- Remove excessive window treatments that don't function to allow more natural light and achieve a cleaner, modern aesthetic. - Replace small pieces of art and accessories with larger statement pieces to minimize clutter and create a bolder, fresher look. - Choose furniture with legs to create a lighter, less heavy feel that aligns with contemporary design principles.
