You won’t find clutter in my house.
No bric-a-brac on shelves.
No knickknacks.
No trinkets.
This is mostly because I hate to dust. So the fewer items on display, the fewer items to get dusty.
Instead I go for statement pieces. A vase. A plant. A votive.
The pieces are grand. They speak for themselves. They encapsulate my decor. They don’t take center stage, they take the whole stage.
If you’re in the process of organizing your house and want to de-clutter, take these steps to maximize your space without forgoing style:
Pick a cluttered tabletop.
Choose a favorite object that represents your decor. Be sure it is large enough to pack a punch without overtaking the table.
Place it in the center or the corner, wherever it makes sense.
Stand back and evaluate. The piece should be eye-catching. A conversation-starter. It should cause someone to do a double-take and say, “This piece looks like you.”
