Save to Find It Later!

If you’re into that warm, vintage aesthetic, these highlight covers are going to fit right in with your profile. I put together one full set using soft brown and beige tones, filled with cozy, old-school style icons. It’s the kind of look that feels calm and timeless, and it gives your Instagram that subtle vintage vibe without trying too hard.

I kept the designs minimal—just clean shapes, muted tones, and soft textures that blend well with neutral feeds. You won’t find anything too loud here, just a relaxed, cohesive style that still stands out in a quiet way. Whether your highlights are for travel, daily life, or something more creative, this set will give them a little extra polish.

Brown & Beige Vintage Highlight Covers

This set includes items like old books, teacups, retro cameras, dried flowers, and a few vintage-inspired symbols. The soft browns and creams make everything feel warm and cozy without clashing with the rest of your feed. It’s a great option if you love neutrals or want something a little more classic-looking.

How To Use These Covers On Instagram

Start by saving the image—tap and hold on your phone (or right-click on desktop) to add it to your camera roll or downloads.

To crop it into a circle, open the image in Canva and use one of their circular frames, then download it again. Or just zoom in and crop around the circle directly from your phone’s photo app—it’s fast and works just fine.

To add it to your profile, head to Instagram, press and hold any highlight, choose “Edit Highlight,” tap “Edit Cover,” and upload the new image.

And just like that, your profile has that vintage touch that makes it feel styled but still relaxed.
