With TikTok catering to every niche, it’s no surprise its popularity is only continuing to grow.  Interior design is one such niche, with designers taking to the platform to showcase their work. The tag #interiordesign is now boasting over 5.9 billion views on the social media video clip app.

 

This inspired the home insurance experts at money.co.uk to discover which of TikTok’s most viewed interior design trends have made the biggest impact in our homes this year. They analyzed the number of google searches from January 2021 and compared them to the present (June 2021) to determine which trend has increased in popularity most.

Methodology 

  1. Firstly, money.co.uk made a list of the most popular and well-known interior design trends using multiple online sources, like Adorable Home and Luxdeco
  2. They then analysed each interior design trend on TikTok to discover which had the highest volume of views. A variation of each trend was used to make sure the hashtag with the highest views was chosen (e.g., #UrbanDesign #UrbanDecor). 
  3. With a finalised top 10 list of the most popular interior design trends on TikTok, money.co.uk input each trend into SEMrush to compare the number of average monthly searches from January 2021 and this month (June 2021). 
  4. The percentage increase between both dates was calculated and each trend was then ranked to demonstrate which was proven to be the most popular. 

*All data was collated on 28/06/20 and is subject to change.
