If you\u2019ve ever packed up your possessions and moved to a new place, you know an undeniable truth: you have too much stuff. Fortunately for your ego, it\u2019s not just you:\u00a0the average U.S. home has 300,000 things<\/a>. It makes moving stressful, but it also makes life day in and day out a pain. With so much stuff weighing us down, it’s no surprise that the biggest trend in home decor these days is not just a piece of decor, but a lifestyle change: the minimalist home.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no definitive way to embrace minimalist living<\/a>, but getting your home organized, decluttered, and minimized–in short, making it a minimalist home–is a great start. This can be daunting, even in a one-bedroom apartment, so instead of trying to do it all at once, we\u2019ve broken the process down into a room-by-room guide to turn your house into a minimalist home. Follow these tips, and you\u2019ll find yourself living happily with less in no time:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start Your Minimalist Home in the Living Room<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start your transition to a minimalist home with the room you visit most often–and that accumulates the most clutter. Start transitioning your living room to a minimalist style by first cleaning up the space and clearing off all the extra stuff you have lying around–on the coffee table, end tables, window ledges, and entertainment center. As you clean, don\u2019t just stick the random items in storage or reorganize them on the shelf. Dump your knick-knacks<\/strong> and magazines, and place loose papers where they belong (which might just be in the recycle bin).\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve cleared off your surfaces, you can focus on the furniture<\/strong> and statement pieces. Think about what you use in this space, and how you use it. Is your accent chair just a decorative piece? Does that end table just serve as a stand for a lamp you never use? When was the last time you lit the collection of candles sitting on the end table? If it\u2019s not functional, donate it.<\/strong> From here, you\u2019ll have to decide if you want to keep your current furniture or move to a more minimalist set of new furniture, like a sectional and coffee table instead of countless couches, chairs, and end tables.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With furniture figured out, there\u2019s one major piece of the living room remaining: decor. Any throw pillows and blankets you don\u2019t regularly use should be disposed of<\/strong> (you know you don\u2019t regularly use four throw pillows, so be brutal). While you\u2019re in the purging mood, nix any rugs<\/strong>. They\u2019re not entirely necessary decor, and getting rid of them will also allow you to get rid of any rug-cleaning products you have stashed away in the bathroom (but we\u2019ll get to that later).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it\u2019s time to look at the walls. Endless collections of framed family photos are cute in theory, but cluttered in reality. Opt to keep your walls minimalist by having two to three larger pieces of art on the walls, and keep one wall bare to balance the room<\/strong>. If you simply can\u2019t part with your photos and frames, at least rearrange them to form a gallery wall<\/a>.

Go Minimalist in the Kitchen<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BsZGTZQl5_J\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thinking logically, your kitchen is one of the most practical spaces in the home, so therefore, shouldn\u2019t it be the most inherently minimalist? While it\u2019s a nice idea, the truth is that most of our kitchens are weighed down with duplicate tools, overloaded pantries, and covered counters. You didn\u2019t pay for those nice marble countertops to hide them beneath cereal boxes, so if you\u2019re committed to minimalist living, the minimalist home has to include your kitchen.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begin your transition to a minimalist kitchen by emptying out every cabinet<\/strong> and putting their contents on the counter and table (and if you really need space, the floor). Spot unnecessary duplicates? Expired pantry basics? Things you\u2019ve forgotten you kept in the house? Donate them or throw them away.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BrfNBaUn0Es\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With the first pass out of the way, it\u2019s time to get granular, starting with your kitchen utensils. Ditch duplicates of measuring cups, spoons, and other cooking utensils<\/strong>. And any utensils that are falling apart should go, too, but make a note to get new ones for yourself.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which bring up an important point for establishing a permanent minimalist home, in your kitchen or elsewhere: buy quality items that will last in the long-term<\/strong>. Investing in quality kitchen utensils and supplies, like knives and cutting boards, will mean you need to buy less backups and duplicates, keeping your kitchen minimalist far beyond this first transition.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to dump your old kitchen supplies? Book a Dolly and we\u2019ll handle the dump run for you. <\/strong><\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve removed duplicates and beaten down items, it\u2019s time to consider the design of your kitchen. Open shelving or glass cabinetry lends itself well to stylish pieces and matching flatware sets. If you\u2019re lucky enough to have this in your kitchen, consider these exposed spaces a \u201cfunctional display\u201d area<\/strong>, and keep them minimally stocked. Doing so will also force you to purge more to make room in your other cabinets.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up, kitchen appliances. We all accumulate small appliances over time, from toasters to food processors to that blender from the year you were determined to drink smoothies more (we\u2019ve all been there). Many of these are actually worth keeping in your kitchen (though if you\u2019ve given up on smoothies, it\u2019s time to give up on the blender), but small appliances don\u2019t belong on your counter<\/strong>. You can keep one or two small appliances out–and make them the most used, like your coffee maker or toaster–but the rest should be stored away in closets or cabinets to be brought out when you need to use them (bonus: this will help you clear out more space, and force you to keep your appliances clean).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which leads into the final, golden rule of maintaining a minimalist home in your kitchen: keep the counters clear<\/strong>. You don\u2019t need decorative salt shakers, knick knacks, or anything else cluttering them up. Think of your kitchen as a workspace, and minimalist design will come easily.

