Comments: Good question admin. I personally follow my own ideas. I know what I like and what kind of interior design and decor I like the best. My house is decorated and furnished in country/western style with a touch of rustic and antique. I like mixing styles a bit as long as it doesn't clash.
If e.g. I see a nice accent or decor piece I usually do not buy it right ahead. At home I try to recall what it looks like and then I decide what would be a perfect spot for it or if it will fit in my home at all.

Comments: With that question you really made me laugh here.
No buddy, my house for sure is not cluttered and neither I'm a pack rat. If I'm tired of something so I get rid of it. New decor pieces bring new life in the room.
But you know what I also do? I do exchange decor and accent pieces. For instance I have a lot of seasonal accents which I place accordingly to the season.
I'm not living in an apartment and in a 3 bedroom house you usually have room enough to put decor out, in any room and without it had to look cluttered.
