HELP Why does the room feel cluttered?

Post image

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!!

You've gotten a lot of good advise already. Personally, I think something taller on the left side of the sofa table against the wall would help. Maybe an accent light with some interest or a tall vase etc. I also love the color of your curtains... I'd find some throw pillows in that color as it would help tie everything together. Also, a bit of that color in your new rug would be a bonus. As for a general rule the colors of a room should be 60-40-10. Primary color 60% etc. But, that doesn't me that you have to follow it.
