I think the clutter is part of what makes this rug charming; if we removed it we'd just get a boring piece with 'uninspired' design. Besides, while everybody pays lip service to spacious design, some of the most admired carpets (the Ardabil, for example, and many of those Mughal masterpieces) hardly have an inch of open space.
