Instagram has become a source of inspiration across all fronts. From food to fashion to art and design, there are hundreds of thousands of accounts to inspire. And while the number of Instagrammers are endless, navigating the saturated platform can be overwhelming. From new-age design influencers to industry veterans, interior design Instagram accounts stimulate a new sense of connection between designers and homeowners, making the entire process more mainstream. Social media is both a creative outlet and a vital way for designers to find and attract new clients.

In the nine years since Instagram hit the App Store, it has become the tool of choice for interior designers and young decorators across the globe. "I've met so many people on Instagram," says Mark D. Sikes, whose preppy, all-American style has earned him 150,000 fans. "It's less polished than a professionally produced design portfolio, but it puts you literally into the hands of the public, showing them who you are and what you love."

A new wave of interior designers are setting the pace with their social-media savvy approach to design, and we've broken down some of our favorite interior designer accounts that everyone should #follow.

2 Malene Barnett

"My philosophy is don't worry about perfection," says Malene Barnett, designer and founder of Black Artists + Designers Guild. "When you get an idea, take action. Just do it, execute quickly, and tweak later." On Barnett's Instagram page, you'll find gorgeous interiors, inspiring art, and an overall sense of empowerment, through the design world and beyond.

8 Ken Fulk

10 Sasha Bikoff

12 Tilton Fenwick

ELLE Decor A-list designers Anne Maxwell Foster and Suysel dePedro Cunningham of Tilton Fenwick run a color-punched instagram account that puts your right in the heart of their designs and inspiration. If you're a pattern junkie who lives for summer palettes, this account is for you.

13 Mark D. Sikes

The L.A.-based designer (featured in our March 2019 issue) with a passion for blue and white has found that posts on gardens and big Federal-and Georgian-style houses garner the most likes. "And never say anything negative," he says.

The San Francisco decorator says naturally lit shots and images of his Westie, Wesley, bump up engagement. An editor, whom he met through Instagram, published his first book last year.

16 Nick Olsen

17 Paloma Contreras

Contreras says she has been hired by Instagram followers, but just as often they want details about the rooms she designs: the wallpaper, fabric, furniture. "I post once a day," she says.

18 Sara Gilbane

"A client resisted the blue-and-orange palette I proposed for her dining room," says Gilbane. So she posted the scheme, it got nearly 500 likes, and her client was sold. "Instagram," she adds, "is a great third opinion."
