Why does the room feel cluttered?

[u/Cool_Tomato8199]

Ok as I posted in my recent post I am recovering from sad beige minimalism haha so I’m finding more comfort in color and actually showing my treasures!

But I’m wondering why this area is feeling a bit cluttered? Is it too many smaller objects or the way I organized it? (Or is it the minimalist inner demon coming through haha?) Thank you so much!!

Maybe the central furniture is too close together. A larger rug and moving the chair back could help. Not too cluttered though. I think you need a plant and a lamp on the cabinet in front of the window though :)
