Does your space still feel messy even after you\u2019ve cleaned it? Your d\u00e9cor choices could be the culprit. Here are 3 adjustments you can make to ensure your space feels neat, tidy and stylish!<\/em><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>In 2015 there\u2019s no shortage of new and exciting ways to accessorize your space.<\/p>\n

From book-stacking to statement vases to clusters of candles, it\u2019s now possible (and fairly easy!) to create a showroom look in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

But what happens when you go overboard with your accessories and d\u00e9cor choices? Chaos and clutter!<\/p>\n

Here are 3 possible reasons your d\u00e9cor might be making your room feel messy and<\/em> how you can fix it:<\/p>\n

Messy D\u00e9cor Culprit #1: Leaning, Stacking And Piles <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Have you hopped aboard the book-stacking trend? How about the tray of flowers and knick-knacks atop your ottoman?<\/p>\n

While we love these trends (and recommend them in many of our blogs), their success depends on your room style, the size of your space and how you arrange things in comparison to your other home accessories.<\/p>\n

A few casual stacks of books and clusters of trinkets might look nice in a spacious room, but if the room is already tight, it could make your space feel cramped and cluttered.<\/p>\n

Our solution? Always take into consideration the size of your space before filling it with accessories. Try re-organizing your trinkets or moving your book stack off the floor and onto an accent table to reclaim your floor space.<\/p>\n

Step back and see if re-arranging those elements made the room feel any cleaner. If they didn\u2019t, you could replace them with a stylish accent table like the Olivia Accent Table<\/a> in black to make a statement on its own.<\/p>\n

\"Use<\/a>

Use shelved accent tables to make a statement and eliminate messiness!<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s easy to get caught up in filling your space with accessories, but it\u2019s important to remember that sometimes less is more.<\/p>\n

Messy D\u00e9cor Culprit #2: Too Many Competing Design Elements<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Everyone has good intentions when it comes to decorating a room; however, if you have a hard time sticking to a theme, it can reflect in your d\u00e9cor, making it seem messier than it is.<\/p>\n

That being said, pursuing a full-blown \u201ctheme\u201d isn\u2019t for everyone. You might not be keen on covering your space in seashells or nautical artwork, but you should still have a vague idea of what kind of style<\/em> you prefer.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t, we suggest flipping though the latest home d\u00e9cor magazines or browsing Pinterest to get an idea of your taste. Save pictures that speak to you and examine what they have in common.<\/p>\n

Once you realize your style (maybe it\u2019s a natural boho-chic vibe or modern with chrome touches) you can begin building on (or eliminating) things in your space to create a more streamlined look.<\/p>\n

For example, the Bulova Accent Chair in ivory<\/a> marries perfectly with the Kaya Double Bench<\/a> creating a classic and sophisticated style.<\/p>\n

\"Similar<\/a>

Similar design elements make your space feel cohesive and neat!<\/p><\/div>\n

In short, knowing your true style helps you eliminate competing design elements to create an overall streamlined look you\u2019ll love for years to come.<\/p>\n

Messy D\u00e9cor Culprit #3: Going Overboard With Pattern <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mixing prints and patterns can be tricky. When you get it wrong, it creates a feeling of messiness in the cleanest of spaces.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say you decided to mix the Avery Storage Bench<\/a> with the Bengal Accent Chair<\/a>; do you notice how your eye can\u2019t focus on any single piece? These patterns are both busy and have nothing in common. They compete for your attention.<\/p>\n

\"Clashing<\/a>

Clashing prints make your space feel messier than it actually is.<\/p><\/div>\n

You can prevent this in 2 ways<\/p>\n

1. Choose one<\/em> statement print you love and take !nspiration from that piece to complete the rest of the room in a more subtle manner, or<\/p>\n

2. Mix prints that have elements in common so that it makes more sense to the eye (prints in the same color palette, theme, etc.)<\/p>\n

Competing prints only make your space feel busy and crowded. Choose accordingly and be sure to try various swatches side by side before committing!<\/p>\n
