The digital landscape has transformed everyone into an armchair architect, sparking a global obsession with how we curate our private sanctuaries.
Lately, the design world has felt like a battlefield between the “less is more” minimalist purists and the “more is more” maximalist rebels. But as the dust settles, one thing is clear: we are collectively witnessing the welcome demise of the bland, neutral, and “beige” era. We are finally moving away from a clinical, sterile aesthetic, – what we might call “cosinessless”-, and returning to interiors with personality, history, and heart. Whether they are world-renowned experts or niche curators of thrifted gems, these five creators offer a refreshing vision for any home, regardless of your square footage.
For Cliff Tan, a room isn’t just a collection of furniture; it’s a living map of energy. His philosophy is simple: no interior can truly be successful without addressing Feng Shui first. As the mastermind behind Dear Modern, Tan has exploded in popularity by demystifying ancient principles for a modern, often cramped, world. His brilliance lies in his accessibility; while high-level consultations are available for those seeking a masterclass, he spends a vast amount of his time on TikTok responding to tagged followers. He tackles real-life “Feng Shui dilemmas”, from awkward bed placements to rooms with too many doors, with a sharp eye and a soothing sense of logic, proving that good design is as much about how a room feels as how it looks.

If you’ve ever found yourself daydreaming about escaping to a sun-drenched villa, Casita MX is your digital gateway. This platform showcases the stunning, often hidden interiors of Mexico City, a world where tiny, unassuming doors open into sprawling, unsuspected villas and glass-walled masterpieces perched on verdant hills. Founded in 2021, the mission of @casitamx is to highlight a side of Mexican architecture and world-class design that few get to experience. They bridge the gap between inspiration and reality: you can scroll through their feed for aesthetic cues, but you can also rent these incredible properties for a short-term stay or even purchase one. It is a celebration of light, shadow, and the vibrant architectural soul of Mexico.

Proof that influence isn’t measured solely by follower counts, Silkworthhouse (with a dedicated community of around 8k on TikTok) is a treasure trove for those who appreciate the “beautifully made.” There is a deep-seated passion here for objects with a history, focusing on treasures from the past that still feel relevant today.

It’s an essential follow for anyone who believes that the right object can change the entire mood of a room.

Roni, the creative force behind Maison du Faubourg, describes her aesthetic as one for the “collectors, lovers of romanticism, and old souls.” Her feed is a journey through the vintage markets and hidden ateliers of the South of France, Italy, and across Europe. Roni specializes in the “art of the detail,” teaching her followers that true luxury and character are found in the small things. Whether she’s offering tips on how to elevate a bathroom from functional to chic or suggesting specific “investment” details, like ornate door handles, vintage wooden checkerboards, or elegant chafing dishes, her advice is always centered on adding layers of history and texture to the home.

This one is a real favorite, for he makes us live in his all-year “The Holiday” movie cottage and makes us so jealous of his bright ideas at the same time. Because indeed, there are thousands of “experts” of DIY on the internet, from all over the world, but Jack really has a golden skill in his hands. As an award-winning designer, he manages to blend the grandeur of traditional design with a gritty, modern sensibility, often feeling like a love letter to craftsmanship and “stately home” drama. Whether he is transforming a period property or sharing his latest garden overhaul, Jack proves that a home should be a reflection of your own creative hands, making his vision both aspirational and deeply personal.
@jackkinsey_ ad Here’s to a little love story… 📖 🌹 I’ve been collecting beautiful old books for our library (complete with a secret door), and it’s been so special filling the shelves with stories waiting to be read. Some of them are a little too damaged to keep, so instead of letting them go to waste, I repurposed one into an early Valentine’s arrangement. Folding the pages into sculptural pockets for tiny test tubes, then filling it with the sweetest mix of roses, from soft peach and blush pink to the tiniest little red blooms. A perfect upcycled gift for Valentine’s Day, romantic, thoughtful, and made with love 💘 In collaboration with @plantsflowersfoundation #ValentinesFlowers #FlowerCouncilOfHolland #UpcycledDecor #FloralStyling ♬ original sound – Jack Kinsey
