Stuff everywhere - I love it. Not clutter though. I have a slight loathing of everyday stuff being on display - like kitchen counters full of normal kitchen stuff, or sitting rooms covered in everyday bits and bobs. It’s my slight OCD - comfort for me, is not just about having somewhere to slouch, but also that everything should be easy on the eye. Bright pink cheapy magazine in a cream room? I can’t handle that - but magazine with interesting cover, no problem. Pathetic but true.
I’d also like to say that I’m not even remotely tidy - but I do think that if you put the time in to making a room look beautiful and restful, then have hiding places for the stuff that takes away from that - obviously without reaching levels of panicked ‘take your shoes off!’ dementedness though… : )

I couldn’t agree more! Between you and me, I have a little (OCD) issue with cushions; I cannot walk into a house without, discreetly, reorganising them - colour coding and layering, too! Totally gt you with the pick magazine - I shudder just thinking about it.
Good post!
Ha ha! Heather I do that too!
..and thank you! x
