The Interior Trends TikTok Keeps Bringing Back

If there is one thing TikTok has taught us, it is that nothing ever truly dies, not even interior design trends. From cottagecore revivals to Barbiecore dreams, the FYP keeps resurrecting styles faster than you can say “Is that sustainable?”

We have a front-row seat to these digital trend resurgences. Here are the ones TikTok just cannot quit and how to make them work in real life, even if your landlord insists on neutral walls only.

Grandmillennial, but make it modern

TikTok asks “Grandma’s house?” but also answers “Grand but with a twist.” Think ornate lamps, heirloom vibes, and needle-point cushions that somehow look stylish. It is like if Downton Abbey and The Crown had a baby who became a lifestyle guru.

Bring in statement pieces without feeling stuffy. Think the Model 04 sofa, statement armchairs, and nifty console tables. Mix textures and patterns to create a curated, modern-grandmillennial look.

Cottagecore (with or without fairies)

TikTok has made us fall in love with hand-painted mugs, wilted florals, and rustic charm. Cottagecore is all about meadow vibes over city vibes, cosy, and endlessly.

Soft earthy tones, woven textures, and natural materials are key. A wooden coffee table, textured cushion, or cosy throw brings the countryside vibe into a stylish flat or home.

Barbiecore pink confidence

TikTok says “Barbie made me do it,” and we are not mad. Hot pink sofas, bubblegum throws, and bold accent chairs are unapologetically bright.

Pair bold hues like our bold sofas, rugs, and loveseats with neutrals to keep your room looking like a Barbie dreamhouse. Barbiecore is about fun, confidence, and personality.

Japandi minimal calm

Japandi is minimalism with warmth. TikTok calls it hygge elevated. Warm woods, pared-back palettes, and functional furniture create a zen retreat in your living room.

Try the Model 16 Sofa with a table lamp and subtle side table. Add soft cushions to finish a clean, calm aesthetic.

Turntable chic

TikTok single-handedly revived the turntable. It is satisfying to watch vinyl spin. Place your turntable on a low media console with curated accessories to make it part of the room, not just a gadget.

Opt for a TV unit, sleek sideboard, or trusty storage ottoman. Vinyl and furniture combine to create a stylish, timeless corner in any home.

Make TikTok trends work for you

You don't have to copy every trend. The key is to make it intentional. Whether you're after colour inspiration, personality-forward furniture, or pieces that impress flatmates, We've got you covered.
