If you've been on TikTok or scrolled through Instagram lately, there's a good chance you've seen the new style trend that emerged this summer. Dubbed "avant basic," this kitschy aesthetic features bright colours and funky patterns that are taking over the fashion and home spaces. With psychedelic swirls, bohemian checks, and carefree prints, this style is reminiscent of summers back in the '60s and '70s.

TikTokers who have adopted the aesthetic for their homes are debuting their revamped spaces on the video-sharing app, and the styles are dreamy, to say the least. With geometric, floral, and other optic prints on display, homes are buzzing with bright colours and quirky designs. With inspiration from abstract art, this trend is making home decor more fun and punchy with everything from swirly candles to exquisite coffee tables and more. With colours that range from bright pink, green, and orange to deeper purple, red, and green, these contrasting shades are making a splash in homes, apartments, and dorm rooms everywhere.

If you want to highlight self-expression in your living space, these funky patterns, outward accessories, and psychedelic patterns are all you need to do so.
