33 Aesthetic Room Ideas for a Trendy Space (2)

Aesthetic rooms are having a major moment. Popular especially among TikTok users, aesthetic rooms are characterized by the presence of greenery (think plants or hanging vines, both real or faux); muted colors (neutrals and pinks are most common); and fun light fixtures (like LED strands or string lights).

What Does "Aesthetic" Mean?

The term "aesthetic," when used in the decor examples featured on TikTok, Instagram, and other image-based websites, refers to any attractive room style that makes use of personal touches that are also on-trend.

For TikTok and Instagram enthusiasts, "aesthetic" can apply to a room of any style—from cottagecore to indie or postmodern—but personal expression and trend-setter timeliness will always be just as important as the classic standards for visual appeal.

"Personal expression plays a major role in what is deemed aesthetic, as there are so many different design styles to draw from," TikTok user and design enthusiast Emily Shaw says. Many aesthetic rooms also incorporate personal touches like photo collages, printed photographs, and art prints.

Looking to bring the trend into your own space? Look no further than the aesthetic bedrooms below.

    When in doubt, try an accent wall. This pale pink adds warmth in an otherwise neutral bedroom. Plants are a key component of aesthetic rooms, and what better way to display them than on a floating shelf? Dried pampas grass is also a glam touch and will last much longer than a traditional bouquet of flowers, making it a low-maintenance fave.

    Candles are also a must for any aesthetic room, whether they're real or battery operated. Scatter a few on your nightstand, dresser, desk, or anywhere else that could use a little bit of ambiance. If you have a nonworking fireplace in your room, you can always fill the insert with candles as well to fake the look of a roaring fire.

    33 Aesthetic Room Ideas for a Trendy Space (35)

A statement mirror, neon sign, or curvy chair—or all of the above—will certainly do the trick.
