The role of influencer has burst into mainstream media in the past few years, and it can turn into a lucrative career. Making engaging and compelling content from home requires filming in your living space, so it must look modern and exciting.
If you are a budding influencer or looking to spice up your online presence, read on for a list of furniture that will help you do just that.
Lighting –
Lighting can make the difference between an average video and a viral one, so you need to get this right. Depending on the focus of your content, your lighting needs may change.
For those who create makeup tutorials or outfit content, focused lighting is best. Get yourself pieces like illuminated mirrors that can help to highlight yourself, encouraging viewers to concentrate on what you are doing.
Some creators make interior design-based content. If this is where you aim to be then look into getting larger spotlights. Whilst natural light is always best, spotlights can illuminate dark corners and focus the eye.
Matching soft furniture –
Creating a pleasing background is helpful for all types of social media content. One huge influencing factor is the soft furnishings you choose.
Videos showing setups for readers, for example, aim to encourage cosiness and comfort – a lot of which is achieved through soft furnishings. Keep the colours neutral to appeal to a wider audience. Plus, neutral colours feel calm and inviting which helps shape your overall aesthetic.
Vintage décor –
One of the biggest social media home décor trends is the use of vintage items. Not only is reusing décor good for the environment but it can help to give your content direction and a theme.
You don’t have to make your entire home vintage, but some well-chosen pieces can be statements. High-quality pieces are always best such as candlesticks, jugs or even wooden drawers. Make sure you care for and clean them gently to restore them to their former glory.
Outside furniture –
Although the UK doesn’t always have the best weather, having an outside space is helpful.
Patios are a popular choice as they are lower maintenance, and you can switch furniture around easily. Seating choices can vary depending on your needs. Egg chairs are super versatile for all types of content. They can be considered aspirational as well as achievable.
Your outdoor space is also a great place for vintage finds, tying your interior and exterior together. Planters and hanging baskets can often be snapped up for cheap prices and help add pops of colour.
