If you've been on TikTok or scrolled through Instagram lately, there's a good chance you've seen some of the new style trends that have emerged this summer. Dubbed “avant basics,” this kitschy aesthetic features bright colors and funky patterns and is taking over fashion and home spaces. With psychedelic swirls, bohemian checks, and carefree prints, this style is reminiscent of the 60's and 70's summers.
TikTokers who have taken this aesthetic into their homes are debuting their revamped spaces on the video-sharing app, and the style is dreamy to say the least. Geometric patterns, floral patterns, and other optical prints are on display, and the home is buzzing with bright colors and whimsical designs. Inspired by abstract art, this trend uses everything from swirly candles to exquisite coffee tables to make home decor more fun and punchy. With colors ranging from bright pinks, greens, and oranges to deep purples, reds, and greens, these contrasting hues are sure to grab attention in any home, apartment, or dorm room.
If you want to emphasize self-expression in your living space, these funky patterns, appearance accessories and psychedelic patterns are all you need. Check out these TikTok videos for the best inspiration for giving your home an avant-basic style. Are you ready for a flashback to the past?
