Sheltering at Home—and Posting on Instagram: 12 Inspiring Glimpses from Behind Closed Doors

March 30, 2020

Rearranging, sanitizing, trying to stay healthy–and taking photos. These last few cooped-up weeks have been a time of interior introspection. And an opportunity to take part in some Instagram Show and Tell. For design voyeurs, there’s been a steady flow of inspiration to distract from the news and the fear. Here, a dozen inside looks from creatives sheltering at home.

Above: We’ve been turning to artist Wayne Pate for inspiration for years now: see Julie’s 2010 Steal This Look on his home office, and Bloomsbury in Brooklyn, my more recent post on his wallpaper and fabrics. Wayne captioned this glimpse of his living room “Isolation Nation.” (N.B.: Wayne often sells work directly from his own walls via Instagram.)

Above: Munich-based designer and blogger Sarah Van Peteghem of Coco Lapine (@sara_cocolapine) is already accustomed to working from home—”I have a daily routine and even though it’s flexible, I find that applying ‘office hours’ works best,” she says. We like her stripes combination: her own print, Plissé no. 1, paired with Studio Oyama’s Kalligrafi cup and saucer from Fine Little Day.

We’ve been asking owners Danielle and Joël Cyr to show us their own home—”still in progress,” they always report. So we were delighted to see this bedroom, with a canopy frame found on Wayfair and wicker Flynn Wall Sconce from Serena & Lily. The sheets are fragrant with lavender courtesy of June’s French Eau de Linge.
