The Best Interior Design Hashtags For Instagram That Actually Work

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for details.

Let me be blunt. Slapping #InteriorDesign on every post is like seasoning a dish with only salt. Sure, it’s a start, but you’re missing the entire spice cabinet.

I watched my engagement tank for months because I used the same 10 massive hashtags everyone else was using. My posts got buried under 100 million other posts within seconds.

The Instagram algorithm doesn’t reward lazy hashtag strategy anymore.

The Hashtag Formula That Changed Everything

The Hashtag Formula That Changed Everything
- - The 30-Hashtag Mix:
The Heavy Hitters: Broad Reach Hashtags
Medium Engagement Hashtags (The Sweet Spot)
Niche Hashtags by Design Style
Room-Specific Hashtags That Convert

After testing dozens of approaches, I discovered a structure that actually works:

The 30-Hashtag Mix:

10 broad reach hashtags (100K-1M posts)
10 medium hashtags (10K-100K posts)
5 niche-specific hashtags (1K-10K posts)
5 location or community hashtags

This spread puts your content in front of both massive audiences AND targeted communities where you can actually stand out.

Don’t dump all hashtags in your caption though. Drop them in the first comment within 60 seconds of posting to keep your caption clean.

The Heavy Hitters: Broad Reach Hashtags

These are your foundation hashtags with massive audiences:

#InteriorDesign (100M+ posts)
#HomeDecor (85M+ posts)
#InteriorInspo (20M+ posts)
#HomeDesign (18M+ posts)
#InteriorStyling (8M+ posts)
#HomeStyling (7M+ posts)
#InteriorInspiration (15M+ posts)
#InteriorLovers (5M+ posts)
#InteriorArchitecture (10M+ posts)
#DecorIdeas (6M+ posts)

These get you into the game, but they won’t win it for you alone.

When you’re styling your next project, having the right tools matters. A quality measuring tape helps you nail those perfect dimensions that photograph well.

#InteriorForAll (500K posts)

#MyDomaine (800K posts)

I saw my engagement triple when I started using more of these mid-range hashtags. Your posts actually get seen here.

When shooting these different styles, proper lighting makes all the difference. I swear by a good ring light for consistent, flattering photos.

Room-Specific Hashtags That Convert

People search for specific spaces they’re redesigning:

Living Rooms:

#LivingRoomInspo
#LivingRoomDesign
#CozylIvingRoom
#LivingRoomIdeas

Bedrooms:

#BedroomDecor
#BedroomInspo

Kitchens:

#KitchenInspo
#KitchenRenovation
#ModernKitchen

Bathrooms:

#BathroomDecor
#BathroomRenovation
#BathroomInspo

I learned this the hard way after posting a gorgeous bathroom renovation with only general hashtags. Reposted it with room-specific tags and got 10x the engagement.
