Explaining the interior design trend you might already be following.

You&rsquo;ve likely seen clustering before: <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/design/sabine-marcelis-imagines-a-bright-collection-for-ikea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coffee tables</a> stacked with <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/design/valentino-launches-book-in-celebration-of-the-brand-65-years-years" target="_blank" rel="noopener">niche art books</a>, Diptyque <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/design/dior-nature" target="_blank" rel="noopener">candles</a>, and matchboxes from a favorite caf&eacute;. The space feels unpretentious, lived-in, and <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/travel/montenegro-chic-natural-and-trendy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chic</a>. This relaxed approach to interior design has been seen all over TikTok as of late. Liken it to the set of a teenage girl's bedroom in a <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/why-you-must-see-the-series-marie-antoinette-first-steps-at-the-court" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sofia Coppola</a> movie: It&rsquo;s not a regular clutter&mdash;it&rsquo;s pretty, semi-intentional clutter. Each item reveals a bit about you, the owner, and every &ldquo;cluster&rdquo; tells a story. According to TikTok creator and self-proclaimed &ldquo;cluster queen&rdquo; Avery-Claire Nugent (@acnugs), these &ldquo;clusters of personality&rdquo; become &ldquo;the movie set of your own life.&rdquo;

So what&rsquo;s in a cluster? The short answer is anything you want. Though, for maximum impact, choose your most cherished items. It's a wonderful way to display a collection of favorites, such as an antique necklace that you love but never wear, decorative <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/design/when-louis-vuitton-made-his-perfume-bottles-real-objects-of-art" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perfume</a> bottles, minuscule figures purchased abroad, and beloved tchotchkes without a home. You can cluster in any room, from the bathroom to the kitchen. The beauty of the trend is that it doesn&rsquo;t necessitate buying new objects, or even getting rid of old ones, rather, giving integrity to items you already own.
But before you get cluster-happy, Nugent warns against being overzealous. Too many clusters can err on the side of cluttercore (a far busier technique of intentional clutter), or worse: an actual mess. The art of clustering is less of a question of what to cluster as it is how often to do it.&nbsp;

Somewhere between minimal and maximal, a clustered space is one that is beautifully scattered with conversing collections of ordinary objects. There&rsquo;s something quite freeing about rebranding clutter as personally meaningful. This is your excuse to empty your drawers, go shopping in your <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/design/new-works-the-danish-furniture-brand-transforming-interiors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">living room</a>, and celebrate the mess. Romanticize your life&mdash;clusters and all.
