The house doesn't need more decor - it just needs to get rid of some things!

There are times when our home just doesn't seem to be "in order," no matter how often we clean or organize things. The secret? It's not always about cleaning, but about what we need to get rid of. Some objects, even if we bought them with great love, can make the space seem smaller, more cluttered, and less inviting. Here's what you can get rid of to give your home some breathing room, light, and a sense of "perfect order."

1. Bright white lights: If you ever feel like you're in a dental clinic instead of your living room, it's the lights that are to blame. Swap out your harsh white bulbs for warm, candle-like lights that create the feel of fire. The atmosphere will instantly change—and yes, your home will feel more welcoming.

2. Pillows that match the sofa: If the pillows are the same color as the sofa, everything "melts" together and the room loses depth. Play with colors, textures, or motifs that relate to the sofa's material, but provide contrast. 

3. Heavy curtains: Thick, dark curtains make a room look smaller and more gloomy. Replace them with lightweight materials, such as linen or cotton, and warm colors that let the light in. The window will appear larger and the room more airy.

4. Rugs that are too small for the room:  Even the most beautiful rug loses its effect if it is smaller than the room. Instead of limiting the space, the rug should summarize it, so if it doesn't at least cover the area under the furniture, it's probably time to say goodbye.

5. Sofa and armchair sets: Just like in 2000s catalogs, matching sets take away the personality of a room. A neutral sofa and two armchairs in a different style are much more “2025” and give the room character.

At the end of the day, your home should reflect your comfort and style, not someone else's decorating manual. Removing a few unnecessary elements is the quickest way to give your space air, light, and a new aesthetic.
