I had a hard time with depression and anxiety, so I put up word signs to kinda encourage me. I did however choose the signs carefully cause they had to match my room, and pertain to my life.

I live in a very small apartment so I had to choose wisely the storage solutions. All furniture is white, I decided not to use coffe tables or side tables of any kind and all of our storage is closed (no open shelves gathering dust). We also chose soft colours (soft blue, grey and white) and only one picture in the living room and another one in the bedroom. My countertops and all surfaces are empty except for a pop of colour on a desk. And we paid a builder to move several outlets so there are no cords in sight in any place of the house, as our tv outlets are now behind the tvs and so on. So everybody agrees that although the apartment is tiny, it looks airy and relaxing.

Great tips! About a year ago, we listed our house in Michigan to be ready for a downsizing move to Florida. Before listing the Michigan house, I went through the entire house and did a purge of over half the items in our closets, drawers, cupboards, garage, and basement. It was the most freeing thing I ever did in my life! When I was finished the house looked amazing and it was so easy to clean! We downsized from a 3500 square foot house and three car garage and full basement to a 1980 square foot house with a two car garage and no basement. Our new Florida house has very little closet space but we are fine with that! We figure it is less space for us to accumulate more stuff for our kids to get rid of when we pass away! We have been here almost ten months now and I find myself still gathering things to donate to Amvets because I’m finding I just don’t need so much clutter - even in my closets or cupboards! It’s so much easier to find everything and easier to get to when everything is in it’s proper place! I don’t have to move things to get a serving bowl from the cabinet or to get my toaster off the shelf. We still have a lot of stuff but it all fits in the space we have. Easy to find. Easy to clean. I wish I had found your videos years ago! You are still rather young, but, older people have a hard time letting things go because so many things bring back memories of when they or their children were young. Clearing out my parents house after they passed away made me realize that I cannot take it with me so why let so much stuff weigh down my life now? I also view too much stuff as more things to dust in my house. I don’t want to be a slave to my stuff. I never thought of minimalism in such a way before. I didn’t even realize I had become a minimalist until I saw your videos! Mind blown! (In a great way!)

Clearing countertops has changed my life! In my “minimalism” journey, I’ve realized I’m not a stark aesthetic minimalist, but I deeply admire minimalist principles and I still use them daily when I clean and declutter! I also love the power of three rule- I use it a lot. Thanks for another great video.

Finally, I found someone who shares my thoughts on word decor! 😄

I love the tip of having a color palette for a room. it does look visually pleasing.

[MarTinkaBell]

This is so helpful for someone with adhd and feeling so overwhelmed by clutter and solidifies how impactful our environments are

We tried a basket in the living room. Cat peed in it. Can’t have nice things.

This video motivated me to finish removing all the clutter from the bottom of my smallish walk-in closet - it's about 4 feet X 4 feet. I was contemplating where the vaccuum cleaner belonged in there, when I decided to try putting in my meditation cushions instead. Even though the shelves haven't yet been cleared or organized, it already feels great to sit there. I will find somewhere else to store the vacuum cleaner and broom, winter coats, etc. and hang a serene tapestry from the top shelf to make a relaxing sanctuary. I have wanted a dedicated enclosed space to meditate for almost 30 years, so this is huge for me!

Like my word signs. They are not going away and my house does not look cluttered. I get many compliments on my signs, wanting to know where i get them(i make them) so lots of orders for signs as these same people have friends that visit their homes and want signs like that. My home is warm and inviting, not cold and sterile.

I just had bookcases and a fireplace built. My two declutter tips are put outlets on top of the mantel. I originally did it for Christmas lights, but it has been taken over with a sound bar. And two, in arranging the bookcases, I put rows of books on the bottom two to visually hold the rest of the bookcase, scattered books in the rest, only put one object in some shelves and (stay with me here), cut out beautiful wrapping paper and lined the backwall of two shelves on each tower. It needed something to help unify the four towers of bookshelves and move your eye across. Pretty happy with it.

I decluttered everything in my home, within a month or so. It s made my life so much easier and cleaning so less of a chore. But I still need to tidy each day. Before going to bed, I make sure everything is tidy and there are no dirty dishes. My kitchen sink needs to be clean at all times

I have one item of word art: one of those boards with changeable words. It's on the kitchen counter beside the coffee maker. The extra letters are in a container beside it. When someone comes up with a phrase they want to share, they change it. It's fun to challenge yourself with phrases that you can share with the rest of the family. I don't think I could live with one unchanging piece of word art.

Not going to lie, I actually shouted when I saw this title! This video is exactly what I needed!!! So many great tips!! Thank you!!!

[busybeeme]

This was a great video with fab tips. I hate visual clutter. I always dry my dishes as i don’t like to see them on the draining board, I always make my bed and I like to keep my worktops as clear as possible. Before I go t9 bed at night I straighten the sofas and throw pillows and make sure everything is put away. It only takes a few minutes and Its so nice to wake up to a clean clear space.

🌿 Visual clutter is my enemy. It literally disrupts my focus. Although I am not a traditional minimalist (small kids), minimalism still colors my lifestyle philosophy.

[elizabethlangheim]

Removing decor sitting on the kitchen counters made a big difference for me. Also, I find people who like houseplants have them everywhere and because they are living don’t consider them clutter but I find more than one in a space visually distracting.
