If you’re on the lookout for inspiration to give your living spaces a makeover but Pinterest isn’t quite hitting the spot, look no further. We’ve curated a list of the 15 best Singaporean home Instagram accounts that are guaranteed to ignite your creative spark, leave you with the ultimate reno tips, and kickstart your Marie Kondo-approved lifestyle.
1. @hometrulee – For budget-conscious homeowners
At the top of our list is @hometrulee, which has 13,000 followers and an Instagram feed brimming with a warm and cosy aesthetic.

Off-white walls coupled with harmonious wooden furniture create an inviting loom that’s airy, yet cosy. What we love about this account is that they’ve made use of store-bought furniture from budget places such as IKEA and Iuiga rather than having built-in carpentry, making it a breeze to introduce or upgrade furniture pieces in the future.
The account also serves as good inspo for fellow budget-conscious homeowners who want to create a beautiful home without breaking the bank.
They also provide comprehensive breakdowns of their home interior, offering viewers an opportunity to connect and gain a deeper understanding of the reasoning behind their design choices. The delightful blend of eye-catching visuals and valuable insights will resonate with anyone in a similar stage of life.
2. @ourfookinhouse – A visual diary of their home

We can’t help but admire fortunate individuals blessed with a natural eye for design – stylishly transforming spaces is an art that not everyone possesses. One look at @ourfookinhouse’s feed will tell you that they belong firmly in the former camp.

@ourfookinhouse has mastered the art of putting together visually appealing TV console arrangements and desk setups that are aesthetically appealing, yet low-maintenance. Their designs inspire us all to elevate our decorating skills and strike the perfect balance in our own spaces.
3. @jingwensathome – Reno regrets & home reno updates
While we all adore gazing at stunning home interiors, there’s a hidden truth that rarely gets shared – the regrets that often accompany certain beautifications.

But @jingwensathome bucks the trend by fearlessly opening up about their own home reno regrets, keeping their followers in the loop and providing an authentic glimpse into the hiccups that they encountered on their journey.
Their account acts as a renovation diary, diligently documenting the entire process and sharing regular updates through story highlights and Instagram reels.

8. @muji_uchi – Muji-like aesthetics
It’s fair to say the idea of having a home that resembles a Muji showroom is popular amongst Singaporeans since it blends aesthetics with functional homeware.
