Creative Instagram accounts to follow

I have a confession to make… I’m a bit of a technophobe. You are much more likely to find me curled up with an actual, real life, physical book, (you know the kind that you open and are greeted with that dusty, stale library smell!) than having downloaded the same onto a kindle or iPad. I’m not even very good on the computer, this blog alone took me several days to create after trying to get my head around WordPress. I’m even known to huff very loudly most days at poor James, who does have a bit of an obsession with numerous games on his iPad. However, I do love Instagram, especially when I find creative Instagram accounts to be inspired by.

Creative Instagram accounts to inspire daily

One piece of technology that I do allow myself and have become a little addicted to is my phone because it allows me access to the wonderful world of Instagram! And that means finding creative Instagram accounts to be inspired by!

I was a bit of a late-comer to Instagram. Sticking to my love of being outside and emerging myself in nature and the simpler way of life, I avoided anything that involved looking at a screen (unless it was related to photography). However, Instagram being a photography site persuaded me to take a peep and I was converted. I’m now guilty of spending an hour a day browsing the app, being inspired by the numerous photographers, adventurers and creatives sharing their lives and images. Here are my top five creative Instagram accounts to be inspired by, from sustainable and ethical goods and adventure photography to Yoga tips, beautiful landscapes and interior design. I think you’ll like these.

The Future Kept

Chris Burkard – Instagram account for photography

Jessica Olie – Yoga advice from her popular Instagram account 

This girl is awesome. She’s inspired me to take up Yoga daily which has helped my mood, wellbeing and flexibility tremendously but she is also very real, her captions are from the heart. Best bit of advice you’ll get today – download her ‘lets start yoga’ eBook, trust me you will thank me for it.

LPOTYUK – Landscape photographer of the Year UK

The annual Landscape Photographer of the Year competition celebrates the great British landscape. 

I’m allowed to be biased with this one. Set up by renowned landscape photographer Charlie Waite (aka my boss man), this account features beautiful landscapes from the UK. Just a reminder of the wonderfulness that is home.

Interior design collective – creative Instagram account

A unique community of 26 independent design creatives championing accessible interior design across the UK.

For those ‘non-millionaires’ wanting interior design inspiration. That’s me then! 

See more here.

And because I couldn’t get it down to five (but am told five is apparently the magic number!), here’s one extra!

Jess Olm – New York based wilderness girl Instagram account

Because what’s not to like about cosy cabins, wild mountains, festive escapes and so many autumnal tones! This girl’s feed makes me want to go and live in the mountains with a red lumberjack shirt and a wooden cabin!

So go follow and be inspired every day. It makes waking up to the early alarm clock much more bearable I promise!
