Most engaging interior design brands on Instagram

If the number of followers gets our attention, what really matter is the engagement rate.

The engagement rate shows an average amount of how often a fan interacts with the posts of a page. It is a metric used to calculate the level of engagement generated from created content or a brand campaign.

It is calculated by dividing the daily amount of likes, comments and shares by the number of fans. It provides an accurate representation of content performance than simply looking at individual absolute measures such as the number of likes, comments, shares, etc. It is a more comprehensive metric even if it is unable to evaluate the value of an interaction.

We calculated the latest 3 month engagement rate of 100 of the most popular interior design brands on Instagram. As you can see thread are many design brands that not appears amongst the top 50.

Most engaging funriture and lighting brands on Instagram with the highest post interaction  

Not all the brands are daily active, therefore it's interesting even to evaluate the weight and the effect of each single post. The post interaction shows how active the fans engage with a post of a page.

It shows the average amount of all interactions (likes, shares, comments) for each fan per post. As opposed to the Engagement Rate, the Post Interaction ignores days without any posts.
