Popular decor items
When planning to decorate your space, you usually wonder where to buy home decor. But the most popular interior items are sold at every turn - paintings, watches, mirrors, designer lamps, decorative dishes.
Hand-made carpets look unusual. For example, paths with an ethnic pattern are suitable for Provence, loft.
Other home decor ideas:
- wicker baskets - made of wicker, paper;
- flowerpot;
- pillows;
- photo frames;
- boxes for small items.
If you have limited decorating skills, it is preferable to work with small objects. It’s worth creating large original things once you gain experience. It is preferable to start familiarizing yourself with new techniques on small areas.
Suitable decorating techniques
In the photo of home decor, flowers stand out - not necessarily real ones. Compositions made from specially dried plants look no less interesting. Oriental ikebana and bonsai look stylish.
Other techniques include:
- macrame - this technique allows you to get functional things (pots, curtains);
- patchwork - textiles made from patches that combine with country, boho, and eclectic styles;
- knitting and embroidery - it is important that the finished product is removable;
- felting - such decorative items soften any environment;
- quilling - the ability to create paper paintings;
- decoupage - this technique is used to decorate walls, furniture, and accessories.
It is important that homemade decorations match the style of the room. After all, for example, a bright patchwork rug may look awkward in a high-tech or minimalist style. But if the color scheme is combined with the rest of the texture, such a path can become the highlight of the interior.
Home ideas
When the weather outside is unpleasant and cloudy, you should use one of the Instagram photo ideas at home.
Many users go to Insta in the morning to wake up and scroll through their feed. It makes sense to create an image of small objects for a photograph, for example, a cup of coffee or kefir at a table, in the dawn twilight.
If the coffee smells even through the screen, then it's perfect.
It's worth showing your Instagram readers that mornings can be almost magical. Another eye-catching gesture is the view from the window at dawn.
Who doesn't want to wake up to the sound of the sea?
Sometimes it's worth taking a shot like this. He may not be very professional. The main thing is that he is emotional and vital. It is more important to show life and movement, even if it is imperfect, because many of us are always in a hurry somewhere and forget to look around, being late along the memorized route.
You can even stretch attractively
Such simple shots attract attention. These are not polished pictures with perfect retouching, but bright moments from everyday life.
If you are used to posting snippets of your life on Instagram and have a blog, you can try one of these home photo ideas for Instagram:
- Selfie . Even though some critics say this type of publishing is outdated, bloggers continue to use it. The point is that personalizing any page increases its conversion. It’s easier for users to trust a person rather than a faceless account.
Just one detail made the frame unusual, without registration and SMS
With animals . Cute dogs, cats, ferrets, weasels and even hamsters receive a huge number of likes. How can you resist clicking on the heart when there is such a funny little fluffy little thing? You can also create a photo in action - take a shot when your pet is interfering with your work or laying down on the keyboard. The animal's playful or lazy mood is conveyed through the screen.
Of course, the cat plays the main role in the family.
- Books, magazines, a cozy blanket on the sofa . You can share pages or the cover of the publication you are currently reading. It would be ideal if you can provoke a heated discussion under such a post.
A favorite book in a pleasant environment is always a winner.
Of course, ideas for home photos on Instagram don’t end there. You can always take an unusual photo:
- Plain walls . It shows a character who takes up most of the photo, and nothing else superfluous, no distracting details. The main thing is to put on clothes beforehand so that they stand out.
When clothes match the wall in the background, it also sometimes looks interesting
- Static or movement . Two opposite actions. You can stand still or, on the contrary, show that something is happening in the frame. In this case, a bright hat or a funny T-shirt will come in handy, and you can also come up with another small accent for Instagram.
At any time of the year, glasses are in style
- Playing with shadows . They are drawn especially well before dusk or immediately after dawn. The object in the photo is played out, adjusted to the shadow. In this case, the shadow can fall on the face or body, on a product or just a cup of coffee.
A little thoughtfulness and shadows will create a mysterious image
- Working atmosphere . Instagram followers are often curious about how their idol works. It can be a harmonious mess or, on the contrary, clean, well-groomed surfaces. Popular people quite often show their Instagram followers how they work and do not hide their workspace. It's like a piece of something personal that increases trust.
Cool ideas for photos on Instagram - creating a working atmosphere is not difficult
- Lists and notes . Another interesting Instagram photo idea for those who have beautiful handwriting and interesting things planned. Write on a piece of paper what you will do and play it out in the composition. Advertising fits organically into this format.
