top 100 – is worth following to see detail shots of his opulent, timeless and elegant projects. His work is a constant source of inspiration for many across the design industry and the images he shares can spark daydreams of living in such wonderful spaces.

Eleanor Cording-Booth

Interiors journalist Eleanor Cording-Booth's dispatches from her stylish Barbican flat are always worth keeping up with, interspersed with glimpses into her travels and interesting things spied around the design world.

Studio Shamshiri

As well as sharing images from their own projects – which include the actress Anne Hathaway's glorious LA house – the team at Studio Shamshiri regularly post spaces and details that inspire their own lovely designs.

Kelly Wearstler

From houses to hotels, Kelly Wearstler designs sophisticated spaces that are packed with character. Her Instagram is the same, filled with images of her own creations plus snaps of her seemingly glamorous life across the pond.

The London List

Followed and read by many in the industry, The London List is a digital publication covering interiors, art and culture. The Instagram account is stacked with archive imagery of beautiful spaces that make followers want to rip out their homes and start again.

Nathan Sampson

Archival pictures of gorgeous people, places and buildings galore can be found on New York-based American interior designer Nathan Sampson's account. It's the perfect dose of glamour for your feed.

Adam Bray

For an insight into the mind of a Top 100 interior designer and the everyday objects that can lead to mesmerising rooms, follow Adam.

Matilda Goad

Matilda Goad is a tastemaker and nowhere is this more obvious than through the vignette of her Instagram, where followers see her latest designs, how her house renovation is coming along and get to go along on her many stylish holidays with her.

Ben Pentreath

He's reportedly the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge's interior decorator of choice and he's certainly one of our favourites, filling his feed with enviable snaps of his Dorset house, Scottish bothy and wonderful projects.

Charlie McCormick

For another look at Ben's life, it's worth following his gardener partner Charlie, who regularly shares images of their adorable dogs as well as the mammoth vegetables and award-winning flowers he grows for the county shows.

Sussy Cazalet

Designer and artist Sussy Cazalet is one-to-watch right now and originally caught our eye on Instagram, where she posts what's she working on and the travels that build up a moodboard for her work.

Rachel Chudley

While most interior designers tend to share a finished project via their social media channels, what sets Rachel Chudley – one of our Top 100 and last year's Rising Star – apart is that she often shares sketches and mock ups of designs that are yet to materialise, offering a different look at how the process works.

The Calico Club

Our very own Calico Club opens closed doors within the worlds of interiors, art and culture to its members and the stories shared on the Instagram account offer glimpses into the intimate events that will be taking place across the year.

Robin Lucas

Robin describes himself as an artist, gardener and designer. He's one to follow for shots of his gorgeous Lancashire idyll, both the interior and exterior, as well as his sprawling garden and array of vases of home-grown blooms.

Maxime Fisher

Posting under the handle @beau_traps, Maxime Fisher is another sharer of sleek spaces, archival imagery and artwork, mostly in a soothing palette of neutrals. The account is a calming, chic one to follow.

A good chair

The name says it all: this account is dedicated to good chairs, mostly from across the 20th century. Rediscover designs that have gone out of fashion or use it to look for a new reading nook.
