Curated
I don't really get the word "curated" when applied to people's homes. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the verb "to curate" as "to select, organize, and look after the items in (a collection or exhibition)." So... doesn't everyone select, organize, and look after the items in their home? What is a "curated" home, then?

Curated also implies that things are carefully chosen and edited. I don't think most people actually do that. I think people buy things on a whim, or whatever's cheap or available, without thinking too much about what they really want and like.
