Reworking Your Home in a Minimalist Way

Having spent more and more time in our own homes, especially this past year, we’re starting to reconsider our home design. When you spend a lot of time in a space, you want it to feel clear, comfortable and anything but overwhelming. Many of us live in cluttered environments, filled with belongings and with little space to really kick back and relax. But there are ways to overcome this. One option that you have is to make your home a little more minimalist in design. This will help to declutter, clear up space and make your living environment a whole lot nicer! Here are some steps that you can take to achieve this.

Avoid a Full Blown Minimalist Approach

You don’t have to completely get rid of all of your belongings and live in a plain white room. Minimalism doesn’t have to be extreme. Instead, you can simply embrace the mindset of minimizing the amount you have and use, and freeing up space to actually enjoy living in it! Start with small steps, seeing what you can clear out, decluttering and making your home a reduced canvas to work with.

Use Neutral Color Schemes

Of course, color schemes are important when it comes to minimalist design. Most people will adopt neutral color schemes when implementing minimalism into their home. Not only are neutral colors non-offensive, but they make things feel brighter and more airy. Some preferred tones tend to include whites, beiges, creams, magnolias, light greys and mushroom colors. [You can do this by picking neutral-colored furniture such as a leather sofa, center table, tv stand, and other significant furniture.] This isn’t to say you can’t have any bright tones in your home though. Incorporate bright colors into your living space through accessories and signature pieces of furniture or art.

Invest in Clever Storage Solutions

While minimalist homes may well look like they don’t have all too many belongings inside, people still need to live and use countless items on a day-to-day basis to get by. Minimalist homes have these same belongings, but they are just stored away in clever and efficient ways. If you want a minimalist home, storage solutions will quickly become your best friend. There are all sorts of storage options to consider and the best suited to you will depend on your preferences and needs. For clothes, a Chest of drawers from Tylko could be appropriate. Built-in wardrobes with sliding doors are also a great space saving option. Under-bed storage is great for other miscellaneous items, such as bedding and towels.

Switch Curtains for Blinds

This may seem an odd point to focus on, but switching curtains for blinds can give your home a much more sleek and tidy appearance. Curtains can often come across as bulky and may collect dust over time. Blinds are also easier to open and can let natural light filter through at different intensities depending on how much you open them.

These are just a few tips and tricks to get you started when it comes to creating a home with a more minimalist feel. Each step will make all the difference, so why not give them a go?
