Color & Clutter

I’ve been spending a lot of time on Pinterest lately and I’ve noticed an odd thing when looking at home decor. There is a plethora of minimalist, neutral (i.e. white and beige) rooms around the world. That’s not the odd part. What’s weird is that now that trend is losing its edge and rich colors are heading back, so is clutter. Why is there a duality of beige & uncluttered, purple & cluttered? Why can’t a room be teal with a magenta sofa AND have bare table tops?

Maybe it’s like seeing a full buffet after three years of eating nothing but egg whites… eventually things will settle down to colorfully tidy. I hope so.

If you had unlimited resources to decorate your home, but with the condition that nobody who doesn’t already live there would see it, even on social media, what would it look like? (Tell me in the comments, I’m really curious!)
