Nowadays, it seems virtually impossible to imagine a life without TikTok. How would we find the coolest new home decor items before they sell out? Where else would we get to sit on the sidelines of some truly spine-tingling, real-life home horrors? And wouldn't we miss seeing easy, peasy design hacks in action? Well, it's a little more complicated than that.
The social media platform has no shortage of content creators offering their two cents on DIY ideas and decorating theories—but it's not always received with the same generosity of spirit. A lot of videos are met with personal skepticism and vitriol in the comments section from viewers, and, of course, a little bit of shade from seasoned designers. But sometimes, if you look hard enough, you'll find a TikTok trend that's not only expert-approved, but is also a hack that decorators actually use in their projects. In the spirit of learning something new, we tapped top interior designers to share the viral Tik Tok hacks they actually, secretly love, from unexpected pops of color to failsafe ways to hang a frame. Take it from them, these hacks will have you decorating like the pros in no time.

1
Hanging Hack
A picture might be worth 100 words, but the drama of actually hanging your frame is not so, well, picturesque. Fortunately, blogger Kimberly Emery streamlined a potentially painful process with...wait for it...painter's tape. Simply measure out your frame with tape and apply the same strip to your wall to make sure everything is centered. "Ever since seeing this video, it's my go-to way to hang pictures and mirrors," says Drew Michael Scott of Lone Fox. "So easy and gets the job done perfectly."

Creative Countertop
In the interior design world, painting your countertops can be a hot-button issue. But this clip from Kensie Porterfield of Decor8 The Hill proves a fresh coat can go a long way toward refreshing—rather than replacing—a tired countertop. Turns out, some designers are totally on-board with this idea, too! "I used this hack to take my boring 1980s kitchen countertops to the next level while still remaining in my budget," designer Amanda Foster shares. "It's great for newbies and doesn’t take a lot of supplies to achieve this fresh look."

Luxe Lighting
Looking to spruce up your space without breaking the bank? Foster swears by these light pucks, which she found through TikToker Lex Nicoleta. The battery powered, remote-controlled light bulb alternatives (shaped, as you might imagine, like hockey pucks) allow you to hang sconces where you don't have wiring. "The options are endless for the lamp shade you choose, whether it's dark and sophisticated to bright and funky," Foster says. "This instantly makes your home feel more put together and modern." A budget-friendly lighting idea where you don't have to deal with superfluous wires and cables? We're sold!

Seeing Red
The design tides have surely changed since Mr. Big famously painted a red accent wall in his New York digs. In a viral video series, interior designer Taylor Migliazzo Simon proves that the fiery shade went from what Carrie called "a good idea in theory, but somehow it doesn't quite work" to a core decorating color.
"Love the 'unexpected red' decor trick, which entails adding a pop of red to any space to make it feel chic and interesting," says Molly Torres Portnof of DATE Interiors. "I didn't realize that I often do this in projects, whether it’s adding a piece of art, throw pillow or rug with red accents, until I saw it on TikTok.”

Dapper Drapes
Well-appointed window treatments can give any room in the house a polished edge, but keeping them looking sharp can be a challenge. This is exactly why Jeralyn Conklin devised the idea of "training" your drapes. This hack requires you to fold your drapes into pleats and loosely tie a string or ribbon to hold them together. It's easy and the results look oh-so-good.
"Training your drapery is one of my favorite tips to keep your pleats looking defined and beautiful," says Haley Weidenbaum, an interior designer and founder of customer window treatment brand Everhem. "I like to tie the drapes in two to three spots to ensure the pleats are defined at the top, bottom, and throughout. Let sit for 48 hours to a few days and voilà!"
