Quarantine made me realize how bland my room was with its minimalist design. In need of change, I turned to TikTok.
Since May, TikTok creators have been showing off their room decor under the hashtag #BedroomCheck. Through transformation videos, users have proven how much a room can change with a simple alteration. From paint stencils to lights, here are some of the most popular wallhacks.
- Spotify Frames
-
The concept of this hack is to provide cute, quick ways to get to your favorite Spotify songs or playlists. With some Mod Podge, Sharpies, and a frame, you can create your custom Spotify decor. You can use any frame to place a Spotify code on, but the most popular version is clear vinyl.

- Colored Lights
-
With Amazon Prime Day approaching, lights are on sale, making this hack even more affordable! Try LED strips for the perfect TikTok room and change the color to match your moods. Fairy lights can make you feel like you are in the middle of an enchanted forest. Or get skylights to go stargazing while staying in the comforts of your room.

- Geometric Wall
-
All you need for this trend is painters tape, brushes, and paint. The tricky part is deciding what shapes you want to make, but other than that, paint away! Paint a base coat before using the tape to create your designs. After you paint over the taped wall, remove the tape to see your finished product! Make sure to let the paint dry before moving to the next step and use different colors to add to the effect.

- Plant Holders
-
Plants can liven up any room, and they deserve to be in a holder equally refreshing. Clear containers provide plants their worlds to live in and give the room a contemporary feel. These holders work for both faux and real plants, so mix and match to your preference.

- Stencils and Grass Walls
-
Sometimes minimal paint is not enough, and that is where stencils and fake grass come into play. A full grass wall or designs like the one shown makes your room pop. You can even use it as a backdrop for photo inspiration.
