If You're Doing This, You're Making Your House Look Cluttered

There must have been an interior designer in the '80s who came around to people's homes and chastised them for leaving a wall devoid of furniture. This overstuffed approach, instead of making a room look rich and well furnished, makes the space feel like it's busting at the seams. Think about what a room really needs, get that, and stop trying to jam furniture up against every wall. At the very least, it'll be less you'll have to clean and buy.
