Yesterday while doing some styling work, I had lots of time to ponder the age old question.
When styling and a space just doesn't look right, do you take away or add?
I think a lot of stylist will go with the "take away" but sometimes I think that adding a few more things gives a space a little more dimension and character...
Could you live with things slightly cluttered? Or is it neat piles and well defined spaces for you?
I would say less is far better - and I try to keep it that way, but the reality is I tend to live with piles from time to time. I just make sure to go through them and rid myself of them...how long that lasts, well no one is asking that!
ReplyDeleteFor me more is better. I guess it's because growing up with 7 people in a four bedroom house things were always tight. We always had books all over the house. My parents always encouraged expressing our own style, so the house was quite eclectic. Organized chaos feels like home to me.
ReplyDeleteI like more! But horizontal books are my pet peeve
ReplyDeletedefinitely yes! I love beautiful clutter, I think it gives an edge and add personality if well done
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely on the clutter spectrum, as long as it's organized clutter. My Boy however, is on the other end, so our place falls somewhere in between.
ReplyDeleteclean, neat spaces is me 110%. CanNOT work in cluttered spaces.
ReplyDeleteI love organised clutter but definitely not just for the sake of it - it needs to look purposefully placed. Love the styling in the last pic xo
