Call it a survival instinct to be accepted by the tribe (or vanity or whatever), but there's something insanely satisfying about seeing "Like" notifications blow up on our phones. As any Instagram megastar will tell you, this simple self-esteem booster can require serious scenery scouting in order create the most visually stunning (and double tap-worthy) feed.

In addition to incredibly photogenic floors, LA is a never-ending source of 'grammable gold. To help you have the most beautifully documented year ever, we've updated our previous roundup of photoshoot spots with a few more colorful locales. From Paul Smith's ever-popular pink wall to Miley Cyrus-faved artist Jen Stark's drippy mural at Culver City's soon-to-open Platform, see over 15 stellar walls, street art, and more brilliant backdrops below.
