When it comes to keeping a pulse on the coolest brands from around the globe, we've discovered yet another source of untapped inspo: Fashion accounts on Instagram. And while the app is, arguably, the destination for zoning in on the latest trends in clothing, food, travel, and interior design, with just a little digging, it's also an amazing channel through which to identify under-the-radar home décor brands—at least here in the U.S.—via the eyes of seasoned fashionistas based in faraway places.

They're editors, influencers, stylists, and entrepreneurs—and we're just as interested in learning where they found the artwork hanging in their apartments as who and what they're wearing. Low-grade stalking aside, we've come to know that fashion-forward influencers, such as Australia-born Brooke Testoni and London-based Freddie Harrel, clearly also have the knack for spotting the best furniture and home décor brands from here, across the pond, and beyond.

From vintage spots to online-only, high-end shops, we're completely obsessed with these 24 international home furnishings brands—and we have six fashion "it girls" to thank. (No stress: We've converted all price tags to USD, so you don't have to.)

Brooke Testoni

Brooke Testoni is a seriously fashionable stylist, writer, producer, and creative director. We totally trust her for styling advice (she has spent over a decade in the fashion biz), but her Instagram account has us admiring her interior design choices, too. She'll often post images of her own home in addition to interiors by other designers. We discovered these brands from her tagged posts.

Full of unusual objects, such as this golden, cast iron dish, we can see why Williams is such a fan of the brand.
