Living in a 480 square foot tiny house, I need to be careful with clutter — too much and the whole place looks crowded, messy, and distracting. I want to live comfortably, with decor that feels nice and peaceful.

“When you have too many small items, the eye doesn’t know where to land. Instead of seeing a beautiful collection, you just see a mess.” — Maria Killam via The Spruce

Small items can be fun. Clutter is not. The trick is grouping pieces with a common thread and giving the eye somewhere to land.
