small living room with neutral couch and lots of taupe pillows

We've been talking a lot about minimaluxe on Livingetc recently. The joy of letting your favorite things breathe and being able to truly appreciate them, unhampered by clutter and visual noise. But the look tends to be used in larger spaces, where there is room to put individual pieces on display.

How do you stop all your treasured objets looking cluttered while still having them out to be viewed?
