We soaked up the summer sun with the vanilla girl aesthetic, opting for all things soft and light. We then welcomed autumn with cozy caramel girl inspiration—decking out our homes in rich layers and textures fit for fall. Now, as the last leaves fall and the first frost passes us by (and winter is set to officially, technically begin on December 21), it’s time to lean into the newest interior design trend on the block: cinnamon girl winter.
The perfect transitional aesthetic for fall-to-winter festivities, the cinnamon girl look first appeared as a beauty and fashion trend, and quickly took over social media. With more than six million views on TikTok, #cinnamongirlaesthetic features chunky knit sweaters, warm brown tones, and an all-over cozy vibe. Usually sporting baked goods, lattes, and books galore, creators everywhere are emulating the aesthetic—and singing along to Lana Del Rey’s song “Cinnamon Girl” while they’re at it.
And while the aesthetic suits outfit inspiration and makeup looks flawlessly, it really shines when it comes to interior design. Upgrade your home for the holiday season with the cinnamon girl aesthetic, adding lush accessories and deep colors to each and every room. With dark wood accents, vintage furniture, and a comfort-forward mindset, the look is sure to last. Plus, it’ll keep you just a little bit warmer over those cold winter months.
Grab a cinnamon roll, pour yourself a steaming cup of coffee, and gather around the fire—here’s everything you need to know about emulating the cinnamon girl aesthetic right at home.
Decorating with neutral tones is an easy (and timeless) go-to, but to achieve the cinnamon girl aesthetic, take those clean colors one step up. With beiges

I wasn’t expecting a lot from today’s count, but mild temperature in the week leading up to Christmas Day must have given things an unseasonal boost and I have had some surprises in the last few days. Having noted it was still only in bud, I wasn’t going to include sarcococca in the total until I came out of the back door again a little later and was instantly hit with an almost overwhelming fragrance: tucked under foliage and sprawling ivy was a clutch of fully open blooms, doing what they do best and perfuming the garden from several metres away.
Our front yards can be a huge struggle. Hiring a landscaping team is expensive, and doing it yourself can be difficult and pricey on its own. Plus, once you have the entire front yard to your liking, it might only look great during the day. At night, you have to figure out how to make your front yard match the aesthetics of the day without overpowering the yard with a ton of lights.

The weird and wonderful world of Willy Wonka is back, with a new film starring none other than Timothée Chalamet as Willy himself (and Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa!). Out in theaters in the U.S. December 15, the newest installment inspired by Roald Dahl’s fantastical story follows how Willy Wonka himself—magician, inventor, and chocolatier extraordinaire—came to be.
