INTERIOR TRENDS 2024
The term “Vanilla Girl Aesthetic” pertains to the use of creamy, neutral tones of vanilla. We’re talking about clean lines, padded textures, cozy details and minimal decor. Started on TikTok as a beauty trend, the hashtag #vanillagirl referred to vanilla scented skin cares and nude make ups, translating then in interiors into all-white rooms, scented candles, stylish furniture pieces, soft blankets and warm details.
This aesthetic might be the new Japandi – similar clean and cosy aesthetic, it’s an interesting update to the warm minimalist style.

Vanilla Girl aesthetic the Interior Trend explained
The ‘Vanilla girl’ trend, in reference to our living spaces, is all about soft, muted tones and warm, textured fabrics.
Like other cosy homeware trends, it’s all about being your most comfortable at home, and embracing your love of the little luxuries – such as faux fur throws, chic-looking scented candles, and fluffy slipper. The explanation of this aesthetic comes on one side as a first reaction to the very bold and maximalist aesthetics that have been super hyped on TikTok lately ( see for example the Cluttercore trend ).
On the other, it’s a natural and logical reply to our desired for wellness while staying at home.

What do you think of this aesthetic?
Personally, this aesthetic is one of my favorites among the latest I spotted on TikTok. I also would say there is a reaction already starting, which takes the distances from all the bold and busy decoration we have seen in the last years from the pandemic. What do you think?
