The beef between these DIY interior designers on TikTok was quite the drama
We don’t do a lot of DIY interior designing – alright, full disclosure, we don’t do any DIY interior designing – but it turns out it’s very much a thing on TikTok.
We mention it because there was quite the beef between two particular (and very popular) DIY interior desigers, Tay BeepBoop and Kaarin Jay.
Here’s what Tay BeepBoop said about Kaarin Jay (in a since deleted post).

Except it’s fair to say not everyone agreed, including Kaarin Jay, obviously, prompting Tay BeepBoop to later post this follow-up video.

But it prompted quite the debate about where inspiration ends and copying begins, amid many other things. Here are just a few of the things people were saying about it after it went viral on Twitter.

Isn’t the entire point of being an influencer that you, well, influence people? Why is she mad that she is influencing people lol

Hate when interior decorators call themselves interior designers. I didn’t go through schooling to get certified to draft meticulous floor plans with dimensions, power+comm, elevations, etc to be looped into the same category as people who DIY ugly mirrors.

It’s not ugly, it’s maximalist creative. But listen, imagine someone steals your vision in everything you do as a mere copy, without citing inspiration. It would irk anyone. I understand.
