I also have a small tip that works for me. My furniture placement is such that I do not have to move anything to vacuum or sweep. Meaning nothing is that close to the wall or other object that that the vacuum head can not pass through. 😂😂

[@minimalease]

Great idea!! Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️

[@megananothen610]

Tip to go along with #2. If you have cabinets that dont go up to the ceiling, line the tops with paper towels or tin foil so that every so often you just replace those instead of having to dust and degrease.

[@minimalease]

This is such a good idea or even just old towels, save the headache! Love it!

[@Joy-zp5lv]

@@minimalease My grandma used newspapers. Easy to switch out and good for the environment as well.

[@joannelamoureux9729]

Exactly what I do. I use flyers and even unused wrapping paper. Takes minutes to remove and change out. ​@@Joy-zp5lv

I love that you mentioned you don't love to cook or bake, but you'll do it. I often feel guilty about that for some reason. Occasionally I'm excited to cook or bake, but it isn't the norm. But I like having home cooked meals. 🤣 😅

[@minimalease]

Hahah it’s the truth 🤣 my husband doesn’t like cooking either so we find a lot of meals at Trader Joe’s 😂

[@TheClutterLady]

@@minimalease yes, thank God for Trader Joe's! 😅

[@user-io4ut5gn5b]

I glad you she mentioned that as well. As they think a woman's job is to keep the house clean and stay in the kitchen😂Wrong, it's a difference when you actually can cook 🤭but you don't have too. Simply, because you don't feel like it. I'm not switching up nothing .I didn't have to do cook when I was younger the people that loved me didn't make me do it😏so keeping that same energy. You should never have to compromise who you are to appease others🤒go find someone who will do it cause I'm not 🤪

[@Shiryone]

Next time you clean your hall light fixture and clean it, take some light car wax or Rain-X and put some on it. It keeps dust from clinging to it and makes it much easier to wipe down. I've done this to as many surfaces as I could in my house: baseboards, mirrors, glass on picture frames, glass shower doors, etc. It's a life changer.

[@minimalease]

Never heard this one! Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️

[@lisacarter3952]

Great tip! 👍

[@daphblue]

I have a big hutch I painted a soft yellow, and it’s in our laundry room. It’s been extremely functional for us, and has cut down a lot of visual clutter because I can hide everything away in bins or behind doors.

[@minimalease]

So glad it’s working for you ❤️ thanks for sharing

I'm in Scotland and your videos are really inspiring me to get rid of excess stuff and make my life so much easier. Thank you ❤

[@minimalease]

Aww thanks so much ❤️❤️ Scotland is on our bucket list to visit!

[@Marsolan]

I liked all the ideas and do almost all of them except the stainless fridge😂😂 I completely agree that rugs need to be washable. I love curtains for the same reason I do have a few shutters which are much wider than blinds and using swifter seem to do the job. But in general, I would agree that when you invest in something think how you gonna clean it how are you gonna maintain it? Is this really gonna take too much energy that you want to? And an answer could be yes to some things and definitely know to others . Thank you for inspirations❤

[@minimalease]

Thanks for sharing!! ❤️ always great to hear what other people do 😍

Love your kitchen!!! So pretty. We did ours up a few years ago and no more upper cabinets. Also took a wall down for an open plan. The other side is mostly a big window. So no room for any. Looks amazing. Love our new ish kitchen.

[@minimalease]

That sounds beautiful 😍

[@pamelaflickinger2160]

❤❤❤When I moved I donated my buffet table. My last two houses did not have soffits above the kitchen cabinets. I am so grateful that this house does easier than cleaning the others and less clutter. I need to try hushing my kitchen countertops. I also have a few mini blinds and like you most stay raised up. Thank you for this video ❤

The curio or hutch cabinet. I bought a huge and heavy one and instantly regretted it. It has ended up in basement catching more dust and stuff. I’m going to donate it along with decor I don’t use anymore. Having less has made me feel so much better. Your videos inspire me 😊

[@minimalease]

That’s great!! Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️

[@CesiraKelleher-im5nu]

This was so on point . I really used to love curio cabinets. For me nope just wanted to fill it then I clean it constantly. We just did a purge on all of our heavy furniture. I also love rugs but constantly tripping and cleaning them. For blinds I love Bali blinds feel like they don’t get too dusty. Still on the fence for myself on lots of curtains ☺️ agree with a lot of this. Always enjoy watching❤

[@minimalease]

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences ❤️❤️

[@rebeccablackburn9957]

We took down all of our pendants and chandeliers and replaced them with modern flushmounts similar to recessed lighting. So much easier to keep clean. Just use a long handle duster and you’re done.

