How TikTok Changed the Way We Decorate Our Homes

TikTok used to be all dance trends and lip-syncs—now, it's telling us what color to paint our living rooms. If you’ve ever found yourself deep in a #HomeTok rabbit hole, mentally rearranging your shelves or wondering if you need a vintage mushroom lamp, you’re not alone. TikTok has completely flipped the script on home decor, turning casual scrollers into self-taught interior stylists, one algorithm-approved video at a time.

1. Viral Decor = Instant Influence

Remember when checkerboard rugs, cloud couches, or "boob lights" suddenly popped up everywhere? That wasn’t a coincidence—it was TikTok. Trends that once took months to trickle down from design magazines now explode overnight, thanks to creators turning their bedrooms into aesthetic goldmines.

2. Home is Now a Personal Brand

On TikTok, your space isn’t just where you live—it’s a reflection of your vibe. Whether it's cottagecore, Scandi-minimalism, or “clean girl meets chaotic creative,” your room tour says more about you than your bio ever could. And let’s be real, we’re all kind of curating for the camera now.

3. DIY Culture Got a Glow-Up

TikTok made DIY cool again—except now, it’s less glue-gun, more power tools and peel-and-stick magic. From IKEA hacks to transforming rental kitchens with contact paper and patience, users are proving that style doesn’t have to come with a designer price tag.
