> Clearly it is not a question of "too much stuff" but of "too little space". Not too sure about that. In my anecdotal experience of people I have met or known, and barring extreme pathological cases, there seems to be a specific level of clutter per individual, irrespective of available space. This becomes apparent when said available space varies, e.g when moving to another place. Have more space, get more things, until "desired" clutter level is reached; conversely being faced with less space would result in some things being thrown away without that much concern, until "desired" clutter level is reached.
