Airbnb is making it a little easier to find that cabin, camper, or even windmill of your vacation dreams. Along with a free protection plan and the ability to split a stay among two homes, the company added Airbnb Categories that organize homes on style, location, or proximity to travel activities. Want to stay in a historic French chateau or spend some time in the Norwegian Arctic? They have you covered. Or perhaps you want a California winery vacation or a Colorado ski-in/ski-out home. The search to find somewhere unique is simpler than ever.
And, by the way, simple is good when it comes to vacation rentals. Consider for a moment that there are 4 million Airbnb properties in 100,000 cities and town around the world.
Among Airbnb’s 56 categories, you’ll find “Amazing Views,” “Vineyards,” and “Castles.” There are also “Towers,” “Houseboats,” and “Shepherd’s Huts.” Unique properties seem to be in high demand, according to the top 10 most wishlisted U.S. Airbnb properties for summer 2022. On the list, you’ll find an underground home, an earthship, and more than a few treehouses.

10. Crystal Peak Lookout
Formerly a fire lookout in Washington, the Crystal Peak Lookout was moved to Northern Idaho. Remodeled in 2018, this tower is surrounded by 13 acres of cedar and tamarack trees. And, after a day exploring the woods, there’s a wood-burning sauna underneath the lookout. If you want to book a stay in winter, a vintage 1960’s Thiokol Snowcat can take you up to the tower.
Are you one of those people who’s always on top of the latest home decor trends? Or are you not sure if midcentury modern is still a thing. Well, if you’ve lost your decorating way, Airbnb and Tiktok are collaborating to let you know exactly which style trends are hot. Not only that, they’re predicting the styles you’ll be seeing in home design in the future.
How are Tiktok, a video sharing social platform, and Airbnb, an online lodging platform, predicting what’s to come in the world of design? Buzzwords. Or, more precisely, they’re measuring the popularity of certain hashtags on Tiktok and comparing them to lodging descriptions on Airbnb. When you have big numbers on both sides, that’s a good indicator it’s a trend we’ll be seeing more of.
Whether you’re looking for your next vacation spot or are thinking about remodeling, here are the eight decor styles that Tiktok and Airbnb predict you’ll be seeing in 2022.
TikTok counts more than 1.6 billion views of videos using the hashtag #zerowaste. Many of these are tips on reducing household waste and reusing items. On Airbnb, hosts who include sustainable features are growing at a rate 15 percent higher than other listings on Airbnb.

6. Gothic
With a thriving community that calls itself WitchTok, it shouldn’t be a surprise that gothic and goblincore are popular on TikTok. Meanwhile, there are also more than 19,000 Airbnb listings that use gothic terminology in their listings.
So long, minimalism, maximalism is where it’s at, according to Tiktok and Airbnb. TikTok creators seek out unique artifacts and vintage items that are more, not less. Meanwhile, over 35,000 Airbnb listings use maximalist words such as velvet, mixed patterns, and animal prints.
Plants are big on Tiktok. So big that the hashtag #PlantTok has gotten more than 1.6 billion views alone. Airbnb hosts also connect to the botanical theme with words like monstera, potted plant, and lush.

1. Cottagecore
It’s a word that’s only appeared on Tiktok in the last few years, but its popularity puts it at the top of design trends. Perhaps due to the increase in crafting since the beginning of the pandemic, words like patterned vintage wallpaper, floral upholstery, and wood are very popular. Variants of cottagecore are also found more than 110,000 times in Airbnb listings.
