10 Instagram accounts you should be following

Bianca Nardo, 33, lives in Melbourne, Australia. She’s an Art Director at Date of Birth, the design agency she owns with her fiancé John.

How would you describe your aesthetic?

I think my aesthetic hangs heavy with the scent of nostalgia — timeless architecture, art, design and of course appreciation of the female form.

Tanya Chancellor, works as an accessory designer, after having worked in fashion for over 10 years for brands such as Paul Smith, Coach, Rag & Bone, and Globe-Trotter to name a few. This year she decided to explore her passion in interior design further and enrolled in an online course from KLC School in Chelsea, London. As it’s very in-depth and technical Tanya started Mouse Interiors as a way to keep her inspired and figure out her style.

“It’s a visual reference library of all the designers, styles, craftsmen, furniture, antique stores and artists that I’m learning about and love. Every single image sparks some sort of excitement in me!”

How would you describe your aesthetic?

I’m still developing my aesthetic, and it’s fun to see how Mouse evolves. Right now, it’s Californian, Mid Century mixed with some European quirkiness. I love interiors to be a perfect blend of natural textures and materials, but with playful elements whether that be pops of colour, a fun chair or giant oversized art.

Charlotte Rey, Swedish designer and creative director, co-founder of interior and design studio Campbell Rey that she runs with her creative partner Duncan Campbell out of London.

How would you describe your aesthetic?

On the one hand, I am a terrible romantic, and would nostalgically hang a hand-loomed, powder peach, Florentine damask next to a Gustavian pale walnut burr chest, but on the other hand, I’m also a little punk at heart, who loves a juxtaposition. So I’d pair that with something conceptual and futuristic, like a Sabine Marcelis candy cube or a neon artwork by Dan Flavin. (…) There are things that I love such as how Mexican architect Luis Barragán informs his stark architectural forms with an exuberant fuchsia palette or (…) an eccentric great style of L’Oeil magazine editor Rosamond Bernier. I appreciate the craftsmanship combined with the irreverence of (…) jeweller Joel Arthur Rosenthal, who makes a diamond brooch that looks like a twisted orange peel. (…) I also love the verdant and lush atmosphere of Palacío de Monserrate in Sintra, and the proud but doomed splendour of a film like Visconti’s Il Gattopardo. All that amalgamated with the playfulness and surrealism of Carsten Höller’s Upside Down Mushroom Room artwork at the Prada Fondazione and my aesthetic probably lands somewhere bang in the middle. 

Xanthea Riordan, lives in Melbourne, Australia. She has a background in Interior Design and is currently focusing on making her project White Sage through a website and smaller explorations.

How would you describe your aesthetic?

My aesthetic is calm and purposeful. White walls with sun streaming in, a timber accent somewhere in the room (be it chair or window sill), and something curved to add a quirk.

Hannah Covacic, works as an apparel designer and has been in the industry for over 13 years. She has worked both in London and in the U.S. for brands such as Nike, Gap and New Balance.

“A big part of design is creating the ‘mood’ and as Instagram is like a giant mood board, I started ‘All The Rest‘ to build a dream ‘R&R’ lifestyle and to inspire others with what we have to look forward to when we get back outside”

How would you describe your aesthetic?

My time on the West Coast and especially in California has definitely influenced me. I love outdoors, indoors vibes, being near the sea, the sunshine and being warm. I like things to feel luxurious but comfy. My husband and I are huge collectors of old stuff and have lots of vintage industrial furniture, old wooden pieces and vintage blankets and textiles. So I seem to seek out big, clean spaces that are light and airy, perfect for filling with things! I’d say my aesthetic is Relaxed, Vintage, California Cool.
