How to create Instagram-worthy spaces at home

Here's how to give your followers #homegoals and keep the likes coming!

Who doesn't want to get more likes when you post a snap of your home on Instagram?

Find out how to create spaces at home that are worthy of a double tap, as seen in some of Cromly House Tours:

1. Clean up.

You can't expect to get great shot with all that clutter.

Make sure your bathroom is free of grime and there are no empty bottles lying around.

Declutter your bedroom by removing pieces of clothing and other unnecessary items.

Make sure your kitchen sink doesn't have dirty dishes.

2. Decorate a wall that's swoon-worthy.

Hang eyecatching artworks or family photos.

You can also display your collection of curios such as cartoon characters, travel mementos, or tin signboards just like in the home above.

3. Zoom in.

By photographing details, you help catch viewers' attention and draw them in.

It can be anything: a neat stack of magazines on a coffee table or why not master your flat lays on the dining table.

4. Go minimalist.

Don't forget that less is more. Avoid overdecorating your home.

Sure, it's nice to highlight the most decorative pieces or interesting aspects of your home.

But putting a lot of them together can make your photos look too busy.

It may help catch your viewers' attention at first, but it can also overwhelm them.

5. Spruce up your home-and your photos-with plants.

Not only do greenery gives a soothing and cooling effect in real life and in photos, it also adds a nice pop of colour especially against a neutral or white background.

6. Add a dash of cuteness to your photos.

How? Let your pets join in on the fun.

Include them in your photos and you'll surely have your followers gushing over their cuteness.

7. Use white as a backdrop.

Not only is it very clean, it also complements colours nicely and makes them really pop.

A nice white wall can serve as the perfect backdrop.

A clean white rug or carpet can really bring out the colour of your furniture pieces.

8. Rugs and carpets can help give character to a room and make it more interesting.

They also add texture and give off a cosy feel.

Make sure to choose materials, patterns, and colours that add a lovely contrast to your room.

9. Lighting is important.

Use soft lighting to highlight a room's most interesting features.

You can also open your curtains to flood your home with natural light.
