One of my favorite tips for Instagram is “a great post gets a like, but a great feed gets a follow.” Someone will decide whether or not they are going to follow you within a few seconds of looking at your Instagram feed, so you need to make a good impression. And today, with one billion monthly active users, 500 million of whom scroll through their Instagram feed every day, it’s crucial that you create a feed that sticks out from the crowd.

Creating a consistent Instagram aesthetic is one of the best and easiest ways to make your feed look fabulous so you can attract new followers with ease. By choosing a color scheme for your Instagram and picking out a filter or two, you can easily make all of your photos flow together with the click of a button.

Here are some of our favorite Instagram aesthetics and instructions for how you can achieve a similar feed!
