It’s a good idea to pick a font and color scheme for your quote posts and stick with it so everything looks uniform. You can also play around with quote posts and lay your grid out based on where you want those to appear - choose a vertical row to always have a quote post such as the middle, or left or right, if you like offsetting it a little bit. So I might post a row where there is a blue color scheme going on, then another where there’s a plant in each and another with just all quote posts. If I want to go row by row, I’ll post three images with a theme, such as a color, a plant or a quote.

Make sure these images tell a story together. Another option is to group photos together in rows - horizontal or vertical - of three, or an entire grid of 9 images. If you don’t want to stress over the whole layout, you can stick with the same filter for each post. If you want to dive into crafting a gorgeous Instagram grid, there are tons of great ideas floating out there on the Internet to get your creative juices flowing.

And of course, don’t forget your favorite hashtags. You don’t need to be explaining in the caption that this is a chair in a living room - your viewers can simply see that. It doesn’t necessarily have to speak directly to the image. Write your captions so that they speak to your audience - aka you want to capture their attention. You can use your stories to be a little more real and raw. Make sure you are posting every single day and use professional or well-curated photos whenever possible. And for solo-preneurs, spending a lot of time focusing on the appearance of your feed may just be too overtaxing with all the other things you have going on.īut that doesn’t mean you can get away with putting no effort into this social media platform. Look, if you don’t end up creating an Instagram grid, it is not the end of the world (clearly, since I don’t have one and my world - and business - has not ended). But I’m still here to share all the tricks of the trade I’ve learned about the ‘gram. I’ll have to admit straight off the bat that I don’t use a grid - it’s on my long list of things to do. And Instagram grids are a great way to accomplish that. It’s also the best place to showcase your amazing interior design skills and help you connect with new clients.
