Where else would we go to keep up with the latest trends if not TikTok? As the app takes over our lives, it’s no surprise it's now moving in and redecorating our homes too. Whether you’re embracing the cosy vibe of warm minimalism or cringing at last year’s home decor 'icks', TikTok is driving all things interior design in 2024. Here are the most viral design trends of 2024 - do you think they’re here to stay?

Quiet Luxury Continues

If you thought the buzz around 'quiet luxury' would fade away after 2023, think again. It's still the top trending term on TikTok in 2024. To elevate this aesthetic, focus on premium materials like marble and timber, and layer in rich-toned blankets and cushions to add depth. It’s not about a specific style but rather a polished, refined vibe that speaks volumes through subtlety.

Embrace Warm Minimalism

Warm minimalism blends the clean, streamlined look of minimalism with a comforting, cosy touch. It sticks to the "less is more" mantra, but swaps out stark whites and greys for earthy hues like soft beiges, browns, and muted terracottas. Soft lighting enhances the welcoming feel, while furniture is sleek, functional, and timeless. The result? A calm, uncluttered space that still feels warm and inviting.

Vintage Is In Vogue

Just like raiding your wardrobe for a style refresh, 2024 is all about shopping your own home. TikTok is full of tips on how to restyle what you already own and source vintage or preloved treasures. It’s a mindful and authentic way to breathe new life into your space without contributing to fast-consumption trends.

The Art Of Slow Decorating

In a world of fast trends, slow decorating is gaining traction. This thoughtful approach encourages you to choose items for your home with care and intention and to opt for pieces that will not only fit your space now but also grow with you over time. It’s about gradually building a home filled with things you truly love, for the long haul, and we have to say we hope this trend is here to stay!

Forget What’s In, This Is What’s Out

The internet has turned its attention to "home decor icks," much like the viral dating term. TikTok creators are calling out interior design trends that have lost their appeal, and the list includes colour-coded bookshelves, TVs disguised as art, retro-style appliances, accent walls, quirky art prints, all white interiors and grommet curtains. It’s all about what’s out in 2024.

Statement Lighting Is Here To Stay

Why settle for basic lighting when you can make a statement? Statement lighting has been one of 2024’s standout trends, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. A bold light fixture can transform a neutral room with minimal effort, and with a variety of styles and price points available, it’s an easy upgrade. Plus, renters can get in on the trend, as long as they swap out the fixture when they move out.

Dive Into Colour Drenching

Colour drenching is an easy and bold way to refresh any space. What is colour drenching, you may ask? Choose a single hue that resonates with you and apply it generously across walls, furniture, and accessories. Expect this trend to take on a darker, moodier palette as we move into the year.

Wallpaper Makes A Comeback

Wallpaper has made a strong resurgence and will continue to dominate in 2024. It’s being used in unexpected places, such as kitchens and bathrooms, adding character to these functional spaces. Whether it’s a pop of colour behind open shelving or a bold print in a breakfast nook, wallpaper is adding life to homes in fresh and exciting ways.

Cottagecore Is Still Cute

If your feed is overflowing with idyllic countryside scenes, floral prints, and rustic bread-making, you’ve likely stumbled into the world of Cottagecore. Still one of TikTok's favorite aesthetics, this trend romanticises rural living with a focus on artisanal craftsmanship—think woodworking, ceramics, embroidery, and vintage textiles. It’s a charming throwback to simpler times that continues to inspire.
