Including earthy greens and scene-stealing blues.
Blush pinks, deep blues and earthy greens are among Instagram's most popular room colours.
New research by Rated People found that pink is the most Instagrammed home decor colour for the bedroom, bathroom, playroom, nursery and staircase. Meanwhile, blue was named the most popular for dining rooms and hallways.
'It's well known that Instagram is where some of the most aspirational home interiors can be found, so it’s fascinating to look at the biggest colour trends and discover just how much they influence, or don’t influence, the colour schemes that we’re choosing for our own homes,' says Adrienne Minster, CEO of Rated People.
'It was interesting to see that in reality, most people make safer, neutral colour choices, even though bolder block colours are more popular on Instagram and provide plenty of design inspiration.'
