WHEN IT COMES to home improvements, many of us know what we want but need a little inspiration to shape the details.

Social media is a great place to start. You might already have ideas pinned and even started saving, but still be unsure what will work best in your space. That’s where creators and designers can help, sharing ideas to unlock your home’s potential.

So, we’ve rounded up some of the best Irish Instagram accounts for home design ideas to help you approach your next project with confidence. As you start to plan your project, try the PTSB Personal Loan Calculator to see how much you could borrow to help you go from finding inspiration, to sharing your own renovation.

My Old Brand New Home by Lynn Ferrari

Lynn Ferrari’s Instagram page is all about interiors and is the perfect inspiration for anyone who needs a sense of what looks good in a completed extension. Whether you’re wondering what you can do in terms of layout, light fittings, skirting, finishes, or really any element of your interior, this page is full of ideas and explanations for you.

Lynn began her design journey when she renovated her first home and now encourages others to find their own inspiration. Now working on her second renovation, she says: “Making sure you’re sharing ideas and your process is important. I think people can find it daunting and don’t know where to start,” which is why she uses her page to detail how she goes from the beginnings of a concept to its final execution.
