How to nail the Instagram 'FLAT-LAY'

Flat-lays are my favourite pics on Instagram and I love to do them! The reason why I love them so much is because most of the time I am too lazy to fix my makeup to make a selfie or there is no one to take a pic of my #ootd , or my dog is not cooperating with me and doesn't wanna save my Instagram crisis. So the perfect solution is a flat-lay! So to make sure your flat-lay is perfect I wrote these simple tips for you to help you with your Instagram game! Let's start, shall we?

1. Use a Good Backdrop

The backdrop is the most important factor and it's really important for it to be good! Mixing two patterns can also look super good! Some of the things  you can use are:

-Carpet

-Fur coat

-Blanket

-Bed sheets

-Tiles

-Some papers 

-Boards

2. Have a Theme

If your flat lay looks a bit 'over the place' it's probably because you are using too much different stuff. If you want your theme to be fashion,use a bag, some shades, maybe a magazine and some beauty products because fashion and beauty, in general, goes together. But if you want a sort of  a crafty look, use some notebooks, agendas, calendars, pens, stickers, washi tape and all that good stuff! 

3.Color Coordinate

Don't go too crazy with the colours. You should want to stick with a certain palette. 

4.Flowers are your BFF

With flowers, you can never go wrong! Even the most boring,basic flat lay can look super cute with some flowers. Just make sure they are fresh!

5. Shoot from Above

Yes, you need to raise your arms and yes I know it's almost a workout but that's the cost of a good Instagram pic. Sometimes this even requires a chair to stand on so be prepared! 

6. Natural light

Every pic needs a good light! The best light you can use is natural so make sure you are close to your window or even better get outside!

7.Inspire yourself

If you have a problem with the content just go on Pinterest or Tumblr and you'll def find some good pics to recreate!  And don't forget to stay creative!