Plans, tasks, lists... Everyone loves lists
- Antiques . If a person earns money by writing articles, it’s worth finding a typewriter and making a few humorous shots about the fact that the delivery speed has been reduced due to the new gadget. Compositions with beautiful rare objects look great with the right clothes.
Vintage interior details and objects add charm to any photo.
- Old (or new) printed photographs . A great way to draw attention to a page is to show memories. You just need to hang them up or lay them out on the table, and in the description under the Instagram post, tell a story about those on film.
Polaroid photographs remain popular even after decades. Who doesn't like looking at old photos?
Creating external decor using the example of New Year's decorations
Decoration begins with the decoration of the facade of the house. The style of decoration can be fabulous (a complete composition with the main characters of the New Year), elegant chic (natural elements, the main shade is complemented by two others), modern (meaningful attributes for the family, bold color combinations). The classic combination is the traditional color palette (red, green and white).
Design options:
- “decoration” with tinsel, various New Year attributes and lights;
- large flowerpots or pots with Christmas trees, a Christmas wreath, bells;
- LED garlands wrapping around columns and porch steps.
You should sketch out a detailed design map in advance. Shades are indicated using colored pencils. LED garlands are used to illuminate the building - preferably along the contour of the roof and protruding parts of the facade, window and door openings.
The chosen LED color should gently complement the main shade of the house - contrast is not desirable.
Modern interior: color as the starting point of design. Photos with decor options
The main idea of 2021 design: break stereotypes and express emotions! Ignore modern interior trends and be unique!
Calm beige, milky, creamy, neutral white, champagne - these colors fade into the background. In fashion:
- fuchsia;
- lilac;
- coral;
- terracotta;
- royal lilac;
- shades of blue;
- bold green.
White color is used only in contrast with:
- dark gray;
- graphite;
- Bordeaux;
- chocolate.
The combination of “black and white” also remains relevant. Here are examples of photos from our Dekorin team, where a modern bathroom is made in this color scheme. Gray graphic color is popular in interior design. In general, it is multifaceted and practical. Gray can be safely used as a background for bright decorative elements.
Rich black is also on trend. The photo here shows the kitchen. Rate it - impressive, right?
Decorating the central room
The central element of the decor is a wreath, which is placed on the door and wall. Also suitable for stairs. To create a wreath you will need a cardboard sheet: you need to make a circle, and inside - a slightly smaller circle. A cardboard “donut” is the basis of the decoration.
As a last resort, curled newspaper, wire, or even a disposable plate are used for the base. Fir branches, bows, ribbons, pine cones, dried flowers, cinnamon sticks and even electric garlands are suitable for decorating a wreath.
Home decor for the New Year includes figures of New Year's characters. Floor vases with flowers are also suitable. The windows are decorated with decorative garlands along the cornice and pictures on the glass.
On the surfaces of the furniture there are candles, clay plates, fruit bowls with pine cones and Christmas balls. New Year's boots or socks, Christmas stars and crafts made from Christmas tree decorations are placed near the festive tree.
Ideas in autumn
Some cities are still warm enough to roll around in the leaves. Below are many ideas for autumn photos on Instagram.
For a photo shoot, you should take a beautiful umbrella that matches your clothes, and don’t forget a soft sweater. You can probably find a bench or steps sprinkled with leaves or the first melting snowball. So, options for the streets...
Leaves
This is traditionally the most popular Instagram trend in the fall, which seems to be already beaten. But if you approach it from an unusual angle, it will no longer look hackneyed.
Options:
- Leaves can be used to cover your face, make a wreath, or bury yourself in a mountain.
A great way to increase activity is to show coffee. This glass became the hero of probably half of the photos on Insta.
- The foliage itself has an interesting texture and color scheme; with the right filters, each frame will look juicy and vibrant.
The photo is so bright that you want to get ready and go for a walk
- It is worth thinking about the movement in the frame, making it dynamic. This will help you stand out from the crowd of similar leaf lovers.
Dynamics are appreciated in any frame. It seems like leaves are about to fall from the phone onto the table.
- Pull the branch closer and look at the leaves on the tree.
Reaching for the leaves, smelling their bouquet is not such a hackneyed move, the idea is alive, you can use
- You can come to nature with bags and collect trash thrown there, capture it in a photo and give an example to your subscribers.
