CLUTTER TO THE CORE

While the move from minimalism to maximalism may have made neat freaks shudder, the latest trend to hit Tik Tok, instagram, and the pages of some design blogs settles somewhere in between. Introducing "cluttercore" a style sensibility that celebrates collections of things - often lots & lots of things - that bring joy to their owner. While maximalism is a happily haphazard mish mash of styles & textures, cluttercore is organized chaos. Think legos or kids’ art or framed butterflies or … anything that has value or serendipity to its owner. The difference is that in cluttercore, these objets de’heart are extremely organized. My kids were collectors. Thinking now of their vignettes of power rangers, beanie babies, baseball cards and more … I always knew they were ahead of their time.
