Given their focus on aesthetics and tutorials, Instagram and TikTok have become natural platforms for decorating professionals and enthusiasts to share picture-perfect rooms and detailed DIYs, often capturing—and frequently leading—the biggest interior design trends.
As of late, it’s a virtual and visual world in which painted arches and peel-and-stick wallpaper prevail, sleek, straight lines are blurred, and mid-century modern takes the backseat to wavy, Art Deco accents (bonus points if it’s a video and your favorite tunes are playing in the background).
From sculptural furniture to statement tiles (and those bendy candles you have to see in action!), read on as we break down 10 spring 2021 decor trends that are taking over our feeds and homes. Feeling inspired? Browse more unexpected decorating ideas.
Prefer just a pop? Opt for a statement arch (also known as the new statement wall). It’s one of the easiest ways to frame your favorite fixtures—doorways, desks, bar carts, dressers, and beds are among the more common—and add dimension to a room. The optical illusion can be created with the help of some painter’s tape and a little imagination (TikTokers recommend applying a base layer first to avoid bleed-through). Take the minimalist route with light grays and slates, earthy with stuccos and leafy greens, or mod with bold brights.
