When decorating a shelf/bookshelf or even a tabletop, resist the urge to fill it with a multitude of small items. While these trinkets may initially seem charming, they can quickly overwhelm the space and create a visually cluttered look.
Imagine a bookshelf bursting with knick-knacks and figurines. It can be hard to appreciate the individual pieces or even the books themselves!
To achieve a more serene and balanced aesthetic, consider using fewer small decor items. This doesn't mean you have to banish them entirely! Choose a select few that truly resonate with you.
Instead, incorporate one or two larger statement pieces. This could be a piece of art, a large vase, or a beautiful lamp. These larger items will draw the eye and create a focal point, adding visual interest without overwhelming the space.
By adopting this approach, you'll not only create a calmer atmosphere but also establish a more pleasing visual balance between the small and large elements on your shelf. Remember, the key is to curate, not accumulate. When it comes to decorating, sometimes less truly is more!
