If you’re getting older and have decided to downsize and move into a smaller home or you’ve just purchased your very first starter home, it may be time to start thinking about home design and interior decorating. Although this is something many people enjoy and have a lot of fun with, that’s not the case for everyone. If you don’t feel that you’re someone who is good at home design, you’re not alone.
In addition to being unsure of where to start, you might also be nervous about your home being cluttered. If you prefer your space to be calm and only like to include things in your home that are actually useful, you’re probably a minimalist! The good news is that there are lots of other minimalists out there just like you who’ve managed to design gorgeous homes, so you can glean some inspiration from them! Here are 3 home design tips for minimalists.
Make Sure Everything Has A Place
Making sure that everything in your home has a place is an important part of keeping it clean, tidy, and minimal. Start with closets, drawers, cabinets, and any other areas of the home that are easily covered. These are the places guests typically won’t see when they come over to your house. If those areas are organized and every item has a place where it goes, it’ll be easier to organize and decorate the rest of your home in a way that is both sensible and aesthetically pleasing to you.
Use Plants As Decor
House plants have a unique way of making any room appear calm and centered without looking like clutter or taking up too much space. In lieu of loud decorations or artwork that might not suit you, instead, opt to use some plants as decor. You’ll have the added benefit of the oxygen they’ll create. Just make sure they’re well taken care of and placed near a window if they need sunlight to survive because dead plants won’t look nearly as nice.
Follow Your Heart
When it comes to home design, at the end of the day the only person it needs to make happy is you (and perhaps anyone else living in the home with you). You shouldn’t worry about following trends or doing what other people will think looks good!
Follow your heart during the process of designing your home, and that means including a room that has nothing but a reading chair in it, great! Do what works for you and it will look pulled together once it’s all finished.
Designing your home in a minimalistic way doesn’t have to be stressful! In fact, it can be a very pleasant process. Hopefully, these tips can help!
