It’s amazing what a couple of well placed, bold accessories can do. Spruce up your sofa with mismatched abstract cushions.

Cosy on your feet and ideal for wider living room photos, rugs are an investment that will stay with you for years to come.

The staple of all our favourite interiors feeds, a solid sideboard is pretty, practical and will last you for a long time.

To be honest, the more plants you can get in your pics the better. Hanging planters are great for saving your floor space and sneaking plants in where you wouldn’t expect them.

Food photos are filling up a good majority of our feeds these days, so if you’re planning on including some in your snaps make sure you have worthy tableware – old or chipped plates will only let you down.

Try to hang where light will bounce off your trinkets, ensuring the perfect Instagram snap.

Let visitors know how well-read you are and put your favourite magazines on display. They’re becoming pieces of art in themselves, so why not have them on show?

Store your stationary, teas or all the things you don’t know where to put in these delightful terrazzo tins. Then make sure you artfully place them on a shelf where you can see them at all times.
