Creating Spaciousness-Demagnetizing horizontal surfaces

Have you ever noticed how flat surfaces seem to have their own attraction powers? One pile begets another until you can't see the surface any longer. One way to short circuit this power is by creating a form that follows function. After clearing a meal-set the table for the next meal as part of the process. Set up a lovely display of perfume bottles on your bureau top. Having a thoughtful reminder that these flat spaces are not intended as holding zones for paper piles and random clutter can go a long way to reducing visual stress!
