When Noa Santos co-founded Homepolish, he completely rethought the interior design model, offering beautiful affordable interior design by the hour to young, style-minded clients in major cities. He made it possible to have the space of your dreams without the bank account of your dreams, and it’s something of a disruptor. But Noa himself is all about bringing people together and improving their day-to-day lives, and his list of favorite Instagram feeds is exactly that: a mix of established creatives and new, exciting minds changing their respective worlds.
@fashionyourseatbelt
Ross Matsubara works in PR, and his feed is as social as you’d think: his glamorous friends (and the glamorous places they go) are the subject of most of his photos. Full disclosure: he’s also my boyfriend.
@homepolish
Our feed keeps our followers up-to-date with the latest projects designed by our Homepolish designers. It’s funny and irreverent and addictive. It’s also a great place to source specific furnishings.
@mrorlandosoria
Our creative director Orlando Soria’s taste is incredible and his commentary on everything is hilarious. You will LOL.
@savroberts
For being under 25, she’s done some major projects. When I want to see a fresh way to mix high and low, vintage and contemporary, I check out her feed.
@theselby
Todd pioneered interior voyeurism for the Internet age. He has such an eye for the business of living and translating your taste into a space.
@eggcanvas
Erica Choi has amazing taste. She’s the digital art director for Barney’s and her Instagram is endlessly inspiring
@kylekriegerhair
Fitness guru and hair expert, Kyle’s Instagram is fun, inspiring and funny
@yummertime
Candy-colored photos from Brock and Chris, a couple living in San Francisco with great modern-preppy style.
@claireesparros
She’s our head of photography, and there’s no room she can’t make look beautiful.
@cj_hendry
CJ is an incredible artist. Her feed is mesmerizing monochrome. I ask “how does she do that?!” often.
@witanddelight_
Kate’s beautiful, well-documented life in Minnesota is basically temptation to leave New York. Her great taste and consulting business are supplemented (and evidenced) by her amazing e-commerce site.
@kitandace
You never realized you want a “technical cashmere” t-shirt until you shop Kit and Ace. JJ and Shannon Wilson’s (the wife and son of Lululemon founder Chip Wilson) feed pays homage to the classic and beautiful t-shirt.
@andreagentl
Andrea is one half of the photography duo Gentl and Hyers. She and her other half became friends in college at Parsons, and her personal Instagram has their signature quiet energy. She makes empty doorways look like poetry.
@evachen212
She’s always first to the party, whether it’s a new skincare brand, shoe designer or book, and she is down to earth. Her position as head of fashion at Instagram is a no-brainer.
@aguynamedpatrick
Patrick can make any social situation feel like an exclusive party and his Instagram feed is a great peek into his well-traveled, beautiful life. I’m working with him on his apt redesign right now, he’s the best.
@ameliemancini
She specializes in woodblock stamping on textiles, and she’s a little known for repeated patterns of leaves, animals and geometric linework. She’s also just started teaching, and her process is fascinating.
@thethingswekeep
A home and jewelry line based in New York, often modeled by the company’s friends—and their adorable dogs.
@yukoart
Aside from her own black-and-white illustrations, Yoko shares a lot of her current inspiration, from foreign bookstores to museum exhibits.
@gantthiede
A former assistant buyer at Neiman Marcus who refers to himself as “blogger without a blog.” Instagram is his way of sharing stories, from his favorite new restaurants to his collection of wild printed pants. He knows what his clients want.
@tessaneustadt
Tessa’s a photographer (who also shoots for Homepolish) who travels so much, she has to update her Instagram bio with a “currently in” line. (She’s in France at the moment, if anyone’s curious.) I love the way she captures natural light and bright colors.
