Generic gallery walls

Listen, this comes from someone who’s actually very much into painting and photography: I would instantly say yes to a great gallery wall, but not the one you’d see at an actual gallery. Be more creative, and don’t be afraid to rearrange those paintings the way you like!

A crowded entryway

Truth be told, first impressions matter, and the first contact your guests will have with your home is in the entryway. Having way too much stuff in your entryway will make the entire space feel extra cluttered, oppressive, and instantly uncomfortable.

You might want to create an open and inviting space at the entrance by rearranging all those shoes, keys, and raincoats that might be standing in the way of space.
