Sometimes Less is More... with decorating

When looking at living rooms like this, it is nice to see empty space. I like when rooms have the opportunity to breath and aren't all filled from wall to wall with items. I feel sometimes that people fear empty space and are desperately trying to fill it. There is no need to have this panic, it looks good, just let it be.

So the next time, you find a portrait you want or the next piece of furniture that you must have, don't put it in the one spot that you have left open, replace an older piece with it. This should help you stay frugal because you will have to prioritize what you want to keep.
