There's no approach to interior design quite as daring as maximalism, but its social media-approved cousin has just arrived on the scene, and it's one of the most fearless crazes to date. Cluttercore — the daughter of Cottagecore — is a bold celebration of our interests and quirks by spotlighting mismatched belongings that fill our homes, and its staunch anti-minimalist stance has divided designers.
When pulled off properly, this "more is more" mentality turns homes into fascinating museum exhibits that tell a different story at every turn. This curated approach to "organized chaos" encourages us to embrace sentimentality and self-expression in a thoughtful, considered way that still looks aesthetically beautiful. It encapsulates the mood of the moment perfectly, giving us a free card to display that trinket or heirloom while mixing different genres and styles together in an alluring interior design soup.
