Eleven UK Interiors and DIY Instagram Accounts to Follow

If you’ve followed me a while you’ll know I am multifaceted - as we all are - and therefore my account reflects that. Whilst the algorithm may reward you for sticking to a niche and I for one ensure 95% of my content is interiors and diy based, there are some things happening in the world that are too important not to speak out about.

If you’re a lover of interiors and diy inspiration but also have a heart for something more substantial too, here are my top recommendations for other Instagram accounts to follow.
