The New Aesthetic of CluttercoreMarie Kondo's minimalism may bring you joy, but for others, it sparked a backlash known as maximalism. Now there's an offshoot design trend that has been picking up steam with Generation Z, boosted by the pandemic and promulgated by TikTok and Instagram. It's called "cluttercore." While some may see it as "hoarding disorder meets OCD," fans of the look see it as surrounding yourself by the things that truly bring you joy. And when so many people spent so much time home alone these last two years, surrounding yourself with things that make you happy has been a valid coping method.

However, the look isn't all that matters. Nick Lewis makes videos about the real world implications of home design. Here he plays devil's advocate about the long-term issues surrounding some modern design trends.
11 Homes That Use Color in Surprising WaysThere are those who will tell you to keep your walls a neutral color so that a potential buyer will not be turned off. Others say tone the color down because you'll get tired of it, or you won't be able to match accessories. Then there are people who think, "It's my home, I'll do as I please!" A creative person with some sense of style can go nuts with color and come up with an interior design that can't help but make you smile. The eleven interiors showcased in a list at Apartment Therapy aren't all this bright. Some are gentle pastels that you don't see every day, and others are unexpected combinations of pleasant colors that work. Seeing them will inspire you to do your own experiments with color, because you might just come up with a perfect room to be yourself in. (Image credit: Viv Yapp)#interior #color #homedecor

These new pieces of furniture are inspired by the cute pocket monsters we all love and are familiar with, but not to the point that it either looks childish or too in your face.At first glance, the items in the collection look like abstract patterns, fooling people into thinking they are not inspired by the popular franchise. On a closer inspection, one can spot the Pokemon designs on the curtains, sheet, and floor mat.The collection features a Pikachu sofa, a two-seater sofa model with bright colors, and a Pikachu pattern. In addition to that, there is also a one-person easy chair, a Poke Ball side table, and a gigantic Snorlax rug that looks elegant enough to be placed in your main living room.The collection can be purchased through the Pokemon Center Online store starting October 14. Don’t worry, these can be placed within your very adult home without anyone complaining about its ‘childishness’ or campiness (then again it’s your home, so who cares if you want an over-the-top Pikachu sofa? You do you!).Image credit: via JapanToday#Pokemon #Furniture #HomeDecor #InteriorDesign #Karimoku #Pikachu #Sofa

Bringing the Garden in With Trellis Decorated WallsDallas interior design firm Dunbar Road is responsible for the creation of this adorable and whimsical space. The room uses an abundance of trellis shaped molding and other trim work to give the room an airy conservatory feel. The color pallet is striking, but not shocking. The use of pale green, bright whites, yellows, and pops of pink remind someone of sitting in the garden.  Sometimes a great amount of molding in a room can make it feel stuffy. This room, however, feels airy and light. Perhaps that is due to the proliferation of bright whites and the moderate amount of furniture used. This is a bold and happy room. One could easily imagine sitting down at that table with friends. Perchance have few cups of tea, a smattering of pastries, and a good deal of belly laughs.  #trellis #gardenroom #diningspace #diningroom #homedecor #interiordesign #greenandwhite #gardentheme #whimsicalspaces
