I didn’t even have an Instagram account and I was well aware of Stephanie Somebody (aka Stamatis). This Melbourne designer and stylist has been named in this month’s Real Living Magazine as one of the design forces of today and is somewhat an Instagram sensation with over 126K followers! All of her images have a common thread, a continuous story of beauty through the eyes of Stephanie and if you haven’t yet experienced it; I promise, like me, you’ll be hooked. I adore her very distinct styling that can be seen in the likes of Est Magazine; it’s raw and textured yet very authentic and almost always drawing on some form of nature. Today I’m thrilled to have Stephanie here to answer my 5 Decorating Questions.
Over to you Stephanie…
How would you best describe your style?
Industrial with a connection to nature.
What would be the most interesting decorative piece that you own?
My Kim Baise Homes Mobile from LA. The cutest little hand painted tee-pee, igloo, hut, caravan made from twigs and paper mâché.
A house or apartment?
Rooftop apartment with a garden! Best of both worlds!
Do you have anything for the home on your wish list right now?
So many things! Number one would have to be a piece of Dane Lovett artwork.
Good decoration…
… is a natural expression, not a forced one.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful images and words with us today Stephanie!
Readers it’s without saying that Stephanie Somebody knows a thing or two about Instagram and branding. Lucky for us she shares her knowledge in a workshop, Instagram Debunked at The School. The next one, much to my delight will be held in Auckland this November!
If you haven’t done so already, you can follow Stephanie on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter.

So great to find out more about Stephanie – I loved her recent styling for Est. Her workshop will be no doubt be amazing! x
Wow I understand why she has so many followers, so beautiful shoots – And I like her approach to the idea of what good decoration really is. I’ll add her on my newbie IG:-) Looking forward to hear and see more after the workshop, best Mette
Yes I thought that too (what decoration is) and it’s easy to tell isn’t it? Have a great day Mette! x
Ohh I’m a follower of Stephanie on Instagram also, isn’t she fabulous. Very exciting you’re going to be taking all these classes at The School. You’ll be on a high all weekend! Look forward to your posts Mel. xx
Thanks Catherine x
Isn’t she fab! Oh to be able to attend one of her classes with Megan-very exciting and I can’t wait to see the results!xx
I will be a bit of serial student – Guillaume and the kids won’t see me for the entire weekend! x
Ha, of course I know her – being one of her many instagram followers… beautiful styling and images. I wish I could take one of her classes. Meanwhile I’ll just stare at her photos and try to learn from them.
Have a great day Lena x
I am a big fan of here too and do read all the times the fab classes she is giving. wish she ‘d come to Europe one day and teach over here too…
Ah you should get in touch with Megan Morton. I’m sure they’d be thinking of doing a European roadshow – any excuse to go to Europe I’m sure!
