Whether you have TikTok or not, you can’t ignore the platform’s influence on every retail industry. Dance trends may come and go on TikTok in less than a week, but when it comes to the design industry, some trends have staying power.
Several design trends have caught our eye in the past few months. We’ve rounded up our favorite TikTok trends below and paired them with some furniture selections from Joss and Main to illustrate each style. With furniture ranging from classic to contemporary, Joss and Main is the perfect all-rounder if you’re in the process of decorating your home.

A trend that’s all about what makes you happy—what could be better? Barbiecore has passed the baton to dopamine decor, the joyful, playful new design style taking over TikTok. Think bold color-drenched walls, whimsical artwork, and soft, luxurious upholstery that instantly lifts the spirit.

Cottagecore
Inspired by life in the English countryside, cottagecore is another feel-good design style we can’t get enough of. It combines nostalgia and simplicity, including vintage furniture, warm wood, floral prints, and cozy textiles. With this timeless style, you can create an inviting atmosphere that celebrates quiet moments and the beauty of nature.

Grand Millennial
The grand millennial trend is a fun, whimsical take on traditional design elements. It is based on a resurgence of the design styles our grandmothers loved. Chintz fabrics, bows, scalloped details, linen, and embroidery are all part of this millennial-favorite trend.
Scandi Maximalism
Forget scandi minimalism—we’ve moved onto something even bigger: scandi maximalism. This style takes the minimalist elements from scandi minimalism and exaggerates them, creating more of a statement. For example, you might fill an entire wall with black-and-white minimalist artwork. This trend also makes room for earth tones, whereas Scandi minimalism tends to shy away from color.

Sunken Living Room
This isn’t an entire design style, but it is a trend we’ve loved lately. Also called ‘conversation pits,’ the sunken living room trend first became popular in the ‘70s but has had a recent surge in popularity. Typically, a sunken living room is a relatively small area within a larger living room that is positioned below floor level. A large sectional sofa often takes up the majority of the space in this area, accompanied by a coffee table and other furniture.
Farmhouse
We’ve discussed the farmhouse design style before, and it’s a trend that we don’t see going anywhere anytime soon. Inspired by rural America and the simple joys of living in the countryside, this style creates a relaxing home environment that emphasizes gathering together. Rustic charm meets bright, airy simplicity in the farmhouse style, which is defined by the use of distressed finishes, natural materials, and vintage pieces.

Cluttercore
Perhaps the most fun trend is the cluttercore trend, which isn’t as bad as it sounds. It’s less about clutter and more about choosing decor that brings you joy, even pieces that don’t necessarily go together. It is an extreme form of eclecticism where you can mix and match your favorite styles and layer different colors, patterns, and textures. More is more in the world of cluttercore!
