While decluttering isn’t the only way you can prevent visual cutter, it is the most helpful way to begin. To start, simply embark on a decluttering session. keep only items that are meaningful or serve a genuine purpose in your room.

Choose Furniture Mindfully
Whenever possible, up for furniture with clean lines and simple designs. That said, don’t sacrifice your comfort in your living room. if your favorite couch is a little more bulky but offers a lot of comfort try to opt for smaller and more streamlined furniture options for the remaining items.

Consider Sizes
Consider the size of your room whenever you look for an item to purchase. This is especially important for furniture or wall art. Ensure that your furniture and decor items are appropriately scaled for your room; too many oversized items can make your space feel small and overcrowded. Remember, just because a piece of furniture looks great in the showroom doesn’t mean it won’t overpower your small living area.
