Setting up one’s house is a magical yet taxing dream. There are never ending to-buy lists, calling the carpenter for quick fixes, getting a sense of the society and so on.

Many of us tend to order a bunch of things together, and are at a loss when it comes to actually setting it up. You might see your antique stool lying abandoned in the corner, feeling mismatched against the colorful walls. The study table would stand out like an eye sore on the way to the kitchen, and the unnecessary sofa would gather dust in the midst of the extra chairs at your disposal.

As we have begun to get accustomed to decluttering our inner selves through yoga and meditation, it is but obvious to match our surroundings to how we feel. That’s where the art of minimalism comes in, where less is more and highly powerful too.

Let’s get to the basics of setting your minimal house, and we bet you’re going to love it.

Pick your colour

The basic pillar or foundation of setting a minimalist house is being in love with whites and neutrals. 

Although, you are free to add a splash of your favorite colour: be it a green or a red.

Choosing your standout color against the neutral background helps insert a piece of your vibe to your living space. 

As you can see, the above set-up has a relaxed and chill vibe, and does not look too cluttered while also having blue as it’s standout color in the form of the super comfy sofa set.

So tip #1 pick your stand-out colour against the neutrals and invest in furniture, frames or show pieces that matches that tone.

De-clutter your surroundings

We have a million things that might seem necessary to us, but if you take a look at your daily usage, you can go ahead and count daily items on your fingers. 

Here are a few basic tips to begin channeling your inner Mary Kondo:

• Keep the extra stationery inside your study drawer
• Organise your everyday groceries inside sleek and spacious boxes
• Place your daily toiletries in the bathroom, and organise the rest inside the cabinet

• Get racks to organize tissues and other bathroom knick knacks

• Place different varieties of snake plants in each room. Ofcourse, you are free to choose the plant you like

Dig into Physics

Empty spaces, focal points, and angles are the surnames of minimalism. Once you’ve decided on your main furniture, do a little recce of the spaces used by you and place the sets accordingly. 

Get in show pieces that match your minimal look, and have the courage to let go of the ones that don’t. You can always store them to try out a new look later.

When you’re planning to set up your living room, imagine your frequent gatherings and add adequate furniture but try not to go overboard. 

Throw in a rug that matches your walls to pump things up while still maintaining your minimal vibe.

Board the Bohemian Train

You might have seen an explosion of bohemian decor all around you. But when it comes to the types under it, there is a long list. Some bohemian designs have a pop of a multitude of colors, while some pieces are under-stated yet powerful in the form of macrame pillow cases, rugged carpets, and neutral tapestries.

You can go pick bohemian pieces online with ease, and match their tones with your furniture to lend a piece of warmth and coziiness to your space.
