Harry Potter
Though we’re no longer lining up at midnight in anticipation for a new movie or book, Pinterest-users find a way to keep Harry Potter alive in their hearts, mostly in the form of lists that “only Harry Potter geeks will understand” and cool, snitch-inspired jewelry. (Photo: Pinterest.com/etsy)
Vegan recipes
Foodies thrive on Pinterest, and it’s no surprise that searches for vegan recipes would trend globally as people begin looking for new takes on healthy meals. (Photo: Pinterest.com/Buzzfeed)
Small tattoos
Tattoos have been growing in popularity since Millennials became old enough to get inked. But for a generation known for its commitment-phobia, many want to be able to hide that sucker if need be. So tiny tattoos are the perfect solution, of course. Expect to see more of them in 2016 (but you’ll have to squint.) (Photo: Pinterest.com/buzzfeed)
Lob hair
Alexa Chung’s iconic bob was the haircut of the year in 2015, so it’s no surprise that “lob hair” and “Alexa Chung Haircut” were among the top Pinterest searches. Even Jessica Alba, Kristen Bell and Beyoncé got in on the trend. (Photo: Pinterest via Blog Lovin’)
Men’s fashion
Proof that men have officially jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon and just don’t understand it the way girls do. Despite being one of the most popular searches on Pinterest, “men’s fashion” is just heavily searched, not saved or repined. This is probably because guys just find what they like, consider the task complete and then log off. Do they do it better? (Photo: Pinterest.com/buzzfeed)
Easy recipes
The do-it-yourself attitude common amongst Millennials isn’t confined to the craft room, and more and more Millennials consider cooking a must-have skill for both a healthy and domestic lifestyle. Photo: Pinterest via Rasamalasia.com
DIY décor
Generation Y is basically Generation DIY, so it’s no surprise that DIY Décor and crafts trended around the globe. Aside from the search “DIY Décor,” pallet projects, sewing patterns, woodwork, and crafting with kids were also popular. (Photo: PInterest via Brit+Co)
Bathroom storage
Twenty-somethings are starting to settle down, and that means making their homes places to be proud of, whether they rent or not. Aside from just bathroom storage, searches like “small kitchen storage, kitchen decoration, and budget décor” were also popular. (Photo: Pinterest via howdoesshe.com)
Bohemian weddings
Women’s Wear Daily called the spring 2016 wedding trend “Bohemian Rhapsody,” as boho looks continue to rule the music and festival scene and aren’t going anywhere soon. Ethereal décor, chiffon layered dresses and free-spirited atmospheres were the most sought after sub-searches. (Photo: Pinterest via adornmagazine.com)
Meat-free Mondays
Cheaper and (at least sometimes) healthier, meatless Monday is a way for Millennials to express their views on environmental issues, farming, and animal rights. And save a little cash each week. (Photo: Pinterest.com/buzzfeed)
Scandinavian interiors
The Scandinavian décor trends have been all the rage in Europe throughout 2015, and of course IKEA rules many a 20-something’s home. We’ll see even more in the U.S. this coming year. Minimalist design, blue accents and monochrome artwork are just a few of the many ideas that have dominated Pinterest this year. (Photo: nohomewithoutyou.com)
Life hacks
Who doesn’t want to make life easier? With Millennials now juggling careers, families, hobbies, and, well, social media, there’s a major push for efficiency and time management. (Photo: 1000lifehacks.com)
Glamping
Driven predominately by the desire to seek out nature without sacrificing comfort, glamping has grown globally in the last year. Pinterest offers inspiration to glampers about everything from locations to essentials. (Photo: Pinterest.com/buzzfeed)
Botanical motifs
Trending mostly in Japan, botanical motifs in vibrant hues are brightening up homes and offices, giving a distinctly feminine appeal to any décor preference. Photo: frenchyfancy.com
Cheese fondue

Sloths
They are adorable. ‘Nuff said, right? Photo: Pinterest.com/Buzzfeed
Detox Water
Water that’s delicious, healthy AND pretty to look at? That’s the dream right there, and Pinterest has some of the best concoctions. Photo: Pinterest.com/BudgetSavvyDiva
Baking Bread
Artisan bread is all the rage right now, and DIYers and bakers alike are rising (pun intended) to the challenge. Photo: Attainable-sustainable.net
Men’s Bracelet
Especially leather and tribal bracelets, it’s officially cool to have something other than a watch tied to your wrist. Photo: Pinterest.com/etsy
Men’s Undercuts
“Men’s haircuts” was also heavily searched, but the haircut of the year is definitely the undercut. Clean, versatile and professional, the undercut style is longer at the top and fades into a shorter cut around the sides and back. Photo: Pinterest via Hairstyles On Point
