Over the years we have been seeing in home living magazines like Vogue Living and Home Beautiful a minimal look that is open, de-cluttered space that is organised in a simple yet clever manner.
This highly desirable look can be a difficult to achieve in reality, particularly if you have a full family with loved toys and trinkets collected over the years. But if you do have the feeling as though you are continually cleaning, and your home is just never really tidy – then it could be time to adopt the minimalist mindset.

But if you do have the feeling as though you are continually cleaning, and your home is just never really tidy – then it could be time to adopt the minimalist mindset.
There are some key benefits as to why a minimalist home can lead you to a happier family life. It sure is less stressful and not as distracting as a dwelling full of clutter!
When you Google “minimalist homes” or “minimalist spaces”, straight away you think that the interior design is amazing. If the exactly the same room was full of clutter, that is exactly all you would see – mess!
A third reason is that a minimalist room is much easier to clean than one full of untidiness.
Here are 7 quick tips from us at Chateau Architects + Builders, to help you apply a mindset of minimalisation and put it into practice.
Unfortunately, there are no perfect steps in order to create a minimalist home. We decided to break it up so it’s not too overwhelming (and what you should focus on first) so you can crack on with it! Here are our tips which we would offer anyone wanting to create that special minimalist style:
This is the fun part, think of how you would like to your home to look. Start a pinboard on Pinterest , and collect ideas for each space. Having this clear picture in mind will make it easier to make decisions on what to keep, and what to cull.
To make the process easier, give yourself week, or months to go through things in a considered manner. The easiest way is to break things down. Room-by-room is the simplest way to do this, making the project more manageable. Give yourself time to go through each room too.
Do you have a friend who is a super-organiser? Or a sweet child who loves to help? Getting the family involved in the process is an effective way to get things done, and keep yourself sane at the same time.
Unless you’re moving into a new home, it’s very challenging (and overwhelming) to re-order and entire house at once! Try to focus on one room, and then when you’re done, move onto another, then another and before you know it, you’ll have reorganised your entire house!
