Clutter Decorating Is the Anti-Minimalist Trend Taking Over

Cluttercore is a maximal approach to decorating where more is more. It's not about making a mess or filling a room with piles of junk that would make the folks on Hoarders jealous, but about displaying and arranging what you have and love. It's about loving what you already own. It's about artfully arranging a museum wall worth of family photos, instead of one tasteful framed print.

People have really taken a fancy to cluttercore and social media is filled with mentions. The #cluttercore hashtag is all over the place on TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest.
