Mastering the Flatlay For Instagram

Flatlays are all the rage on Instagram at the moment. You know, those carefully curated top view shots that are popping up all over your feed? (Think the contents of a handbag strewn across a white linen sheet, or a decadent brunch spread shot from above.)

But how can you master this social media trend? Follow our top tips and you'll be a flatlay pro in no time!

  • A light background will make your items pop (think white marble, crisp linen or white washed wood.)
  • Test your objects to see if they look good from a top view.
  • Leave a little space between your objects to balance your composition.
  • Pick a theme (make sure all of your items have a common thread tying them together.)
  • Take your photo during the day (and if possible, near a natural light source.)
