A row of adjectives can make an object feel less distinct because the reader has to assemble several competing impressions. A short subtraction exercise helps identify the detail the sentence actually needs.
Give the object a job in the scene
Suppose your draft describes “a small, shabby, green, awkward wooden stool.” Ask why the stool matters at this moment. If a character cannot fit it under a desk, its dimensions or shape may matter more than its colour.
Write a version with one description, then a version with none. You may find that the character’s action already supplies the useful information: the stool catches against the desk each time she pushes it in.
Keep contrast when it earns its place
Several adjectives can be deliberate, especially when their combination creates a precise contrast or voice. The exercise is not a rule limiting every noun to one modifier.
Return to the full paragraph and ask which description survives in the reader’s memory. Choose details that help this scene rather than inventorying everything you imagine. Removing a weak modifier can give the remaining one more force, while leaving room for the object to acquire other qualities when the story needs them.