Minimalist Design Means Maximum Relaxation in Bedrooms<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s talk about the space that should be the most minimalist, but probably is far from it: your bedroom. Minimalism in your bedroom can help keep you relaxed and create a haven from the day\u2019s work and activities. To make your bedroom space your more minimalist, follow one golden rule throughout, here more than anywhere else in the home: no excess anything<\/strong>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BsTslLhjWXS\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with one of the least minimal parts of your bedroom: your wardrobe. While developing a pared-down capsule wardrobe is a great step towards minimizing your wardrobe permanently, short-term minimizing can be done with a basic clothing purge. Once you\u2019ve gotten rid of clothing you no longer wear, no longer like, or that no longer fits, all clothing belongs in your closet.<\/strong> Hang some of it, put a small wardrobe inside the closet it you have to, or stack it on the shelves. The point is, your clothing should be out of sight and stored all in one place so you\u2019re less inclined to leave it lying out across the room.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring your unwanted clothing to a donation center with the push of a button.<\/strong><\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you\u2019ve tackled your closet, it\u2019s time to take some rules you learned when clearing out your living room and apply it to your bedroom, starting with pillows and blankets. If you have pillows and blankets on your bed that you don’t use every day, get rid of them<\/strong>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BsTfdhJAQbt\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The same goes for all your bedroom decor. A lamp on your nightstand is fine if you use it, but a collection of framed family photos on your dresser is a no-go. Here, your decor should be functional or relaxing<\/strong> to fit the space\u2019s intention. Think candles, diffusers, and maybe a few favorite books–so long as it\u2019s not cluttered.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring the Minimalist Home to Your Bathroom<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you thought the room you visit to get clean would be inherently minimalist, you\u2019d be wrong. The good news about minimizing your bathroom is that it\u2019s perhaps the easiest room to make minimal.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BsL_o_EF7PC\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Decluttering your bathroom comes down to one thing that you probably have a lot of: products you no longer use. That half-empty bottle of color shampoo from when you had bleached hair. The moisturizer that didn\u2019t work out that well. The backup mascara for when your backup mascara runs out. Throw out any product you don\u2019t regularly use<\/strong>. Once you\u2019ve winnowed down your product collection, winnow it down further in your shower to only products you use in the shower regularly (meaning at least every other day). Just like in the kitchen, store your items out of sight to appreciate your countertops and keep them clear.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, there\u2019s bathroom decor to handle. If you guessed that such a high-function room should be devoid of decor, you\u2019re (mostly) right. A simple shower curtain <\/strong>(read: a single, muted color), a bath mat, and a trash bin are all you need to keep this room beautiful and functional<\/strong>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiss Clutter Goodbye in Your Office<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BsBB9CClUkP\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For those lucky enough to have an office space at home, you might have found it\u2019s both a blessing and a curse. As your \u201cworking\u201d area at home, most of the things you don\u2019t want to deal with–bills, paperwork–end up there, making it cluttered and far from minimalist before you even get to your job-related items. Before you\u2019re ready to make your office the next room in your minimalist home, take some time to go through the unofficial \u201cinbox\u201d pile on your desk and deal with everything there<\/strong>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once that\u2019s done, it\u2019s time to find a permanent solution to the endless paperwork problem. A big file cabinet can be bulky and difficult to keep organized, so if you\u2019re willing to work digitally, buy a combination scanner\/printer. These aren\u2019t much more expensive than basic printers, and will save you in the long run from mountains of clutter. Scan bills and other documents you want to hold onto<\/strong>, store them on your computer or an external hard drive, and toss out the paper copies.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Office supplies are another large source of clutter that make it difficult to maintain a minimalist home office. While it\u2019s tempting to buy these in bulk, most at-home offices don\u2019t require 1,000 packs of pencils or enough pen varieties to stock a small business. You probably own too much office supplies, so purge out the office supplies you don\u2019t use regularly (and the unnecessary backups)<\/strong>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BsHmO1ynfpV\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might notice that this leaves your desk cabinets and drawers feeling empty. This is a great place to put small things you can\u2019t scan or purge–a pile that is hopefully small at this point. If you don\u2019t have much you need to store, opt for a simpler desk without cabinets or storage<\/strong>. The few supplies you do need to keep can be put in a stylish desk organizer on top of the desk as a reminder to yourself not to buy things you don\u2019t have space for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
