Cluttercore! A new, to me, word. A new esthetic. I’ve had to look at different posts to distinguish between maximalism and cluttercore. I’m not 100% I’d recognize one room done in one esthetic vs one done in the other. My impression is maximalism has no hesitation of various colours and paterns on all surfaces. Cluttercore is about collecting, and exhibiting those collections. There’s a distinction of editing made. I think that cluttercore does not edit whereas maximalism does. I’ve found a few posts on the subject perhaps various reads call help.

• Better Homes & Gardens
• Southern Living
• Apartment Therapy
• House Digest
• Designed – my impression is this article confused maximalism and cluttercore

I always find it amusing to look at these types of posts. What homes looked like a specific year. I often say I don’t follow trends, I do my own thing, but I must be following trends to a point, as my home doesn’t look like something from the 70s or 80s. Or perhaps it is exactly as I have said in the past, if you go very trendy, which these pictures reflect, then the look will get dated. Stay a little more classic and the look will better endure the test of time.
