Turns out, pretty much no one\u2014which might explain why our story on intentional clutter back in March became our most-liked Instagram post of 2025. The more-is-more look went mainstream this year, fueled by skyrocketing searches for eclectic and vintage maximalism and a social feed full of color-drenched rooms, crowded mantels, and stuffed bookshelves. Instead of clearing surfaces, people started styling them: stacking books, clustering candles, and giving every tiny bowl, matchbook, and souvenir a public spot. The key, of course, is in the word intentional\u2014this is not dirty laundry on the floor.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elledecor.com\/design-decorate\/trends\/a64300137\/intentional-cluttering-trend-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.elledecor.com\/design-decorate\/trends\/a64300137\/intentional-cluttering-trend-2025\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Why \u201cIntentional Clutter\u201d Is the New Maximalism\" data-node-id=\"4.1\" class=\"body-link css-1c3jgal emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Why \u201cIntentional Clutter\u201d Is the New Maximalism<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bookshelf Wealth<img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"Living room with a green sofa, bookshelf, and decorative elements.\" title=\"Living room with a green sofa, bookshelf, and decorative elements.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1806\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1767174791_460_90173095-e1b0-405a-bf91-e86fb39db625.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Bookshelf wealth has the same \u201cmore-is-more\u201d energy as intentional clutter, but with dust jackets and deckle edges. This year, the humble shelf went from storage to status symbol, as TikTok crowned wall-to-wall tomes, layered objects, and sink-in seating. A well-stocked, well-styled library wall now signals taste and hours spent reading and collecting. And yes, for the record, bookshelf wealth still assumes you actually crack a spine once in a while.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elledecor.com\/design-decorate\/a64178569\/bookshelf-trends-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.elledecor.com\/design-decorate\/a64178569\/bookshelf-trends-2025\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"How Bookshelf Wealth Became the Ultimate Status Symbol\" data-node-id=\"8.1\" class=\"body-link css-1c3jgal emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">How Bookshelf Wealth Became the Ultimate Status Symbol<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cozymaxxing<img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"Cozy bedroom featuring a four-poster bed and comfortable seating.\" title=\"Cozy bedroom featuring a four-poster bed and comfortable seating.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"980\" height=\"735\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/415a36fc-add8-49dc-8730-b05840a323b2.jpeg\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Cozymaxxing borrows maximalism\u2019s love of \u201cmore\u201d but channels it into softness\u2014more texture, more warmth, more places to sit, snack, and scroll for hours. Instead of one big echoey room, cozymaxxing loves doors, corners, and carve-outs. Surfaces are neatly layered, with boucl\u00e9 or chenille upholstery, deep rugs, wool throws, and glow-lamps doing most of the heavy lifting. If your space feels like a nervous system reset the minute you walk in, you\u2019re in cozymaxxing territory.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elledecor.com\/design-decorate\/trends\/a69252669\/cozymaxxing-trend\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.elledecor.com\/design-decorate\/trends\/a69252669\/cozymaxxing-trend\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Cozymaxxing Is the Trend That Will Get You Through Winter\" data-node-id=\"12.1\" class=\"body-link css-1c3jgal emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cozymaxxing Is the Trend That Will Get You Through Winter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ralph Lauren<img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"An outdoor bar area situated in a snowy environment, adjacent to a wooden structure.\" title=\"An outdoor bar area situated in a snowy environment, adjacent to a wooden structure.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/02d23b20-fa6b-4932-b163-dfb2ae6b3746.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"15\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Ralph Lauren everything\u2014and we mean everything\u2014became one of 2025\u2019s defining style references. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elledecor.com\/design-decorate\/trends\/a69241049\/ralph-lauren-christmas-decor-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.elledecor.com\/design-decorate\/trends\/a69241049\/ralph-lauren-christmas-decor-2025\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Ralph Lauren Christmas\" data-node-id=\"15.1\" class=\"body-link css-1c3jgal emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ralph Lauren Christmas<\/a>\u201d became the most outright and recent expression of it, dominating holiday feeds with tartan textiles, hunter green and burgundy palettes, equestrian motifs, and fire lit, clubby living rooms. But the mood was around the entire year: throughout, designers and content creators leaned into that same vocabulary of preppy plaids, dark woods, brass, and layered patterns. The appeal was straightforward and highly replicable at home\u2014swap in checked throws, leather-bound books, vintage silver, and portrait-style art and you get a look that dovetailed neatly with the broader appetite for \u201cold money\u201d and heritage-driven decor. In a year obsessed with coziness, maximalism, and status signaling via interiors, a Ralph Lauren-coded room became a kind of visual shorthand for all three.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"16\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elledecor.com\/design-decorate\/trends\/a69241049\/ralph-lauren-christmas-decor-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.elledecor.com\/design-decorate\/trends\/a69241049\/ralph-lauren-christmas-decor-2025\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Why Ralph Lauren Christmas Became This Year\u2019s Holiday Decor Trend to Watch\" data-node-id=\"16.1\" class=\"body-link css-1c3jgal emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Why Ralph Lauren Christmas Became This Year\u2019s Holiday Decor Trend to Watch<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1767174792_743_afe6c5ab-daa4-4248-860f-c8bebef90726_1735829133.jpg\" alt=\"Headshot of Julia Cancilla\" title=\"Headshot of Julia Cancilla\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"css-o0wq4v ev8dhu53\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Julia Cancilla is the engagement editor at ELLE Decor, where she oversees the brand&#8217;s social media and writes about the intersection of design, pop culture, and emerging trends.
