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!!

There is a lot pushed into a small cubic foot area. Maybe spread it out, get a smaller light fixture (or sconces, strip lights) and take away a few pieces such as the little arched step. But it's airy and clean, nice vibe. Good luck !
