Minimalism has rightly become a top long trending topic online. Videos on YouTube, articles on blogs and magazines, dedicated channels. Why is this such a popular topic? The reason is simple: because the meaning of turning the house upside down and getting rid of superfluous things goes beyond objects. Minimalism is primarily a change of paradigm in your life. It means developing new habits, getting rid of objects that tire us and drain energy out of us. It is meant as a good practice, one of those that leads to greater awareness in making our everyday decisions. After all, the main rules of minimalism can be applied both to your house and to your life. The benefits? Countless.

Get rid of anything superfluous

The first step is to get rid of superfluous things. This may seem hard to do initially, but the result will reward all your efforts. Indeed, having too many objects drains us of vital energy and time and is tiring. Marie Kondo believes there is a specific method to understand when the time to get rid of an object has come. According to the KonMari method, when an object no longer sparks joy, it’s time to throw it or give it away.

Few, but good

Furniture should be like friends: few, but good. This largely means focusing on quality and choosing durable materials built to stand wear over time. Invest in fine materials such as marble or quartz agglomerates or go sustainable by opting for eco-friendly furniture in natural fibres.

Get organised

Organisation is the key to everything. We mentioned that a minimalist style favours few quality elements. Another essential point is tidiness. Every object must have its own place. To organise yourself in the best possible way, you can use containers and other space-saving solutions. Anyhow, it is important to avoid cluttering rooms with visible boxes and organisers – a minimal house must favour essential lines.
