You’ve seen the term ‘minimalist’ everywhere in the past year - but what’s it really about and where do you begin?

Minimalism is a word that’s been thrown about A LOT this past year and it really has almost become a craze..

The basic idea is to live a more simple life that you enjoy. Not the idea that you should live with no possessions!

Hacks for Living in a Tiny Space

Of course not! As we already talked about when looking at an introduction to compact living there are some key things that you do need to consider when downsizing or living in a small space..

Everything can be multi-functional - Furniture choices are key.
Keep it light and airy - Don’t over-do it on lots of colours.
Integrate some soft edges in the space e.g. round table.
Make sure you have sufficient storage - As they say, out of sight out of mind…
Introduce plants into the place - bring the outside in.
