I can not say that I really apertemen minimalist, but not messy, and most people I know would call a minimalist apertemen beautiful.
One visitor who saw my kitchen and said, "I've never seen a kitchen that looks so clean, so the things clear!" Well, I do my best to stay clean, but the button to delete items that are not needed.
For example, on the floor of the kitchen / dining room with only a few main table (the obvious confusion there), chairs, a few counter seats, high chairs, step stools for children. At the ticket window with only a toaster, microwave and coffee.
This is a minimalist aspertemen with character and contentment and life? Some might think so, but I get a strange satisfaction, fulfillment, looked around and saw the chaos apertemen free. It's calming, and liberating, and quite good.
Benefits of a Minimalist apertemen
I could go for a while this is possible, but I just list a few major benefits:
1. Less stress. Chaos is a form of visual disturbances, and everything in our vision of at least a little interesting. Less mess, less stress we have a visual. A minimalist home is calming.
2. More interesting. Think about the image apertemen cluttered, and photos apertemen minimalist. That compares to almost nothing in it except some beautiful furniture, some artwork, good, and some decorations are very beautiful, is the most interesting part of us. You can make your home more attractive to be more minimalist.
3. It is easy to clean. Difficult to clean a large number of objects, or sweep or vacuum around a bunch of furniture. Goods you have, the more you have to keep it clean, and more complicated to clean around the stuff. Think about how easy it is to clean the room is empty, compared with 50 objects in it. That's an extreme example, of course, because I do not recommend you have an empty space, but only to illustrate the difference.
What Looks Like apertemen Minimalist
This will vary, of course, depending on your taste and how you want an extreme minimalist. I am a minimalist, but I do not have the extreme. But here are some characteristics of a minimalist apertemen:
* Minimum of furniture. A minimalist room only contains a few essential appliances. A family room, for example, may only have a bed, chair or chairs, coffee table, a minimalist entertainment stand (not one with a large group of racks), television and some lights. can even contain less (couch, chairs and coffee table, for example). A space may have a simple (or even just a mattress), wardrobe, and maybe night stand or a bookshelf.
* Clean the surface. In apertemen minimalist, flat surface is clear, but one or two decorations (see next item). No amount of jewelry knacks, and definitely not stacks of books or newspapers or other goods.
* Accent decorations. A full house would obviously be a bit boring, actually. So instead of having coffee tables free of any objects, you can have a simple vase with some flowers, for example. Or delete the table may only have a family photo. Blank walls that may have a good part of the art (I use my father's work, as he's a great artist).
* The quality rather than quantity. Instead of having many things in your apertemen, minimalist would choose just a few things very well and love are often used. A really nice table, for example, is better than five press-board furniture.
* Example. Photos at the top of this post is a good example of minimalist apertemen (not apertemen me, but I hope it is). See more photos of a beautiful home. traditional Japanese style houses is another example of minimalism, as it spreads well.
How to Create a Minimalist apertemen
This does not really determine the steps to make your home minimalist, except for changing the philosophy and goals to shoot in the previous section above. But here are some tips that I would offer to anyone trying to shoot for minimalism:
1. One room at a time. Unless you move to a new place, it is difficult to simplify the whole apertemen once. Focus on one room, and let that be the center of peace. Use it to inspire you to simplify the next room, and the next. Then do the same thing outside!
2. Start with furniture. The things in the room is the furniture, so you always have to begin simplifying a room with furniture appearance. Several pieces of furniture, the better (with reason, of course). Think about furniture that can be eliminated without sacrificing comfort and livability. Go to a few pieces of plain, simple furniture (eg, minimalist coffee table) with strong, soft colors.
3. Only the essentials. Do you see any furniture or the room, ask yourself whether the item is really important. If you can live without it, remove it. Try to strip the room to its core - you can always add a few items outside of the important choices later.
4. Remove the floor. Except for furniture, floors you really need to be clear. No need to clutter the floor, not necessarily pretty, do not have to be stored on the floor. Once you get into a big bare of furniture, all is clear again on the floor - either donate it, trash, or looking for a place to get out of sight.
5. Remove the surface. As with all flat surfaces. Nothing in it, except one or two simple decorations (See Tip 9 below). Donation, or find in the outside garbage storage area to the other side. Will make everything much, much less handsome.
6. Clean the wall. Some people hang all kinds of items on the wall. Can not be done in a minimalist apertemen. Remove the wall except for one or two simple pieces of nice artwork (see Tip 8 below).
7. Keep items out of sight. It has been mentioned above tips, but you must save everything you need from view, and long pants in the closet. Bookshelves can be used to store books or DVDs or CDs, but should not exceed except simple decorations (not whole collections of objects).
8. Declutter. If you are clearing and the average surface, and store goods in cupboards and drawers, you might want to declutter your storage area as well. You can do this in the future if you want. How to Declutter see more.
9. Simple works of art. To keep the room is not boring, you can put a simple painting, drawing or photograph, framed with soft, solid color, on each wall if you want. Leave some walls bare if possible.
10. Simple decorations. Referred to in the above tips, one or two simple decorations can be used as accents for a minimalist space. A small vase of flowers or plants taken two classic examples. If the rest of the rooms have a weak color, you can use bright colors (like red or yellow) to draw the eye and give a plain splash of space energy.
11. Plain window treatments. Bare windows, or simple, solid color curtains, or simple, wooden blinds are good. Too much ornate stuff around the window is chaos.
12. Plain patterns. Solid colors are best for floor coverings (if you have one), furniture, etc. Complex patterns, such as flowers or checkers, are visual clutter.
13. Soft colors. As mentioned in Tip 9 above, you can have a splash of bright color in the room, but most rooms have more subtle colors - white and minimalist classic, but any solid color that does not stress the eyes is good (earth colors come to mind, such as blues, brown, tan, green).
14. Edit and eliminate. When you've simplified the room, you may be able to do more. Give a few days, and then look at everything with fresh eyes. What can be deleted? Saved from seeing? What is not important? You can return to their rooms every few months, and sometimes you will find things that can simplify even more.
15. A place for everything. I have discussed in this post, but in a minimalist house, it is important that you find a place for everything, and remember the places where they are located. Where do you go blender? Give the place, and stick with it. logical place to aim for close to a place that used to make things more efficient, but the key that points to a place.
16. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. Once a simple room, take the time to see and enjoy. It's so peaceful and pleasant. This is the reward for hard work. Ahhhh. So good!
