One trend that’s made its way from #FashionTok to interior design is the clean girl aesthetic. This design philosophy, which has over one billion views on TikTok, embraces simplicity, elegance, and a serene atmosphere, making it ideal for those seeking modern minimalism at home. To help you achieve this look, we consulted with interior stylists Tiffany Ng-Spann and Shaye Ford from Miss Amara, who shared their expert tips. What is the Clean Girl Aesthetic? If you’re not already familiar with it on social media, the clean girl aesthetic, defined by sleek hair, a polished wardrobe, and natural makeup, translates seamlessly into interior design. In the home, this look champions minimalism, with a focus on neutral tones and quality materials. It’s not just about decluttering but about curating spaces where every element is purposeful and beautiful. Shaye Ford notes that the goal is to craft an environment that feels open, balanced, and free of excess ornamentation. “This approach highlights the intrinsic beauty of the design elements themselves, allowing for a harmonious living space,” she explains. Minimalism at its Core Minimalism lies at the heart of the clean girl aesthetic. Think clean lines, geometric shapes, and a neutral colour palette. Whites, creams, and beiges dominate, creating a calming, airy atmosphere. Tiffany Ng-Spann highlights that this aesthetic is meant to feel fresh, serene, and subtly feminine, with each piece carefully chosen for its simplicity and functionality. Materials and Texture Natural materials like wood, linen, cotton, and rattan are key to this trend, adding warmth and texture. These elements create an organic feel, complementing the minimalist approach. Furniture pieces should be sleek and uncomplicated, prioritising function over form. While minimalism is central, a touch of depth can be added with subtle patterns or textures, such as geometric shapes or soft florals. Incorporating greenery with indoor plants adds vibrancy and life to the space without disrupting the calm atmosphere. Lighting and Ambience Natural light plays a crucial role in achieving the clean girl aesthetic. Maximise sunlight with sheer curtains that allow light to flow in softly. At night, opt for subtle lighting fixtures that enhance the serene atmosphere without overpowering the room. Decluttering and Storage A clutter-free space is essential to maintain the clean girl aesthetic. Thoughtful storage solutions help keep the space organised and tidy. Choose sleek, simple furniture in neutral tones, steering clear of ornate details. A subdued sofa can serve as the centrepiece of your living room, while a glass coffee table adds a modern edge without compromising functionality. Less is More When it comes to decor, less is unquestionable more. Instead of filling the space with lots of small items, opt for a few large statement pieces—a striking sculpture, a large painting, or an oversized plush rug in neutral tones. These elements create visual interest while maintaining the clean, minimalist look. Incorporating plants or flowers can introduce a natural touch, enhancing the overall look and adding life to the space without sacrificing serenity. Images Credit: Miss Amara SITCHU MAGAZINE
