10 tips for making your home look less messy:
1. Minimise accent pillows
Accent pillows add colour and pattern to your room, but too many can make it look busy and untidy. Stick to a few quality pillows to keep the space looking chic and clean.
2. Maximise natural lighting
Dark rooms can feel cramped and uninviting. Use natural light to your advantage by keeping windows unobstructed. In rooms with limited natural light, choose light and neutral furnishings to brighten the space.

3. Use proper curtain lengths
Short curtains can make your room look smaller and awkward. Ensure your curtains reach the floor to create a more elegant and cohesive look.
4. Avoid overstuffing rooms
Large furniture in a small room can be overwhelming. Choose appropriately sized furniture and avoid pushing all pieces against the walls to allow natural flow through the room.
5. Pay attention to textiles
Neatly arranged textiles make a big difference. Ensure slipcovers fit well, fold throw blankets neatly, and fluff throw pillows regularly for a tidy appearance.

6. Organise your entryway
The entryway is the first thing guests see. Keep it inviting and functional. A good tip is to choose a rug that hides dirt, like a dark-coloured one, to keep the area looking clean.
7. Tidy up cables and tech gear
Cables and cords can make a room look cluttered. Hide them by tucking the TV into an armoire or using cable organisers. Create a gallery wall around the TV to minimise its impact.

8. Choose the right rug size
A properly sized rug can make a room feel larger and more polished. Investing in a larger rug that fits your space well is worth it for a clean and pulled-together look.
9. Arrange wall decor thoughtfully
A well-organised gallery wall adds colour and interest. Measure and arrange your art and photos in a tidy layout to avoid a chaotic look.
10. Limit the number of colours
While vibrant colours are appealing, too many can overwhelm a space. Choose a mix of complementary shades and patterns for a harmonious and balanced look.
