To clutter or not to clutter? This is the question. Well, if you’re trying to give your home a little more of a minimalist approach, the answer is clear: throw out everything that doesn’t spark joy. Living in a minimalist home doesn’t need to be a joyless phenomenon. The “nothing-but-the-kitchen-sink” approach to interior design can be an easy choice for many people. No bowls of miscellaneous items on the coffee table, no mismatched patterns, and definitely no shopping bags stacked behind the kitchen door. Of course, living in a clutter-free zone depends on space, and while it may be aspirational, it’s not feasible for everyone.
So, how do you make the most of what is already available? After a diligent clear-out, we recommend a simple approach: think clean lines, muted to no color, and natural materials with the occasional high-polished finish.
See our top picks below to perfect your minimalist home.
