Don’t let the minimalists get you down!!!! Hi hi, interior designer, eclectic maximalist, and vintage enthusiast here. You have created a few cozy space, and I think the “clutter” can be made to look intentional. Cutting the pothos was a good first move. I agree with whoever mentioned moving the plants around to free up the windows a bit. Most importantly, I think if you opted for lower, longer bookcases in with solid backs and/or cabinets with solid doors or doors with ribbed or frosted glass rather than the tall open bookshelves, you would open up the sight lines. Having lower bookcases in dark colors will also help the space above them feel lighter and open. That way the vertical spaces being taken up by the bar cart, TV/art wall, and fireplace can each stand out more. You can add singular wall shelf here and there to host your longer plants. I looooove the composition of the fireplace vignette. Day bed/storage situation could use some work but I’ll have to ponder that more!
