‘Instagrammability’ is the quality of something being photographable and shareable on Instagram, the world’s most popular photo-sharing app.
Making your bedroom more Instagrammable requires only a few small tricks to make it different and unique enough to get shared and liked. You could easily build a following and create a community right from your bedroom!
Let’s get started – here’s how to make your bedroom more Instagrammable:
Statement bed
A look at the most popular bedroom Instagram posts reveals one thing – all of them have a statement bed that makes people jealous.
You see, most people have a regular bed that does the job, but it isn’t something you’d want to show off. Instagrammers have a bed that pops!
You can transform your existing bed with a new headboard and attract attention by switching the headboard every few posts. Alternatively, get an interesting bed frame, like a poster bed or a cute Florence bed frame.
Geek out
Instagram is a place people go to escape reality, so showing off your geeky and obsessive side is always a good way to attract attention.
Whether you love superheroes, Barbie dolls, anime, Gucci or 80s pop, showing off your personality with unique items and displays will offer many photo opportunities, helping you attract niche followers and new fans.
Create displays and murals for your idols, use unique wallpapers and posters and don’t be afraid to show off what makes you unique.
Beautiful bedding
If there’s one thing that makes or breaks the success of an Instagram post in bed, it’s the style and quality of the bedding.
Instagram is a place where people scrutinise everything, so your bedding being beautiful makes a big difference to your posts.
What type of bedding does well? Anything different and unique, like Spiderman bedding (see our geek-out tip) or silk bedding with crystals sewn onto it. The more unique you are, the more interactions your posts will get.
It’s also a good idea to make a layered bed when it’s not in use, so your bed looks cute and you can show off your neat and tidy side.
Use lighting creatively
Your smartphone might have a great camera, but there’s no replacement for superb lighting in photography, Instagram filters included!
If you want to make your bedroom more Instagrammable, install smart lights that you can control with your voice, dimmer switches, light bulbs that can change colour, LED light strips and cool light shades that create warmth.
You open the door to a world of new Instagram posts by giving yourself different lighting opportunities. Inanimate objects will become new subjects for your posts, and your photos will look better than ever with no effort, just a flick of the switch.
Feature walls
Feature walls don’t get enough attention in bedrooms, but they are one of the best ways to create unlimited Instagram opportunities.
It’s easy to make a feature wall – paint or wallpaper one of your walls and stick a piece of art on it. Alternatively, install a TV and speakers to create a media wall.
Feature walls are spaces where you can express yourself. Try making a vibrant statement with bright, contrasting colours, or paint something unique yourself. You can get stencils to paint perfect flowers, shapes and figures.
Use layers of texture.
One of the biggest mistakes Instagrammers make in their bedroom is using only one or two textures. The problem is that it creates flat photos that always look the same, with little interest in the subject.
Play with velvet, wool, tweed, denim, leather and felt. Try using shaggy rugs to contrast against wooden cabinets, matte furniture against mirrors, and cushion cases in a thick weave to differentiate against smooth chairs.
The most successful Instagrammers use layers of texture to make their photos pop, and the best part is lots of textures will make your bedroom more beautiful.
