Reality stars and influencers already make thousands from their Instagram accounts and now some are able to make even more from their grey sofa interiors by setting up home Instagram accounts.

Many influencers like Olivia Bowen, Billie Shepherd and Lucy Mecklenburgh have created second Instagram accounts dedicated to the renovations of their massive mansions. There’s before and after pictures, plenty of pampas grass and of course a few adverts.

A number of them are able to make anything between £600 t0 £3,000 per sponsored post on their home Instagram accounts thanks to a high number of followers.
