7 things – the living room
July 24, 2008
here are 7 things that could be minimalized in your living room today:
- books (on the bookcase or in the magazine rack)
- old family photos (do you really need 2 photos of your cousin displayed?)
- cds/dvds (remove the ones you don’t use and put the remainders in storage out of sight)
- decorative items (keeping just the items that you want people to notice will help them get noticed)
- entertainment center (remove old components and organize cords)
- children’s toys (put them in storage out of sight – “everything gets a home”)
- furniture (remove and rearrange – you just may fall in love with the extra space)
do you have anything to add to the list?

Hey I love the blog! I’ve been looking for a good minimalism blog for a while. Apart from Unclutterer they’re hard to come by!
Got any suggestions?

may applied to your #2. Every flat surfaces or blank walls do not need pictures. Think less is more. Great list! Thanks.
