What is the twee aesthetic?
This interior design style blends the nostalgic, cute and whimsical elements that were popularized in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The style is one that was brought to life through TV characters like Jessica Day on New Girl (Zooey Deschanel), who utilized those quirky and unique aspects in her clothing and life.
If you’re looking into recreating the look throughout your own space, you can start by choosing soft pastels for your base colors. Opt for mint green, soft pink, sky blue, butter yellow, as well as vintage-inspired hues like mustard yellow and olive green. Patterns and textures are essential to the look including polka dots, florals, gingham and glitter.
Knit blankets and crocheted throws are a good addition, as well as lace doilies. Add in a few quirky knick knacks that work for you, vintage finds, teacups and animal motifs. Furniture can be antique wooden pieces, distressed wood with a white finish and anything with wrought iron.
