Clutter makes any room seem crowded, so it's important to manage it correctly. Angie Lane, Lead Architect, Designer, and Owner at A.LANEarchitecture in Tecumseh, Michigan, says clutter includes any decor or accessories you may have, not just everyday household items. Because of this, it's important to remember this simple trick when setting up your place: "Fewer, larger decor pieces are better than smaller ones," she says. "Use the Pineapple Principle – choose a select few decor items that are the size of a pineapple or larger."
