Too Much of a Good Thing?

Well placed accessories good, clutter bad. Don't go overboard with your accessories (this includes, photographs, trophies, sports memorabilia, etc - if you want to have a room that's dedicated to a hobby that's fine, but you needn't subject the rest of the world to it), keep things simple. Depending on the room size and furnishings, a few nice pieces (a picture on the wall here, an autographed baseball there, floor lamp in the corner, etc) are all you need. Overcrowding a room, draws focus away from the pieces that you'd really like to highlight and doesn't create a relaxing environment for your guests. Remember that old saying, 'less is more'? Well, there's a reason for that - don't be the reason.
