[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate clutter and am trying for a more minimalist look in our tiny house.  The trouble is, whenever I search for minimalist decor online, I only find super modern looks.  Our house is over 70 years old, and very modern furniture doesn't look right in it (nor is it my personal preference).

Have others dealt with this issue and, if so, would you please share some ideas?[/quote]

You're using the wrong search term.  "Minimalism" is a specific design esthetic.  You're looking for uncluttered, which isn't a furniture style either.  Try looking at design sites and pictures that speak to you and cross referencing the furniture.

This will give you a sense of furniture styles:

This is an example of traditional furniture, you'd edit out artwork for a more minimalist feel:
