LP Creative
Lauren Piscione has become the go-to designer for the American bi-coastal style set, bringing her signature blend of laid-back ‘Cali cool meets East Coast powerhouse’ to all of her projects. Her LP Creative Instagram grid is an exquisite study in how to layer minimalist surroundings with historic pieces, design classics and hints of greenery – low-key luxe to a tee. @thelpcreative
Stella Weatherall
It’s been just three years since Stella Weatherall hard-launched her interior-design studio (following stints at Firmdale Hotels and Flora Soames), but her bright and bold schemes have scooped up a cult following that goes far beyond the feed. Follow for a playful pick ’n’ mix of patterns and textures – and the designer’s expertise at reimagining spaces with considered planning and bold, layered schemes. @stella_weatherall
Cabana
No one does maximalism quite like Cabana. Indeed, founder Martina Mondadori is the high priest of ‘eclectic-chic’, drawing on vintage designs from her travels the world over, to glean her spectacularly singular style. Hit follow on the Cabana account for the maximalist mood-board of dreams – prints on top of prints on top of prints, color explosions and flamboyant fabrics aplenty. And, should you want to recreate any of these looks at home, her line of tableware is the perfect starting point. @cabanamagazine
Broadwick Soho
It is always a great thrill when the worlds of interiors and hospitality collide, and the Broadwick Soho hotel is no exception. Iconic interior designer Martin Brudnizki, along with creative director Andrea Gelardin, are the brains behind each flamboyant corner – behold lacquered walls hung with Warhols, leopard-print club chairs and mirrored ceilings, as seen in its opulent Italian eatery, Dear Jackie. Broadwick Soho is an art-deco disco dive that references everything from Studio 54 to Marie Antoinette – and any maximalists-in-the-making should tune in to its vibrant Instagram feed for no end of inspiration. @broadwicksoho
Buchanan Studio
You can spot Angus and Charlotte Buchanan’s irreverent designs a mile off. Indeed, their London home almost broke the internet with its rhubarb-and-custard-colored tiled bathroom and walk-in pantry. Having honed their skills working for high-fashion brands, the pair have since brought their eclectic references to residential and commercial clients all over the world. Follow for up-close details of all their suitably singular spaces, including the home of Charlotte and Philip Colbert – a surrealist marvel complete with lobster-shaped hardware and a bespoke velvet-beveled bar – a space guaranteed to delight and surprise. @buchanan.studio
Eagle & Hodges
Creative director Alex Eagle is the design eye behind some of the chicest spots around and, together with her long-term collaborator Sophie Hodges, has fast become the go-to designer for the It-crowd. Tune in for unexpected style quirks, such as chinoiserie paneling paired with abstract art and modernist chairs by Pierre Jeanneret (as seen at their masterpiece-of-a-project Oakley Court), and, of course, the fabulously retro accents at 180 Health Club, which have been shared and re-shared far and wide. @eagle.hodges
Maximilian Hurd
Look no further than designer Max Hurd’s opulent Instagram account for a masterclass in maximalism. The self-confessed dandy has left no corner of his London pad unadorned, with trinkets, objets and supersized artworks dripping from every jewel-toned wall, which he co-designed with long-term collaborator Benedict Foley. Follow him for one big, dazzling smorgasbord of clashing prints and vintage finds that reference everything from Oscar Wilde to Brazilian bordellos. @maximilianhurd
Augusta Hoffman
New York-based Augusta Hoffman is fast becoming the go-to for that highly coveted pared-back, Rose Uniacke look – think shearling, sectionals and sandy-hued schemes all round. Since launching her design studio in 2019, Hoffman has built up a clientele that includes celebrity wedding-dress designer Danielle Frankel, whose new atelier – with its sleek, poured-concrete floors and mohair-covered ’70s furniture – is pure lo-fi-luxe perfection. @augusta.hoffman
Rachel Chudley
No one masters color and texture quite like London-based designer Rachel Chudley. Her creations tip over into the realm of fine art, with intricate murals, marbles and captivating paintings in every space. Chudley’s clients – rock stars and actors among them – have been known to cry with joy at their room reveals. @rachelchudley
Barlow & Barlow
Barlow & Barlow design studio has a knack for trailblazing a trend – just look at one of its recent projects, Kin House, for proof. The Fermoie fabric-wrapped bath and blush pink, squiggle-tiled bathroom (which recently lit up social media) is just the tip of the iceberg in this vast portfolio of playful designs – all with viral potential. Follow for a masterclass on how to pull off florals, scallops and pelmets without things getting too chintzy. @barlowandbarlow
Campbell Rey
The impossibly tasteful duo Charlotte Rey and Duncan Campbell are the design prodigies behind some of the best-looking rooms on Instagram these days. Campbell Rey’s distinctively eclectic style – all jewel tones, animal prints, lacquer and low-slung furniture – references everything from Renaissance masters to Italian interiors of the ’70s. It’s difficult to resist their glossy world and its ability to transport you to another era. Look out for their restoration of a Belle Époque villa in Italy, to be unveiled soon, plus their covetable collaboration with rug company Nordic Knots. The latest design is inspired by the grandeur of Hotel Il Pellicano, no less. @campbellrey
Lucy Williams Home
What a treat it is when a bona-fide style icon turns their hand to a house renovation – in this case stylist Lucy Williams, who has channeled her impeccable taste into her London fixer-upper. Sneak a peek at her collection of beautiful pieces by Beata Heuman, Alma Berrow, Faye Wei Wei and more. Stay tuned for her live Q&As, where she generously shares her years’ worth of research and insider tips, including her little black book of the makers she loves. @lucywilliamshome

From David Hockney’s Crayola-colored LA bungalow to chef Laila Gohar’s airy New York loft, Pieces has collected beautiful rooms around the world and created the ultimate interiors mood board. _@pieceslondon__
Hope + Hughes
This glorious account is proof that living in a period property doesn’t have to be all florals and frills. Hope + Hughes’ Eirwen Oxley Green knows a thing or two about renovations – this apartment is her ninth – and the journalist-turned-interior-designer’s expertise can be felt in every corner of her exquisite home (as well of that of her clients). Enjoy glimpses of her statement tiled floors, heavenly walk-in larder, marble-topped Shaker kitchen and wisteria-wrapped courtyard. hopeandhughes.com
