When you spread similar objects – candles, small plants, family photos – all over the room, each one becomes a tiny point of attention. Your eye keeps jumping from one to another, and the space can start to feel bitty.
Grouping them – say, a cluster of framed photos on one sideboard, few plants together on a shelf, or candles in one tray – creates mini “stories.” Each group feels intentional, like a small display, and other surfaces stay quieter.
This doesn’t mean everything identical must sit together, but thoughtful clustering gives rhythm: some busy spots, some calm spots. The room feels more organised and styled, not just randomly decorated.
It’s the difference between ten people all talking separately in a room, and a few good conversations happening in clear corners.
