There’s hardly a day that goes by when I’m not scrolling through Pinterest and Instagram, saving endless inspiration for all areas of life. While cooking and recipes are often top of my list, there’s one corner of social media I’m completely obsessed with: home decor.
I’m planning to buy a house within the next year, and my saved folder is overflowing with dreamy home inspiration—like I’m planning out a luxurious mansion on an unlimited budget. Hey, a girl can dream, right?
As I scroll and dream about the house I hope to create one day, I’ve picked up on some key home design trends dominating social media. The best part? You don’t need a sprawling home or a big budget to embrace these styles. With a little resourcefulness, anyone can make these trends work—even in a small apartment.
Here are seven of the most popular home decor trends on Instagram right now—and how to bring them into your own space:
Statement Walls
Wallpaper is back in a big way, and bold accent walls are stealing the show. Whether you want to transform a plain wall or highlight an awkward corner, peel-and-stick wallpaper is the perfect solution for renters and commitment-phobes alike.
Rattan and Wicker Accents
Natural textures like rattan, wicker, and raffia are still going strong. They add warmth and character without overwhelming a space. For a chic and understated look, incorporate smaller pieces like baskets, poufs, wall hangings, or a single standout furniture item.
Arched Mirrors
Mirrors are a go-to for making a room feel larger, but arched mirrors add an extra touch of style. Whether it’s a full-length design for outfit checks or a smaller version for your entryway, these mirrors are a guaranteed Instagram hit.
Layered Art
Layered art is a versatile trend that lets you create a curated, ever-changing display. Instead of hanging everything on the wall, use floating shelves to combine art prints, small mirrors, plants, and decor. It’s an easy way to add depth and personality to any room.
Unique Accent Chairs
Statement chairs are having a major moment, bringing personality to corners and empty spaces. Mid-century modern designs or quirky flea market finds can add charm without breaking the bank.
Round Pedestal Tables
For those of us with smaller spaces, round pedestal tables are a game-changer. They create a functional and stylish dining area, and if space isn’t an issue, they’re perfect for a cozy breakfast nook that’s totally Instagram-worthy.
Light and Bright Bedrooms
Dreamy, serene bedrooms are all over Instagram, showcasing light neutrals, linen bedding, and plush textures. Recreate the look with lightweight sheets, soft duvets, and cozy throws for the ultimate bedtime oasis.
Which of these trends speaks to you the most? I’d love to hear how you’re planning to bring them into your home!
