TikTok isn’t just a place where people watch entertaining videos, from viral dances to pop-culture moments, it’s where many go to feel inspired and get new ideas.
Home design videos have seen significant growth, with users turning to the platform to discover the latest trends for their home renovation projects.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re an active user or not, it’s always good to be aware of what’s popular when choosing new designs and features for your property. After all, renovating and decorating your house can increase the value of your property by 3%-5%, while smaller changes can help you craft your own personal style for your home.
So, whether you’re an avid user or a TikTok novice, here are the 5 biggest TikTok home design trends you need to know about.
1. Create a warm glow with candles
With the nights long and dark in January, now is the time to begin looking at ways to make your home warmer and cosier. What better way to create that ambience than with candles?
According to National World, candles are the most popular home design trend of winter 2025, with around two million posts on TikTok. Discovered by the experts at Cinch Home Services, this isn’t just a one-time fad, candles are a yearly tradition for most households during this time of the year.
Candles will take you right through the winter months, with scents such as soft cotton and lavender being the perfect addition to your space for the spring and summer months.
Some of the leading candle trends include:
Be more sustainable with refillable candles
Refillable candles are low-waste and have a long-lasting guarantee. As a result, they are an emerging trend among environmentally conscious consumers. Check out this video to learn more.
Go for homemade instead
Now it’s the new year, are you looking for a relaxing hobby with a rewarding end result? Then it’s time to start making your own candles. Not only are they simple and quick to make, but they can be cheaper in the long run. They also give you more freedom to create your favourite smells whenever you want.
2. Bring earthy tones with bouquets and flowers
From the same Cinch Home Services study, bouquets came out as the second most popular home design trend this winter. And what’s not to like about a good bouquet?
Regardless of whether you choose real or faux flowers, they will really help to make your home feel more natural. They are also a great centrepiece when placed at the heart of your home.
Here are just some ways in which you can introduce bouquets into your space:
Make your own display
For those feeling extra creative, why not make your own bouquet? Head down to your local florists and pick a colour scheme that will suit the look and feel of your home.
Celebrate all year round with faux flowers
Want that floral look and style that lasts all year round? Why not go for a faux flower bouquet? Not only can this be more cost-effective, but they can still bring a sense of elegance to your space.
3. Brighten your home with statement lighting
Statement lighting has really grown popular in recent years. They not only help to create functional light but also add an interesting character to your space. Going for more unique lighting can command the attention of anyone who visits your home.
Whether you’re thinking of choosing a chandelier, a floor lamp, or even a smaller decorative lamp, your choice of lighting can really help to transform any space within your home.
Get inspired by modern designs
There are many different designs you can choose to really add that extra wow factor to your home. This video shows multiple modern statement lamps that are guaranteed to spark conversations with guests.
Consider farmhouse styles to bring warmth
Your living room is the ideal place to choose a statement light that will really turn heads. Adopting farmhouse styles, which include woven or more natural materials, can add a more rustic look to your space.
4. Choose style and elegance with herringbone floors
Herringbone floors aren’t just a popular TikTok fad, they’ve been a highly desired feature of any home for centuries. This patterned flooring is composed of rectangle floor tiling to create a zigzag pattern. Herringbone floors somehow balance modern and contemporary strokes, with a fully classic aesthetic.
Beyond just the visual appeal, their benefits extend to adding value to your home. Back in 2022, it was discovered that they can add up to £5,000 to your property.
With all this in mind, here are some herringbone floor videos you need to watch:
Consider click lock flooring
Some herringbone flooring doesn’t even require glue as part of the installation. The video below shows how the tiles can be clicked together for an easier fitting, while still possessing that timeless look.
Stain your flooring
Want to add further elegance to your herringbone flooring? Consider staining them to enhance their natural features, all while protecting the material from damage. It can also add a sense of drama to any room within your home.
5. Go contemporary with modern designs
One of the most popular designs for modern homes is embracing the contemporary. Modern design often encompasses sleek, minimalistic tones to create something calming, functional, and classy. These aesthetics also look to integrate natural light within your space, to increase the look, feel, and size of your rooms.
Here are just a few ways in which you can get that modern aesthetic:
Adopt an accent wall
An accent or feature wall helps to create a real focal point for your room, all while impressing any visitors that you host. It simply refers to a wall that is a different colour, texture, or material compared with other walls within the room, adding a sense of character to your space.
Control light with shutters
Want an attractive window fitting that can actually help you to control and maximise natural light? Look no further than shutters. Full height shutters add a luxurious feel to your space and can be made to measure to fit any window shape. They can also be paired with vintage or modern looking rooms to fit any home naturally.
Shutters: A trend that never goes out of fashion
Now that you’re aware of the latest home design trends that people are embracing, it’s time to put it into action. Alongside candles, bouquets, herringbone flooring, and statement lighting, shutters can help to create that modern and classic look for your home that you truly desire.
