I was fortunate to tour some of my town's historic homes yesterday that had been decorated by professional florists for Christmas. Guides take you into various rooms and discuss the historical significance of the house, point out some of the antique furniture, or bore you with the history of plates the owner bought in various countries.
One house was overwhelmingly full of stuff. It was expensive and exotic, but there was way too much of it. I couldn't wait to get out of there. On the opposite end of the spectrum, one home was owned by a single man who was a minimalist. It was elegant, classy, but with NO knick-knacks or clutter. I felt much more at peace in that place. It's a personal preference, but I'm thankful for simplicity. Are there certain rooms you feel you can relax in? Does the amount of clutter make any difference? Choose one room to focus on and see what can be done to bring more relaxation into that space.
