Have you ever tried to run a blogger Instagram with aesthetically pleasing wall? Have you ever checked those Influencer’s Instagrams and told yourself that you are not good enough to maintain such artistic wall? Then you are at the right place! I’m a person who tried out 100 of VSCO recipes for 4 years but never had a beautiful wall until I realized the fundamentals of maintaining a wall with matching images


First of all, you have to understand the main two types of aesthetic pictures. They are

1. Pictures with maximum objects / Busy pictures

2. Pictures with minimal objects / Minimal aesthetics



1. Pictures with maximum objects / busy pictures


                     Pictures that has so much going on. Best for travel bloggers or bloggers who are surrounded by detailed complex backgrounds/objects.

EXAMPLES


@Nekomatahime

Beauty and lifestyle blogger who collects cute Japanese things. Her pictures are so complex. It’s rare to see a picture on her wall, which has a single space left.


@Eileenmak


Fashion and travel blogger who has a rainbow Instagram wall.

TIPS AND TRICKS for this type


  • Always try to take complex, lot going on pictures to match all pictures.

  • Always try to stick onto same colors.

  • Since we see maximum 9 pictures on a profile at a time, if you have blue color only on one picture, it ruins the whole thing. (picture)

  • You’ll have to change the tones a bit, with the destination (picture) but always try to switch to similar colors.

  • If you have a color that doesn’t match your other picture, use apps like VSCO X, Lightroom to reduce that certain color( picture)


2. Pictures with minimal objects/minimal aesthetics



Pictures that have more likely one or two objects with 90% of blank space or the pictures which have only two or three colours. @Minimalism

EXAMPLES


@K.els.e.y


Kelsey is a Youtuber who’s all about minimal aesthatics. All of her pictures only have 3 colours. Black, White and yellow tones(skin, jewelry )

@Ruperthoeller


Here is a profile which use simple patterns to make minimal pictures.

TIPS AND TRICKS for this type


  • If you want to take pictures which has up to 3 colors, make sure that your whole life’s aesthetics are those colors. Your surroundings should have more of those colors. If not, you’ll not be able to post constantly.

  • If you are choosing the other way, without caring about colors, you should have different plain colored backgrounds for each shot.

  • Always think about the contrast if you are making a multicolored wall. (Pastel, Neon)

Now we learned about the two types of aesthetic walls. Influencers usually pick one type and use that type more often. But using the other type in the middle of your wall can’t make a big difference. But don’t go for more than 1 post from the other type.

Don’t forget to use apps like Preview(free) to organize your pictures.


I hope you will use these techniques to design your dream wall! Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram!
