Pick one cover style
All line icons, all photos or all flat colours. Mixing styles is the quickest way to lose the look.
Use lowercase if your bio does
The highlight row should match your bio's case, so the profile feels deliberate.
Keep cover colours to three
Choose three shades from your feed and repeat them. A row of matching circles looks designed.

Questions

What size is best for aesthetic covers?

Instagram crops covers into a circle, so design a square with your icon in the centre and a wide margin.

Do aesthetic names help reach?

They don't change reach. They change how your profile feels once someone visits, which is when they decide to follow.

How long should an aesthetic highlight name be?

One short word is best. Instagram shows around 15 characters under a highlight circle before it cuts the name, so long names lose their ending.

Should highlight names match my cover icons?

Yes. A neutral cover with a lowercase name looks calm and tidy; mixing bright icons with soft names breaks the look of the profile.

Can I rename a highlight later?

Yes. Open the highlight, tap the three dots, choose Edit highlight and change the name or the cover; the stories inside stay where they are.
