Here’s how you can make your feed look aesthetically pleasing…
1. Identify your personality
It’s very important to showcase your true personality through your Instagram feed. Decide what creative mood and vibe appeals to you and aim to achieve that through your content. Your feed will give your audience a sense of who you are and what your vibe is. So, it’s vital to think this through and keep it consistent throughout.
2. Choose a colour scheme
Do you have a favourite colour? You can use it to give your feed an overarching colour scheme. Having a consistent colour scheme or colour palette is important as it gives your feed a sense of synergy and makes it appealing to the eye. A person is likely to spend more time scrolling through your feed if they find your content visually synced and appealing. The easiest way to do this is to use your preferred presets that are available on various editing apps.
3. Plan your posts well in advance
If you wish to revamp your feed and make it more aesthetic, you gotta put in some time and effort. It’s very difficult to maintain a feed if you believe in impromptu posting. You gotta make sure no posts look out of place or repetitive, amirite? You can plan your posts well in advance with tools like Hopper HQ and many more.
4. Plan out a grid
Now, we know managing a grid is a tedious task but trust us, it would make your feed look phenomenally beautiful. Following a grid pattern develops a sense of cohesiveness on your feed and you will be able to convey your vibe in a better manner. If managing a complex grid seems too much for you, then you can start with something easy like maintaining a black/white theme or using white borders in all the pictures. An app like ‘Grids‘ can help you plan your design out.
5. Don’t be scared of editing your images
We are all for ‘being your true self’ on social media. However, if you wish to maintain an aesthetic looking feed on Instagram, you will have to start editing the colour tones of your images in a way that they suit your overarching palette. Don’t be wary of adjusting the brightness or reducing some exposure in order to make your post feed friendly. There are so many apps available that will make this process super simple.

If you are actually dedicated to revamping your Instagram, make sure you don’t miss out on being mindful of your highlights. You can use cute and quirky logos and divide your highlights according to events or themes. Remember to keep the colour scheme consistent while choosing the highlight logos.
