We have a very special place in our hearts for renovation accounts. Watching the journey of a house being turned into a home is fascinating, and we can’t think of anything we’d rather see come to life than a quaint Oxfordshire cottage.

Laura Hunter, a company director and pattern enthusiast, is documenting her renovation on her Instagram account, No Feature Walls, and let us tell you, this is an experience you’ll want to be part of. 

Favouring William Morris wallpaper and vintage-look beds, in many ways Laura pays homage to traditional cottage style. But her reverent use of clashing print, statement tiles and eye-catching art gives her place a modern twist. Plus, she’s got killer style so you’ll probably end up copying her fashion sense, too.

Every picture of Paula Sutton, the digital creator, writer and stylist behind the home account Hill House Vintage, looks like it’s straight out of a magazine. 

Yes, each image has a beautiful composition, using a plethora of colourful flowers and accessories, with a location that will make your knees weak. But what we love most about Sutton’s account is how well-honed her aesthetic is.

True to the account’s name, everything you’ll see here is vintage-inspired, from the period interior design she uses in her country home, to the full-skirted dresses she wears.

Photographer and picture editor Sophie Abbott shares her DIY home journey on her Instagram, posting highlights of each room so that you can pick up tips and try it yourself. 

She’s not afraid to take risks and try interesting techniques like painting her doors deep navy, skirting boards hot pink and half-and-half walls. We also love how she layers similar tones and accessories with pictures and plants. Plus, her sausage dog Gus is very cute.

From rust and burnt orange hues, to terracotta pots holding lush botanicals and fantastic shelf styling, Africa pays attention to the small details to build a concept that has a strong identity. Once you’ve seen a few of her images, you’ll recognise them as soon as they hit your feed.

Plant fiends, this one’s for you. This account really is plants, plants and more plants. From sky scraping living walls in a cityscape, to poky bathrooms decorated with succulents, it’s just greenery as far as the eye can see. None of the images are from interior designers as such, but they do sprout inspiration on how to create a botanical feel at home.

Here you’ll find Sade’s special brand of magic which consists of a whimsical approach to fashion and interior design, with faded colour palettes and lots of flowers and trinkets.

What we love about Sofia of Three Boys and a Pink Bath, is that so much of her account is actual photos of her home in Kent. Not only does it make us feel like, maybe, we could achieve a similar level of fabulousness, but she gives generous coverage of each room so that you can see every detail. 

She really knows how to nail the trends from colour blocking, tiled bathroom flooring to lots of pink – Sofia goes after all of the biggest interior trends and makes them her own.

Lotte isn’t an interior designer, she’s just got bloody great taste. This ASOS Insider, model and podcast co-host, shares inspiration in all forms on her account (her fashion sense is on-point, too) – but we particularly love her ideas on decor. She mixes it up, posting pictures she loves as well as her own efforts, and we’ve fallen hook, line and sinker for her rosy bathroom.
