Finally, an excuse for my messy bedroom.
of her home under the tag, but it differs from the others, with bright colours, fun images, and loud prints. “A lot of people could walk into my room and think, ‘Wow, this is just one big junk pile,’ as if it was an episode of hoarders,” says Amanda, but she feels like the line is drawn when you give the items you value a home.
“To me, it’s about maximising your space and creating an organised mess where you can let your creativity flow. Having weird knick-knacks and other items I’ve collected is one of my main motivations to even create and make art on a daily basis,” she adds. As well as embracing “stuff”, cluttercore also seems to be a rejection of the minimalism that’s dominated Instagram for years. There are different kinds; normie grey sofa, chrome surfaces, ‘Live Laugh Love’ signs, or a Made furniture set-up with maybe one or two of the Cool Books on the £500 coffee table to show off something approaching personality.

When I first moved in, I found it pretty difficult to sleep because I would look at the blank walls and start to feel paranoid. Lianne explains that her rejection of minimalism is about more than just aesthetics. “In all honesty, a minimalist room makes me feel a bit uncomfortable,” she says. “It gives me the sense of being alone and isolated. I would often find it difficult to sleep in hotel rooms or when I first moved into my house. The pictures and belongings that surround me in my room make me feel less alone.”
