I’ve been asked numerous times how I create my flat lays to give my Instagram feed a cosy feel so I thought I’d make a video to show exactly how.
I like to use flat lays to tell a story. What is the main point of interest? I won’t just pick up random items from my house or from outdoors. It has to have a reason for being in the shot. And this is why, a lot of the time, my notebooks take centre stage in my flat lays. Because that is what I’ve been working on, that’s what my day has been all about.
In this video I talk about seven elements:
The background
The story
Texture & layers
Food & drink
My interests
Adding props
Editing

I created my Instagram account on 20th July 2014 and now, six years later, after spending hours and hours of my life creating for the app, commenting on the app and scrolling on the app, I no longer spend my time there. I’m no longer anxious, I’m more productive and I have more ideas for my writing and business than I could hope for. It’s been transformative.
