The art of minimalist living: from clothing to the home

Less is more – with these three words you have described minimalism quite well. Minimalism is one of the biggest trends of the last few years and has become an integral part of almost all areas, be it fashion, interior, art or lifestyle. Minimalism stands for doing without the unnecessary things and concentrating instead on the essentials. There is no magic formula how to achieve this state, but a few tips and tricks how to make your whole life easier and more minimalistic.

Minimalism – definition & background

Getting rid of everything unnecessary and concentrating on the essentials, that is minimalism. That can be superfluous objects, but also rusty friendships. Everything that gives pleasure may remain. According to clean-up and minimalism expert Marie Kondo: “Does it spark joy?” Minimalism has little to do with renunciation. Because everything that brings you joy is allowed, but only these things.

3. If it were lost, would it affect me or would I not even notice it?
4. How often do I use it?
5. Do I keep it just because it was a gift or expensive?
