Ahh, Instagram. For the most part, it’s where we go to brag about our latest haul of designer donuts or scoff at other people’s indulgent gym posts, lest we forget the deluge of selfies for the sake of selfies. But we love it. And one thing we adore this social media platform for is the wealth of inspiration it gives us, particularly when it comes to our GAFF. Not so long ago, we would happily spend lazy Sundays flicking through glossy fashion magazines for our fix, but now, it’s a day spent on social media looking at other people’s gorgeous homes that give us feelings of comfort and joy. Perfectly styled houses are now to us what Manolos were to Carrie Bradshaw.
As GAFF enters its first week of life, we begin our social media creeping with a round-up of the best that Instagram has had to offer when it comes to interiors. Don’t forget, we want to hear from you on social so if you have a gorgeous GAFF or spot an interiors corner worthy of inclusion, please shout!
Let’s have a gawk, shall we?
1. This kitchen’s perfect mint and metal combination; don’t be afraid to strike out with coloured tiles…
2. A home office with some banana leaf print is an office we’d happily work in; try to add just a touch of personality to boost your creativity…

3. How to organise your delph and glassware when you have borderline OCD; this makes us feel TOO good…
4. We can have a Tikki Bar at home, right? Turquoise will add some energy where it’s needed…
5. Perhaps a fireplace without the actual fire would make for a nice addition to your bedroom. They have so many beautiful discarded fireplaces at junk yards around the country; clean one up and finish the look with lots of church candles…
6. Navy velvet FTW…
7. A walled blackboard in your kitchen is both useful and industrial chic…
8. No money? Well, we guess couches can be optional if you’re a die-hard Boho lover…
9. This shade of teal is everything, but what room in your house will get the teal deal?
10. Copper tap porn; making taps exciting since the 21st century…
11. Even if your kitchen is teeny tiny, some striking tiling can transform it into a room you love with little effort…
12. Let your statement rug do all the talking…
13. Round mirrors on a white wall are perfection…
Love the GAFF. Can see myself checking in for inspiration with a twist.