[@minimalease]

Love it! Such a great idea ❤️❤️

[@Marsolan]

Curio cabinet here as well, heavy as hell. Will sell

[@samanthadudley6412]

Some of my cabinets don't go all the way up to the ceiling because my ceiling in my kitchen is slanted ( I live in a double wide with slanted ceilings) but I never put anything on top of the cabinets because I always felt like it looked cluttered when I saw other people do it.

[@minimalease]

I’ve never had my cabinets go all the way to the ceiling but I really enjoy it now! But my mom doesn’t and it is so much easier to clean when there’s nothing up there too❤️❤️❤️ thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!!

[@AnnefromManila]

It's soooooooooo hard to maintain a minimalist home when you have someone in your house who's a hoarder.

[@minimalease]

Yes! I get that ❤️❤️

[@AMcDub0708]

Definitely 😢 There’s usually a root cause to that and sometimes it takes therapy.

[@lauriecampbell1378]

I've recently decided to treat my kitchen countertop as a work area like a workshop and have nothing decorative on them. I don't like cooking either, but I like to make a healthy meal for me and my husband once a day.

Nice ideas friend. I hear you on the rugs. We have a large victorian which is very cold in the winter so I do have 3 large rugs in the common areas they are warm on the feet and the kids sit and play on the floor a lot, but I do wash them on our porch in the summer and roll them up and put them away till the next winter. I have been doing the room reset or hushing of a room it's nice to see what you really need.❤

♥ We had horizontal blinds in both front windows and I was glad when our old dog ruined the ones in the living room so we could throw them out. My partner's mom bought them for us so he won't let go of the ones in the dining room, even though it looks dumb to have one window with and the other window without on the same wall. He can clean them if he wants to keep them. I have enough to worry about with the intricately detailed chandeliers in the dining room and entryway.

[@minimalease]

We have blinds in my bedroom because my husband doesn’t want them to go but they always stay up because I refuse to clean them 🤣 so I’m totally with you on that! Our light fixture in the hallway is such a pain so it definitely on the list to be replaced some day hopefully in the not so distant future 🫣🤣

[@kimproffitt8003]

Ugh. The excess furniture problem. We have a large family, (six kids still living at home, and one already moved out and married with a baby.) And we rent a 2100 sq. ft. home. So keeping my clutter under control is an important part of making hospitality possible. When it comes to furniture, I feel like it’s a catch 22, because I want SPACE for everyone, but also want SEATING for everyone. Right now, my living room would be a more comfortable space without the loveseat. We have a couch, rocker, chair, and loveseat in there, and it’s just too much. But at the same time, if I move the loveseat out, at least two of the kids would end up sitting on the floor every night. This is a tough call for me. I should add, that there’s a family room down the hall, with a huge sectional that does have enough room for everyone (and the tv). The living room, where the loveseat in question is, is really used most often when we have visitors, or are having family worship. It’s a place where we can sit and face the people we’re talking to, unlike the family room sectional, which faces the tv.

[@me4011]

Do you have dining room or kitchen chairs or stools? When I have extra people over we just bring those in from the room next to it. My son uses in his room fold up stool for extra guests, you could use cushioned folding chairs then store away flat when not needed

[@nattamused9074]

@@me4011 That’s the idea that I keep thinking about. Yes, the living room and dining room are wide open to each other, and bringing in a couple chairs is totally possible, and something we often do anyway, even with the loveseat. The loveseat is just very big and bulky for a piece that only seats two

[@minimalease]

Obviously just my opinion from reading your message, but it seems like you want a change? Try decluttering whatever piece of furniture you feel like brings you the most headache and see what happens. I have always found having less makes me more creative about how I use my furniture ❤️ good luck friend! And let us know how your journey is going ❤️❤️

Do at least 2 of your kids ENJOY sitting on the floor? I love it even now and even when we do have room on the couch. My husband too. I just sometimes forget it's even an option. 😅
