Top Interior Trends from Social Media (TikTok & Instagram)

By Furniture Direct Malaysia

Wondering why your feed is full of boucle chairs, LED strips, or checkerboard rugs? These interior trends from social media are shaping the way Malaysian homes look and feel—especially among Gen Z and Millennials.

1. Japandi Minimalism

Combining Scandinavian and Japanese styles, Japandi is calm, clutter-free, and functional. It’s a TikTok favorite for its soothing tones and simple furniture lines—perfect for urban apartments in Malaysia.

2. Cottagecore & Soft Vintage

Instagram has popularised romantic, nostalgic styles like Cottagecore, filled with floral prints, antique finishes, and cozy corners. Try rattan furniture or lace curtains to embrace this aesthetic.

3. LED Mood Lighting

LED light strips behind headboards or shelves add a dreamy, futuristic glow—often featured in TikTok “room transformation” videos. Affordable and easy to install, they’re ideal for renters too.

4. Maximalist Shelves & Wall Art

Gallery walls, styled bookshelves, and bold art pieces are all over Instagram. This trend encourages self-expression and is perfect for DIY lovers who want personality-packed spaces.

5. Sustainable & Thrifted Decor

Eco-conscious influencers are inspiring Malaysians to upcycle, reuse, and choose furniture made from sustainable materials like bamboo, reclaimed wood, or organic fabrics.
