You can think of it in the same sense as a chef creating "art" on a plate...you don't want to muck it up with a lot of random and unnecessary stuff/items. Sometimes people do the same when decorating the inside of the house. They end up stockpiling junk, making the house too kitschy.
when you compare that to say the houses shown in that TV show Miami Vice, everything is very simple and minimalistic, yet ends up very stylish.

For instance if you build a mansion the size of 10 football pitches it will look bad but if its the size of one it wont look as bad so less is more there.

A clean, simple design is said to be better than an over-busy one.
