here are 7 things that could be minimalized in your living room today:

  1. books (on the bookcase or in the magazine rack)
  2. old family photos (do you really need 2 photos of your cousin displayed?)
  3. cds/dvds (remove the ones you don’t use and put the remainders in storage out of sight)
  4. decorative items (keeping just the items that you want people to notice will help them get noticed)
  5. entertainment center (remove old components and organize cords)
  6. children’s toys (put them in storage out of sight – “everything gets a home”)
  7. furniture (remove and rearrange – you just may fall in love with the extra space)

do you have anything to add to the list?

  1. 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?


  2. yeah, i really like the simplicity section on zenhabits.net.


  3. Gaming accessories! – i’m trying to get our family to keep them in a drawer in our tv stand. :)
