overfurnish

Too much furniture

To overfurnish is to fill a space with too much furniture, leaving it cluttered or cramped rather than comfortable: The Victorian parlor was overfurnished with settees, side tables, and whatnots.

The word can apply literally to interior decorating or figuratively to anything overloaded with elements: an overfurnished prose style.