- Try to climb a tree with yellow-red foliage and take a photo sitting on one of its branches.
Showcases
You can take photos from any side of the window. The main thing is to catch a good shot and create an atmosphere in the frame. Maybe the character in the frame is standing near the window because he wants to buy something. Or maybe it’s standing inside and being sold. They start decorating for the New Year already in mid-autumn.
Stylish shop windows regularly find themselves in the lens's sights
Movement in the frame creates interest. The character walks along the display window or waves his arms, proposes to his significant other or talks on the phone.
An attractive shot is to carry many multi-colored boxes stacked past a bright display case. A feeling of celebration quickly appears in those who see such photos.
Telephone
This gadget has long been part of our lives; it’s hard to imagine even part of the day without it. Of course, it also looks appropriate in the photo. A simple conversation on the phone in the center of the photo attracts attention, especially the emotions of the speaker, and they can be different.
Talking on the phone often brings the picture to life
You can take your old landline phone outside with you and “connect” its wire to a tree or foliage.
Payphones are so rarely used for their intended purpose that soon everyone will think that they are just a location for a photo or decoration on the wall.
Well, another option is to use a payphone on the street. Even if it doesn’t work, it’s a great fall photo idea for Instagram.
Hats and other accessories
Hats and berets never go out of style, especially when combined with interesting textured scarves and shawls.
At any time of the year it’s worth picking up a hat and now a new original frame is ready
You don't have to exclusively take selfies. The image is conveyed well through details - a hat on a bench, a shawl on foliage or snow, even a handbag with leaves peeking out can be the hero of the photo.
Layouts of socks, candles and other things
At home, they prepare the surface and lay out on it sets of things, objects that harmonize with each other. You need to think in advance what you want to say with such a photo, it should have meaning.
Layouts with garlands are always especially attractive. I've been wanting to take pictures like this for years now. But for now I just like these on Instagram 
Among the interesting items in such photos it is worth noting:
- guitar;
- indoor or cut seasonal flowers;
- leaves in a vase;
- candles and socks;
- apples and vegetables in season;
- berries;
- cloth napkins;
- gadgets.
Consider how well the elements in the frame harmonize with each other. I like it when there are not many bright spots - everything is approximately the same calm color scheme or one thing stands out.
Dining room and kitchen decor for the holiday
To decorate a kitchen or dining room, dishes with New Year's decor are appropriate. But it is also possible to make similar home decor with your own hands. The decoupage technique is used.
You will need a cute New Year's napkin and a glass plate. You need to cut out the design and try it on the base. Then separate the top layer of the napkin. You need to apply glue over the entire surface with a brush, gently press the napkin (face down) and straighten it with a sponge. You can use a hair dryer to speed up the process.
A budget-friendly way to liven up your kitchen is New Year's textiles. You also need to think through serving options and select runners for the festive table. For this purpose, New Year-themed embroidery or crocheted napkins are often used.
New Year's spirit in the bedroom
Candles, New Year's textiles and garlands will help create a festive atmosphere in the bedroom. Appropriate decorative sofa pillows or a collection of pillowcases with a Christmas print.
Traditional New Year's colors include red, white and green. You can also make a homemade checkered blanket more festive - for example, sew a braid with balls along the edge.
An elegant addition is compositions with candles. There is no need to light them at all, because the festive decoration will already bring the spirit of the New Year. Wooden cuts, dried flowers, animal figures - all this is appropriate. New Year's decor is complemented with eco-garlands made from pine cones, dried flowers and other natural materials.
Even dried oranges or other citrus fruits effectively enhance the Christmas atmosphere. Wooden cuts can be used as a basis for such a garland.
Application of barrels
What else can you do for a modern dacha yourself? Old wooden barrels will help update your country house exterior. Using them, you can create a lot of useful items.
Thus, barrels go well with water: they will play a decorative role for the pond. A unique atmosphere of some antiquity is created, as if you are transported to a time when people carried buckets on rockers, and all yards had their own well.
You can also use metal barrels, which, after being treated to remove existing rust, must be painted and used both to contain water and for the purpose of arranging a barbecue. It is unlikely that anyone will disagree that such a barbecue can be found in any yard.
Such barrels are best suited for site decoration. You can decorate them and enliven the shaded areas of the garden. At the same time, unusual decorations such as bows and umbrellas will only add color to the figures.
