Hopefully those links work! If you like any of them, check who they follow/their followers lists — I always find other good ones that way. :)

I follow some local decorators. Here’s one. https://instagram.com/larinakase?igshid=1fxht1kqfieuz

I love traditional design and architecture, so I follow @frenchcountrypassion and @janefrenchhome Definitely not for people who love the modern-farmhouse look.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! (Jinx, have missed you and the rest of the gang here too! Work has kept me stupid busy lately!) I've now followed a number of these recommended, and also just came across carlosgarciainteriors, which is exuberant and delightful. Ahhh ... off to explore some more!

Velvet and Linen (Patina Farm)

Jared Hughes Design

Whitney Parkinson Design

James T Farmer

LOL, my initial thought was: hmm, that sounds like an interesting thread, I don’t remember that one...imagine my surprise when I clicked on jinx’s link. Yikes, I’m getting old.

If there are designers you like, or design magazines, search for them on instagram. I follow some already listed, but I will add -

Make Mine a Spritzer (she has lovely gardens/landscaping - small space)

Sparrow Home Design

Lauren Ross Design

Vivr Design

For the Love of a House (new england - lovely home/gardens)

Sincerely Marie Home

Ralph Lauren Home

Louisa Craven

Lothai (another new england, beautiful views)

Sanctuary Home Decor

*Keep in mind my love is cottage, antiques, etc. so you may not be interested in some of the same accounts I follow.

I've been searching for southwest design (without the farmhouse influence), but haven’t found a lot out there. Then again, that's a pretty narrowly defined style, so I probably shouldn't be surprised.

I will scroll through IG and add as I find some faves.

So far,

@ashleyhicks1970

@cabanamagazine

@edward_bulmer

@serenacrawford

All highly classic, kinda grand, but livable.

From the Kipp's Bay house visit in 2019"

Sheila Bridges @harlemtoilegirl

Old House Life @old_house_life

Make It Mid-Century @makeitmidcentury

Freemason to Mansion @freemason_to_mansion

Ida, I cn't figure out why only

@serenacrawford

account turned out properly, that is into a link. I double checked the other addresses and they were right. I ha[pen to think you will particularly like Crawford's taste and point of view, but am annoyed I can't link properly to the others.

I follow a number that have been mentioned here but I just started following this San Antonio designer and maybe you will find some inspiration:
