6 Trendy Decor Items to Achieve the TikTok Bedroom of Your Dreams
Anytime we see those slideshows of bedrooms on TikTok, we immediately want to remove all our furniture and start from scratch. They're perfect—they always have that hazy, dreamlike lighting and super comfy blankets and chairs that make you want to live in your bedroom forever.
Unfortunately, it's unrealistic for most of us to do a complete redo to get those iconic TikTok bedrooms, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to recreate the vibes at home. Below, we've found some of the key pieces of decor we see in all the viral rooms.
Squishmallows: $15.99+
Squishmallows are a girl's best friend. We'd know because we have nearly 50 of them.
Once you buy your first Squishmallow, you won't stop. Besides being adorable decor, they are the softest and "squishiest" pillow you'll ever own. And because they've expanded so much, you'll often find ones in collaboration with your favorite pop culture phenomenons. For example, there are so many Sanrio ones, and we've even seen some Harry Potter and Marvel Squishmallows.

Abstract & Cartoon Rugs: $30+
We can't be the only one who sees all those rug-tufting videos. Without a doubt, these content creators are making the most intricate designs we've ever seen, usually of a famous character, like Pikachu or Kirby, or witty phrases. Lately, we're seeing them pop up in people's room decor. These rugs are usually handmade and can be pricy, but they can really add edgy, youthful energy to your room.
Hanging Vines: $4.99+
Hanging vines are a staple to every aesthetic room. They always make a room look cozy, especially paired with twinkling fairy lights. And the best part about them is that the majority of the time, they're fake, so, go crazy! Place them along the border of your ceiling, let them hang loose or outline your favorite wall decoration or doors with them.
Oversized Bean Bags: $69.97+
You don't know heaven until you flop down on a giant, fluffy bean bag chair.
Bean bag chairs seem to have skyrocketed in popularity over the past year, but we're glad they're returning because sitting is more fun in one. That said, they can also be a quick way to make your room look elevated without breaking the bank. We recommend the neutral or pastel, fuzzy ones!

Decorative (but Functional) Throw Blankets: $12.00+
Whenever we want to zhuzh up our bedding, we drape a throw blanket across our bed. It's an easy way to add another layer to your room and make it look lived in, in the best way possible. Plus, there's a lot of versatility here. You can get a simple blanket to pair with fun covers, or you can find one with a crazy design to spice up your plain bedding. And there's a variety of textures, from sherpa to cotton and chenille.
Ambient Lights: $10.99+
Of course, no viral TikTok bedroom would be complete without ambient lighting. As we previously alluded to, our favorite type of aesthetic lighting is twinkling fairy lights. They add warmth to your room, probably because the effect resembles a fireplace. If that's not your speed, you can also try the colorful LED light strips or the space lights, or combine two types of lights!
