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

This will come as a shock to no one, but the quickest way to make a home look cluttered is by cluttering it with knick-knacks, tchotchkes, and whatever else is gathering dust. Instead of strewing your thimble collection across the house on various shelves, have a designated location, like a bookshelf or mantle, for the important display items. Personally, I favor a shelf with a glass door to help me with my goal of never dusting.
